New Foundations

We are self-consciously attempting to lay new intellectual foundations for a comprehensive moral and therefore intellectual, social, political, and economic transformation of the world. Not until at least the preliminary steps in this theological and intellectual transformation are accomplished can we expect God to send worldwide revival. If the coming revival is not comprehensive in its effects, it will no more change the world permanently than earlier revivals have changed it permanently. The regeneration of people’s souls is only the first step on the road to comprehensive redemption….. We need a comprehensive revival that will produce comprehensive redemption.

We must understand from the beginning that the message of the kingdom of God rests on a concept of salvation which is supernaturally imparted, not political y imparted. The kingdom of God is categorically not a narrow political program of social transformation; it is rather a supernaturally imposed salvational program that inevitably produces world-changing political, social, legal, and economic effects.
The primary need, today as always, is the need for widespread personal repentance before God. We therefore need a Holy Spirit initiated Christian revival to extend the kingdom of God across the face of the earth.
