Global Revival or Global Deception?—10 Critical Warnings From the Titanic to the Church

by Warren B. Smith (NewAgeToAmazingGrace.com)

Who doesn’t want true revival—one filled with godly sorrow, heartfelt repentance, and powerfully met with God’s forgiveness, mercy, and amazing grace? But the word true is key. The revival must not be unduly influenced by our spiritual Adversary for his own deceptive purposes. True revival must be genuinely God-given and inspired by our One True God and His One True Holy Spirit.

Before its sinking, the RMS Titanic was thought to be “invincible” and “unsinkable” and was viewed with widespread confidence and positive regard. People felt they would be safe on that big and mighty ship. What could possibly go wrong? Today, revival is seen in much the same way. It brings up similar notions of invincibility, “unsinkability,” and positive regard. People feel safe when they are part of an extensive and mighty revival. What could possibly go wrong? And it is in this light that the Titanic can serve as an example to the church today. This booklet contains ten critical warnings as the church longs for revival yet moves into dangerous waters.
