EN[If the right kind of praying is a prelude to a genuine revival, the right kind of preaching is of vast moment also. The men who led in seasons of great spiritual quickening were not afraid to preach the exceeding sinfulness of sin and its just retribution, as well as the wondrous love of God in redemption. The thunders of Sinai and the loving invitations of Calvary were both made audible in their trenchant sermons. Such preaching made thorough work. The surfaces of men's hearts and consciences were not merely scratched over with cultured essays about Christianity; the Gospel plough was thrust down deep into the lower strata of human hearts, and into their nethermost convictions of divine truth; and when souls were converted, their eternal hopes were bottomed on the base-rock. Sinners were not only invited to come to Jesus, but were told why they should come and how they should come, and that unless they left their darling sins behind them the Saviour would not accept them. Bear in mind that it was this style of heart-piercing presentation of the Gospel by the apostle Peter which produced the glorious harvest of converts in Jerusalem. That was a typical revival: earnest praying and earnest preaching were attended by a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Why not now? God's word is our supreme authority; God's glorious Gospel is our weapon; God's promises are our guarantee. Up yonder hangs the waiting cloud of heavenly blessings. Shall we have them now? T. L.

BSBActs 2:41 Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

中〔正当的祷告若是真复兴的前奏，那么正当的讲道也同样关系重大。历次属灵大苏醒中的带领者，既不怕传讲神在救赎中奇妙的爱，也不怕传讲罪的极其可恶及其应得的报应。西奈山的雷声与各各他慈爱的邀请，在他们锋利的讲章中都被人听见。这样的讲道作的是彻底的工。人心与良心的表层，不只是被几篇有文化气息的基督教随笔轻轻刮擦一遍；福音的犁被深深推入人心底下的土层，推入他们对神圣真理最深处的确信；而当灵魂归正时，他们永恒的盼望是坐落在磐石根基之上的。罪人不只是被邀请到耶稣这里来，而且被告知为什么要来、当怎样来，并且被告知：他们若不把自己所宠爱的罪撇在身后，救主就不会接纳他们。要记得：正是使徒彼得这种刺透人心的福音陈述，在耶路撒冷带来了归信者的荣耀收成。那是一场典范式的复兴：恳切的祷告与恳切的讲道，伴随着圣灵大能的浇灌。今天为什么不能如此呢？神的话是我们至高的权柄；神荣耀的福音是我们的兵器；神的应许是我们的保证。天上福分的云彩正悬在那上头等候着。我们今天就要得着它们吗？柯以勒（T.
