Charles Finney discusses the necessity of adopting new measures to promote revivals in the church, emphasizing that God has not established a fixed system of worship under the gospel. He argues that the church must be flexible and innovative in its approach to ministry, as many traditional practices have evolved over time and were once considered innovations themselves. Finney highlights the importance of adapting to the needs of the congregation and the world, asserting that the church must not cling to outdated forms that hinder the spread of the gospel. He encourages ministers to embrace new methods, such as anxious meetings and protracted meetings, to effectively reach and engage the community. Ultimately, Finney calls for a revival of spirit and action within the church, free from the constraints of rigid traditions.
