High School Bible Hidden In The Bushes
- Greg Laurie described receiving a suede, fur-covered Bible at school and hiding it in the bushes to avoid ridicule.
- The Bible was found by a friend's mom, forcing him to reveal his new faith and giving his first awkward chance to share the gospel.
Revival Needs Scripture Not Spectacle
- Acts 2 shows revival is validated by Scripture, not merely by supernatural signs.
- After Pentecost the early church dug into the apostles' doctrine instead of chasing novelty or uncontrolled emotionalism.
Evaluate Spiritual Phenomena With Scripture
- Test supernatural experiences against Scripture; prefer biblical continuity over novelty.
- Laurie warns that 'if it's new, it's not true' and urges biblical evaluation of revival phenomena.
