Church Revival Movement

Some 350 years ago, our faithful Reformed forefathers in Scotland took hold of the covenant of grace in their National Covenant, by this means fulfilling their duty and privilege as Christ’s witnessing church in the British Isles.

It seems a relatively safe assumption that anyone even remotely connected with the Church has heard of Advent. However, it is an equally safe assumption, unfortunately, that most people do not really understand what this season is about. Squeezed as it is in between various holidays in a “holiday season” that now seems to begin [...]

The “Advent Movement” was begun by William Miller (1782-1849). Members of this movement believed in a personal and premillennial second coming of Jesus Christ.
Miller based his theology upon a literal interpretation of apocalyptic passages in the Bible and attempted to calculate the date of the Second Coming by using such passages, particularly those found in [...]

Mr. Miller had converted from deism to Christianity in 1816 and became a Baptist. He was an avid reader, dedicated to God’s word, and sought to reconcile apparent biblical difficulties raised [...]

Hence, without biblical authority, they founded a new denomination that merely cluttered the landscape of prevailing religious confusion.
It must [...]
