Come Down, Lord! is a succinct,
readable and biblically-based treatment
of the vital theme of revival. Its
seven short chapters go directly to the
heart of the matter, as their headings
indicate:
- We miss You;
- We need You;
- We wait for You;
- We will meet You;
- We have wronged You;
- We belong to You;
- We beseech You.
Taking as his starting place the
widespread absence of the sense of
God's holy presence and our need of his
grace, Roger Ellsworth traces the
profound analysis of the church's
spiritual decay outlined in Isaiah 63:3-
64:12, and applies its message to our
times.
"We have heard for years that if we do
not repent of our sins, God will send
judgment upon us. We may think we are
getting by with sin because things do
not appear to be so bad. What most of
us do not realize is God's judgment has
already set in. Our apathy about
spiritual things is God's judgment upon
us."
While calculated to expose our
spiritual need, Come Down, Lord! will
also stimulate repentance, prayer and
fresh faith in the promised mercy of
God.
This revised edition contains questions
for discussion at the end of each
chapter.
