4 Pillars of the CSCE
“But You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
Four great issues have been impressed on my heart repeatedly by the Spirit of God over the last ten
years. They are Witness, Evangelism, Revival, and Holiness. These I believe in:
Witness
Since one cannot believe unless they hear and cannot hear unless someone tells them (Romans 10:14), it is the privilege and responsibility of each Christian to share with others what Christ has done in his or her life (Acts 1:8).
Evangelism
Since the Biblical meaning of evangelize is to “tell Good News,” both as individual
Christians and preachers, we must share the facts of the Gospel and seek to persuade people to accept
Christ, as Peter in Acts 2:38 and Paul in II Corinthians 5:11, 20

Revival
Since it is a human characteristic to need renewal in all realms of life - physical, mental, social, and spiritual, it is the responsibility of the church to promote revivals - a concentrated series of Gospel meetings to call people to commitment. In addition, prayer is to be made for revival as a great spiritual movement that will sweep large numbers of people into the Kingdom, as in Acts 4:4, the Hebrides Revival (1949-52), and the Asbury Awakening (1970).
Holiness
Since there is a deeper level of Christian life beyond the new birth, we must endeavor to lead people into the Spirit-filled and Spirit-led life (Galatians 5:25), which begins with entire sanctification (I Thessalonians 5:23-24 and I Peter 1:2) and grows in grace to a life of rich fulfillment and adventure for God (II Peter 3:18).
