Today was a great day of worship and fellowship. The attendance was good, especially tonight. However, I long for a real move of God, which will move us to be all God wants us to be. I continue to pray that we will "humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord" so that "He will lift us up."

Deacons Meeting

The spirit in our deacon's meeting was memorable. We prayerfully discussed the ministry of our church. The men expressed great appreciation for the ministry of Boo White, the Youth Minister at FBC Leakesville. Boo and Missy are a blessing to our church.

Morning Service

As we began our Revival Services, we were blessed by Eric Smith and Gary Permenter. Eric sang two worshipful solos, "His Favorite Song of All" and "Crucified With Christ." Gary Preached a powerful message dealing with the healing of a blind man by Jesus. He asked us if we were desperate for a deeper relationship with God. There a big between being pleased if God moves in the lives of others and being desperate for God to do a transforming work in our lives.

After the service, we had a great church wide meal. There was plenty of food. A majority of folks stayed.

Evening Service

Eric sang "His Grace Still Amazes Me." This song really leads me to worship and express my gratitude to God for all he has done for me.

Gary challenged us to be completely sold out to Christ. He is such a great communicator. He uses insightful teaching and humor to really drive the truth of the scripture home. Tonight, he led us to imagine a young man getting married and two brides come down the aisle. It would be impossible for him to pledge his loyalty and faithfulness to only one, if he planed to be married to both. God cannot just be one of two masters. He must be LORD.
