It's good to pray and work for revival. But do you know the difference between revival and revivalism? One builds on God's Word and then waits for God to work, like a farmer who sows. The other builds on God's Word as well as our methods, like a factory engineer determined to increase quotas. Revival and revivalism represent two ways of approaching ministry. The goal of this Journal is to help you distinguish one from the other.

9Marks
At 9Marks, we help pastors, future pastors, and church members see what a biblical church looks like, and help them take practical steps toward becoming one. We believe every local church should be characterized by expository preaching, biblical theology, a biblical understanding of the gospel and of conversion, biblical evangelism, church membership, church discipline, discipleship, and a biblical model of leadership. In order to inform and influence churches, 9Marks creates a wide variety of practical resources including books, articles, podcasts, book reviews, and a quarterly Journal. We also host regular events around the world—almost all of them geared toward equipping and encouraging pastors.
