God's temple

We make no giant claims of winning millions to Christ. Yes, through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit we have had large altar calls at crusades; however, we realize in follow-up work that only a few are sincere-ref Mt 7:13,14.

The Holy Spirit came to convict men and women of sin to draw them to repentance. Yet seldom anymore is it found in church where sinners drop to their knees in godly sorrow and brokenness before God over their sins. In the United States, the hunger for God and His Word and for righteousness, which existed seventy-five or a hundred years ago, has been replaced with a hunger and love for comfort, entertainment, and prosperity.
