Revival!

This week is our church's annual tabernacle revival. It is one of my favorite times of the year because it is almost like a time warp. Back in the day, believers met outdoors in tents and tabernacles. The outdoor meeting feels much more like a family gathering, and I love that.

There are folks who take hours setting up for the meetings, and then these very same people are the ones who clean everything up. Some of the most beautiful service to the Lord and His church is done by folks like this, who could care less if they ever get any recognition on earth, but are truly seeking to be a blessing to the people, and a servant of the Lord.

The preaching is powerful. There is something about hearing the word of God outside in the midst of His creation that makes it so vivid. Dr. Hamblin is always in tune with the needs of our church, and always brings us what the Lord would have for us to hear.

If you are ever privileged to attend a tabernacle meeting, go. Sit in the front, and take it all in. There are so many blessings for us, if we would only take the time to appreciate them.
