Ezekiel 20:9 (ESV) But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, ....
When we desire revival and reformation, what do we really want to happen? Why do we want it? This passage from Ezekiel declares what the heart of revival ought to be. God acting for His name's sake. God acting that His name no longer be profaned among the nations.
As I ponder the current landscape of the thing that is calling itself the church. (Most of which is far from it!), all I see is God's name being profaned. People declaring wrong to be right in the name of God. Unspeakable practices being endorse by bodies claiming to be part of Christ. Churches that have long abandoned the great tenants of the Reformation.
We are in need of a new Reformation. Let us cry out to God that He act for His name sake. Let us cry out to God that His name no longer be profaned among the nations and in our nation. This is going to be the theme of my sermon this Sunday. Let us stand up and be jealous for God's glory and His name.
