Have we lost our hunger for revival? By Michael Brown

The believers there said, "I am rich, and have stored up goods, and have need of nothing." They did not realize that they were "wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked" (Rev. 3:17).

Doesn't that describe so many of us in the church of America today?

Truth be told, our great abundance has been a blessing and a curse.

It has been a blessing because most of us don't live in grinding poverty and many of us have a surplus to help those suffering around the world.

But our great abundance has also been a curse.

We are so filled with other things””with sports and entertainment and possessions and activities and carnality””that there is little room for God in our lives. The distractions are endless and the love for other things crowds out our love for God.

How hungry are we?

Very true.
