When he killed them, they sought him; they repented and sought God earnestly. They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer. But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues. Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant. Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
Yes revival sweeps through the Church, men and women brought to their knees in repentance. Some have wrecked significant change in the surrounding society but rebellion soon sets in. Why are we not terrified that You will finally exercise tough love.
