Charles Finney addresses the dangers of false revivals, emphasizing that true religion is characterized by love rather than bitterness and zeal without compassion. He warns that many supposed revivals are marked by a spirit of fanaticism, leading to fault-finding and a lack of genuine Christian love among both supporters and opponents. Finney encourages ministers to be vigilant against this spirit, advocating for a gentle and loving approach to correction and guidance. He highlights the need for discernment in recognizing true revivals and the importance of maintaining a spirit of unity and love within the church. Ultimately, he calls for a balance between fervent evangelism and the gentle spirit of Christ.
