1. Revivalism has failed. It fails because it steers us away from what God wants and towards ourselves--our emotions and felt needs.
2. Revivalist techniques, emphases and content need to be self-consciously avoided, and that which revivalism displaced should be embraced and emphasized in our worship.
3. This is not to manipulate people but to reorient our worship toward what God says He wants.
4. This will bring reform to the Church.
5. This in turn will reform the culture.
6. It will be opposed even from unlikely sources.
7. Because it is what God says He wants, it will happen, after us if not with us. This should encourage us in the face of resistance.
