Ben Virgo

God manifests himself to us in all his dreadful majesty and most terrible and strict justice, and yet we live; we are safe; God appears to us as a strict judge and terrible revenger of all sin, and yet as our Saviour and a fountain of life to us.

He has delivered, he does deliver, and in him I trust that he will yet deliver me.

We did a revival tour with @RememberLondon today and it was powerful! We visited where John Wesley preached, where one of my heroes, George Whitefield, preached and learned all sorts of facts surrounding revival in and around London over the last 500+ years. We ended up at the church where John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace, pastored. It was the thrill of a lifetime to sing Amazing Grace where John Newton preached for so many years. It was from his preaching and promptings that William Wilberforce got a vision to use politics to advance the cause of Christ and, eventually, abolish the slave trade. Ben Virgo did an outstanding job of unpacking the history of revival in this particular part of London. All of us were deeply moved by his outstanding storytelling, his understanding of revival, his knowledge of history and his passion for the simple gospel of Grace unleashed through ordinary people. If you are ever in London, you should definitely book a tour. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Rating

Sin is precisely Christlessness; all attempts at self-improvement and moral reformation without him are sin.
