2020-08-0649 minRevived ThoughtsWilliam Muir: A Minister's DutiesWilliam Muir died a young man, almost completely obscure and never known. But his church loved him and collected his works. There's only one sermon that he ever preached as an ordained minister. This is that sermon come back to life.
This sermon, "A Minister's Duties," comes from a man who was ill and never knew if he'd even get to fulfill his duties. But he knew, from the bottom of his heart, what it was he felt called to do for God's Kingdom. This sermon should encourage all who spend time in ministry and even those who do not.

2020-05-2148 minRevived ThoughtsRobert Murray M'Cheyne: Do What You CanRobert Murray M'Cheyne was a minister in Scotland from 1835-1843. Despite only serving for a handful of years his life made a huge impact. From his trip to Jerusalem to his Bible reading plan this 29 year old left a mark on history.
His sermon, "Do What You Can," reminds us that our time is short and we are to spend our years on Earth doing what we can for God. What makes it especially challenging is that it comes from a man who was only 29 when he died and he spent his time on Earth "Doing all that he could."

2020-05-0732 minRevived ThoughtsC. I. Scofield: Deity Of ChristC.I. Scofield is a controversial and famous preacher who lived in the 1800s. His life story starts out very rough as a confederate soldier, a corrupt lawyer, and an alcoholic who destroys his own private practice and his family. His story changes completely when a friend tells him about Christ.
His sermon, "The Deity Of Christ," comes across as one part apologetic work and another part invitation to meet the same history changing Christ that Scofield met. It is a passionate defense of the person of Christ, whom our faith rests on.

After the brutal English Civil War he would be persecuted for his faith but he never caved in his desire to preach Jesus Christ.

He is known for his "affectionate theology" and his elegant words on one's relationship with Christ. He was a member of the church of England but would get in trouble at times for his ties to the puritans.
His sermon, "I Am My Beloved, And My Beloved Is Mine," takes Song Of Solomon allegorically and puts Christ in the place of Solomon and the woman as the church. He then uses this relationship to describe our current relationship with Christ as we wait for Christ to come back.

Revived ThoughtsRT Selects - Hudson Taylor: The Source of PowerHudson Taylor is one of the most famous missionaries in human history. The mission he led to China changed the Chinese church forever, leading to thousands converted in his time and the creation of a mission agency that is still around today, Overseas Mission Fellowship. He took the revolutionary route of not forcing western culture on the people he was trying to reach out to, but to adopt the customs that were not against God's word such as hair styles and dress. This helped change the mission field forever as missionaries became less cultural missionaries and more Gospel missionaries.
