The Fires of Revival - Letter 2 - Charles Finney
LETTER II
UNHEALTHY REVIVAL EXCITEMENT
Another error, which has prevailed to a considerable extent in promoting revivals of religion, I apprehend, is that of encouraging an unhealthy degree of excitement. Some degree of excitement is inevitable. The truths that must be seen and duly appreciated to induce the sinner to turn to God, will of necessity produce [...]
Sermons on Revival - Finneys Letters on Revival
