Bible
Read Ephesians 3:14-21.
"The greatest need of today is spiritual renewal. Both individual Christians and whole churches need to be continuously filled with the Spirit.
We live in a precarious world, tottering on the edge of an appalling precipice of disaster. Quite apart from the ever-increasing threat of terrorism, massive starvation and intensified violence, relationships at every level are falling apart. Only the Spirit of God can change the heart of people and create a revolution of love in our society.
The crisis of the church today is not primarily doctrinal or moral — serious as these are. Above all we face a crisis of powerlessness. Nothing less than the power of God can save the church from spiritual death and the world from total destruction. We need, more than anything else, spiritual renewal."

David Watson wrote this over 40 years ago. How much of this still rings true today? If it is true, what do we need to do about this?
