Monday night was much warmer than the previous nights, at least at the beginning of the service.? My good friend, Aaron Willis,? from Marion, NC came up tonight which was a treat.? The choir started the service with the anthem, “My, My My”.? The choir sure sounded good tonight.? Bro. Greg Lentz sure does a great job with the choir.
A group from Indian Creek Baptist Church sang a couple of songs tonight.? They used 2 guitars for their music and I helped them out with my bass (I’ve played for every group that’s sang so far).? They did really good.? There has been some great, spiritual singing every night from the special singers.
Bro. Ralph preached an awesome message.? It was about God’s light saber (aka, Flaming Sword).? It was a convicting message to both the lost and Christian alike.? His message came from Job 36:17,18:
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke:
He talked about Christians mocking God.? Do you have those little things that you do, then you repent & ask forgiveness but then turnaround a few days later and commit those same sins again?? Bro. Ralph talked of how this is mocking God when we constantly ask for forgiveness and then really make no permanent change to our daily lives.? He talked how God will use his light saber to cut you off spiritually, or even physically (meaning, “You’re Dead!”), when He’s had enough of the mocking.?
He mentioned that if we wanted revival in 2008, that we have to stop living on the memory of the great revival that happened in 2006.? I think that really hit home for a lot of people.? God is still God, but every revival meeting has it’s own characteristics and you can’t compare what God is doing this year to how God blessed 2 years ago.?
There has really been an unusual stirring of the Spirit during the meetings.? I think God is working to clean up the lives of His people before revival can really break out.? There have been people saved every night.? They’ve not announced the number of conversions, but I’m guesstimating that it’s somewhere between 40-50 so far.? There were 22 alone last Friday night, so maybe my guess is low.? To God be the glory for it all!
Pray for my family tonight because we got scheduled to sing kind of last minute due to a death in the family of the singers that were scheduled.? Come out and see us if you can or tune in to the webcast here at 7:30:
