General Thoughts

It is hard to believe that there are only two evenings left of this 65th Anniversary Revival week at Grace.  God has tremendously used the preaching to speak to many of the members here.  If you are reading this and have been in attendance at the services, what has God spoken to you about during this week?  Take time to meditate about how the Lord has worked in your heart.

This Evening

This evening was different in a way that is hard to explain.  The Lord exceeded expectations in many areas.  The evening began with a small dinner at 6:15.  Following that the service began at 7:00 PM.  The music was glorifying to God as was the message.  The message was out of II Samuel 3, where the Word of God speaks of the lamp of God going out in the temple.  If our local church is to continue to have the light of God here:

• We must continue to proclaim the Bible.
• Brotherhood (brotherly love) must be practiced!
• A burden must be pronounced!  We must have a burden.

At the conclusion of the service the altars were once again full.  What a wonderful thing when God moves within the heart of the His people. 

The Chief End

In truth, the chief end and object of all of these meetings is that God would be glorified.  We desire revival in our hearts, but why is this?  The reason is that ultimately God would be glorified.  We desire souls to be saved, but why?  The reason is that ultimately God would receive all of the honour and glory.

Tonight, one of the families who was involved in the tutoring ministry joined us for the services.  They were recognized with a certificate and gift at the conclusion.  Praise the Lord!

In addition, Mrs. Collins brought 11 visitors to win the special gift.  Praise God!

Looking Ahead:

Thursday night, the emphasis is on the Sunday school classes.  We are asking that each Sunday school have maximum participation, primarily through prayers and attendance.
