Revival, Wet Willies, and Podcasting

Just got a note from a college student in South Carolina. He found NCC during an internship in DC and continues to tune into the theaterchurch.com podcast.

Here is an excerpt from his note:

NCC was the first church that helped me feel close to God. I am now back at school in SC but I listen to your sermon every week through the podcast. Your last one on Y Give was excellent and I wanted to pass along a small dedication gift of my own.

I read that to our staff, and I'm not sure where this came from, but I said, "Revival isn't everyone getting the willies." Revival is college students giving $150 dedication gifts! I was so blessed by this gift because I know it was sacrificial.

I think we tend to "measure revival" by emotional fervor. It ought to be measured by spiritual fruit.

By the way, revival isn't everyone getting wet willies either :)
