Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (First Corinthians 6:9–11, KJV) What Hinders Revival? In his letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul exposes the danger of spiritual compromise…

“Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:12-14 When we were children, we used to listen to a radio show, called “Fibber McGee and Molly.” I do not remember all the episodes, but I do remember the ones about the closet.

One day classes were dismissed early because of a snowstorm. There were supposed to be city buses waiting for us when we left the school, but there were none.
