Mercy and Revival

August 20th, 200901:19 PM ET

By Dale Garris

"Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy." (Prov. 20:28) If there is any one message that can be deemed the most important of all, it is the message of mercy. The Apostle Paul wrote that charity is even more important than faith and hope, the two pillars that our salvation rest upon. It is no...

"Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? Are they restrained? ... O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine in...
Send Me

We’re heading home tonight. I’m sitting here at my hotel in Nairobi, looking out the window and wondering if I will ever be back again. I go through this almost every time. It’s a bittersweet feeling leaving this place. I am worn out and spent after dozens of services in a score of little churches throughout Kenya, but exhilar...
Drought amongst the Maasai

August 01st, 200903:04 PM ET

By Dale Garris

It's been three years since it has rained in Namanga, and it is so dry that the air is full of dust. We are in the south of Kenya with the Masaai, a tribe of strange dress and stranger customs. They are known for the way they mutilate their ear lobes and for their fearlessness in fighting lions. They are also very clannish, and ...
She Shall Be Saved in Childbearing

Revival is coming to Kenya. It isn't just something that's in the air; it's in their hearts. I listened to a lady from the U.S. as she told me how great the praise and worship services were in Kenya. It's not the praise and worship that gets me excited -- it's the altar calls. In church after church, I have presented a message of re...

It's Day One of my 7th trip to Kenya. Just as each person you meet has a different personality, so does each trip I make here. Unlike other trips to Africa, I have not had a lot of excitement or drive this time. I actually wondered if I was going flat like a Coke that has been left out too long - still tastes like Coke, but hav...

** This is the introduction to the booklet, "Four Steps to Revival", which is due to be released by July 1st. Introduction I am writing out this message of the Four Steps to Revival because I believe that it is the best hope for a solution to the deep spiritual problems that face our world.

By the Precept of Men

By Dale Garris

"Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom o...
Ol' Bill Done Woke Up!

May 31st, 200901:08 AM ET

By Dale Garris

Well, ol' Bill finally woke up. Ol' Bill comes to our little fellowship in the Pizza place in Maypearl. His son-in-law, Harry, is the pastor there - I say pastor, but it's just a little fellowship where a handful us gather on Sunday morning to praise the Lord and share the Word. I don't know if most folks would consider it church 'cause there's ...
Something is wrong with the Church

May 04th, 200901:23 PM ET

By Dale Garris

Something is wrong in the Church today. I don't say that lightly, or as someone who thrives on criticizing everyone else so as to establish my own spiritual superiority, or as someone who is feeding on sour grapes because things aren't the way I would like them. I say it because of how many people I meet on a daily basis who are discouraged by tr...
