Charles Finney the Great Revivalist
Charles Grandison Finny was born in Connecticut on august 29, 1792. His family was not religious and didnââ¬â¢t teach him much about being Christian. He was an excellent student in school. When he grew up he was a lawyer. He heard enough about the bible to know he wasnââ¬â¢t going to heaven that scared him. So one day he ran in the woods and said if he didnââ¬â¢t find God he wasnââ¬â¢t coming back. When he came out of the woods he felt the love of God. He wanted to be Godââ¬â¢s lawyer.He met with his client and said he had to quit the case and to go be Godââ¬â¢s lawyer. He was really blunt when teaching about God he was more like a lawyer than a pastor. When he started preaching he noticed that people where just pretending to be Christians and really werenââ¬â¢t living as Christians. He told them the truth about Christianity and challenged them to be real Christians. Finney preached firmly in a way that people had never heard before and at first people didnââ¬â ¢t like him or his way of preaching.He continued to challenge them to be the way god wants them to be and after a while they began to understand him and his way of preaching. Finney had a great impact on people of his time. Charles Finney proves that when you believe in something strong enough anything is possible. Finney proved that by finding God and convincing people to change their ways even when they didnââ¬â¢t like him. If more people in the world where like Finney everyone would be able to stand up for what they think is right and the world would be a better place.
