Morning Thought: A fresh revival is breaking out at Asbury College, a Christian university in Kentucky with a rich history of revivals since the early 1900s. The most significant one was in the 1970s. The good news is it’s happening again. There’s no slick sanctuary or flashy screens. There are no smoke machines to set the mood or amazing cameras to capture the scene—nothing planned or manipulated. Instead, God has chosen a humble and hungry people longing for God.

The center of the fire looked like glowing metal” (Eze. 1:4).
