“I was hurting inside, but I was much too proud to show it.”

“A leader has to have been broken in order to get himself out of the way and realize that he’s not really in the control he thinks he is.”

“My gods were ‘get ahead,’ ‘get power.’ I really enjoyed it. I loved being saluted. I loved being able to sit with the President and talk about great issues. I loved being able to advise him. I realize now, as I look back on it, that’s what I was worshiping. That was my god. And all that had happened when I was broken completely was I realized I wasn’t really as good as I thought I was.”

Can ‘Christians’ use Paul’s “Forgetting the things which are behind…I press on” statement as an excuse to not get right with those they’ve hurt?

The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 by J. Edwin Orr: A Countrywide Asbury-like REVIVAL! The 4 Points: #1 Confess any known sin, and put any wrong done to man right again. #2 Put away any doubtful habit. #3 Obey the Spirit promptly. #4 Confess your faith publicly.
Effects of the WELSH REVIVAL 1904-05: Whole communities were radically changed FROM DEPRAVITY TO GLORIOUS GOODNESS. The CRIME RATE dropped, often to nothing. THE POLICE had little more to do than supervise the coming and going of the people to the chapel prayer meetings. THE UNDERGROUND MINES echoed with the sounds of PRAYER and HYMNS, instead of nasty jokes and gossip. People who had fallen out BECAME FRIENDS AGAIN!!!!!!!
