“A Time to Repent.”

In the 60’s there was a great evangelist by the name of A.A. Allen. Bobby and I had heard about him and his great tent revivals! He preached one message I never forgot… “He, that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall be suddenly reproved, and that without remedy.” Proverbs 29:1

He preached with the “fire of God,” and not like most do nowadays. When he gave an altar call, he would never beg people to come and repent! He would usually count to five, or maybe less, and you knew you didn’t have time to say “no!”

As Joyce Meyer said, “We are preaching an anemic Gospel.” Everything is watered down so that we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings! I grew up with that “Gospel!” I pray to God that we return to “the old-time religion,” where people came to altar and the Spirit of God had such a great conviction, that even though you are a Christian, you almost felt as if you needed to head to altar again!
