LCU fall revival runs through Thursday on campus

Nashville-area pastor Curtis “CZ” Zackery got real with  Louisiana Christian University students Tuesday, as he kicked off the  fall revival series in Revelation 3.

Zackery encouraged the audience to not get stuck in  reading Revelation or any scriptures as only guidance for the  future—rather what is it telling you about living your life now?

He referenced Rev. 3:1-3 and will continue through Rev. 3:1-13 Wednesday and  Thursday, at 11 a.m. in Guinn Auditorium. 

“What does what we’re reading mean for our lives right  now?” Zackery said. “It is a great mistake to think scriptures hold  meaning only for our life after this Earth. This letter to Sardis is  like shooting a signal flare. It’s a warning, a reminder to pay  attention to the condition of who we are right now.”

Zackery told students he understood the unique challenges  they face as students at a Christian university—like he himself was,  reminding them that the Lord knows both the outside actions and the  inside heart. 

He encouraged them to “wake up,” and not just make appearances of being a Christian.

“Our hidden life must be lived for God or our public life won’t bear fruit,” Zackery said, referencing a recent book he read. 

“Curtis Zackery is one of LCU’s favorite speakers,” said  President Dr. Rick Brewer. “We know from previous times of ministry CZ  will challenge all with the claims and power of The Gospel of Jesus  Christ. How blessed to serve at a university that makes it a priority to  provide thier campus with an extended time of spiritual renewal.”

Zackery, known as “CZ,” is the author of Soul Rest: Reclaim Your Life. Return to Sabbath. 

He has worked in ministry for more than 15 years,  delivering a gospel perspective that is raw, accessible and relevant to  college students and all audiences.

“I think CZ is a phenomenal speaker and when he comes  here, I love it every single time,” said journalism major Victoria  Watson, a junior from New Iberia. “It was a great choice for him to be  at revival because it will make more students want to hear the word of  God. “ 

Watson said having an opportunity for every student on  campus to learn more about Christ in a three-day setting strengthens the  university’s mission and students’ faith.

“He connected and identified with us,” said Noel  Schonhoff, sports media senior from Slidell. “He was a student at a  Christian university, too, and he was real about the struggles we face.” 

The public is invited and encouraged to attend the revival services.
