On June 2, 2020, Pastor Bai Yu'e shared about the revival of the church in a live broadcast platform called “Bright Thinking.” He shared that revival could be achieved by listening and doing, loving one another, and glorifying God while serving others.
1. Listening and doing
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (Acts 2:41-42)
The revival of the church meant that every brother and sister could listen to the Word and do what it said, just like the apostles who served in Jerusalem.
Listening to the word produces confidence and faith. The basic principle of church revival is listening and doing. The soul is nourished by walking in God’s will.
2. Love one another
They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. (Acts 2:45-46)
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They expressed their love to each other by being together. The one who loves us will also stay with us. Jesus was willing to be with us, and His name was Immanuel, which meant “God with us”. Therefore, no matter where you are, when church’s reopened, everyone needed to go back “home” and be with each other.
Loving one another was also the new commandment that Jesus gave us. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ”(John 13:34) Wherever love is, this is where God is. This is the reason why the church is not a building, but a group of people who love the Lord.
3. Glorify God and benefit people
Christians are to praise God and enjoy the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:47)
The revival of the church required every brother and sister to glorify God. As long as brothers and sisters have needs, they should pray together. Sometimes we might not know what to do, but when we seek Him, He will give us wisdom.
The responsibility of a church that has been revived doesn’t depend on one person, it depends on all of us. Love the Lord, care for one another, show more compassion, give more comfort, and don’t be selfish. Don’t live in your own world, but see the needs of others, and do your best to help, this is what gives meaning to our lives.

牧者直播分享：如何才能实现教会复兴？
6月2日，白玉娥牧师在直播平台亮光思维中进行了主题为教会复兴的专题分享，认为教会的复兴至少要从三个方面来实现。
一、 信徒们听道、行道
于是领受他话的人就受了洗。那一天，门徒约添了三千人，都恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此交接，擘饼，祈祷。(使徒行传 2:41-42)
教会复兴，就是教会里的每一位弟兄、姊妹能听道又能行道，就像使徒们当年在耶路撒冷服侍。
人听道才能产生信心，信道是从听到来的，所以我们必须听信才能够领受。在我们今天教会的服侍中，一定知道教会复兴的基本原则，就是听道而行道。做好心灵的准备，听道是为了行道，行道也要努力的听道才能行在主的旨意当中。
二、 彼此相爱
并且卖了田产、家业，照各人所需用的分给各人。他们天天同心合意恒切地在殿里，且在家中擘饼，存着欢喜、诚实的心用饭，(使徒行传 2:45-46)
信的人都在一处，凡物公用。这是一种彼此相爱的生活方式，在一处就是爱的表现。爱着你才会和你在一起。耶稣愿意和你在一起，他的名称为以马内利，翻译出来就是神与我们同在的意思。所以不管你现在在哪里，教会开门的时候，一定要回家，和大家同在一处。
彼此相爱，这也是耶稣赐给我们的新命令。他说，我赐给你们一条新命令，乃是叫你们彼此相爱；我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样相爱。(约翰福音 13:34)爱在哪里，神在哪里。所以教会不是建筑物，它是一群爱主的人。
三、 神得荣耀，人得益处
赞美神，得众民的喜爱。主将得救的人天天加给他们。(使徒行传 2:47 )
教会复兴需要教会里每一个弟兄姊妹能够荣耀神。只要弟兄姊妹有需求，我们一起祷告。可能有的时候我们也不知道从什么地方下手，我们就来寻求神，神就给我们智慧去解决。
同时让我们荣耀神也让人得益处。教会复兴，不是一个人是我们所有的人，责任在我们当中。只要我们每天爱主多一点点，关怀多一点点，怜悯多一点点，体恤做一点点，安慰多一点点，不要自私，不要活在自己的世界里，看到别人的需要，尽我们所能去帮助别人，这就是我们生活的价值。
