Revival is for Christians. Christians need revived from time to time. We get so wrapped up in ourselves that we forget our first love...Jesus! When that happens we start living for ourselves instead of living for Jesus.
Revival is not for the lost. You cannot revive someone who is dead. Lost sinners are dead in trespasses and sins. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death....." And unless God does something, you remain dead. Speaking to the Christians in the church at Ephesus, Paul said in Ephesians 2:1, "And you He made alive, who WERE dead in trespasses and sins." God makes us alive. That is when we realize we are sinners, hopeless and helpless, and repent of our sins and turn to Jesus for salvation. Thank You, God!
Today, after the preaching, we gathered in the Fellowship Hall for a soup lunch. After we got lunch cleaned up we came home and waited to hear from Bobby and Joy because we had plans to ride to Liberty, NC, about 45 minutes away. Our purpose for going there was to see the oldest Baptist church in America, Sandy Creek Baptist Church. You can read about it HERE.

Slave balcony (?)
The Primitive Baptists still have services here once a month.

The stairs up to the balcony area were VERY narrow!
And straight up!
Monuments giving the history.
We stopped at Ruby Tuesday in Thomasville for supper.
We got home at 7:55. Mark and I played cards on the deck
since the evening had cooled down nicely after a hot day!
Asher only likes being on the porch for a little while,
especially if he can't sit in your lap!
We had a visitor.
Thank You, Lord, for a good week!
