Georgia Baptist Spring Event

Mom, Barbara and I just got back from the Georgia Baptist Spring event in Callaway Gardens. The key note speakers  were Shaun Pillay from Africa; Tom and Kim Blackaby of Experiencing God and Billy Grahams daughter, Anne Graham Lotz.  We enjoyed the praise and worship with Cindy Johnson.  We choose classes from a long list. The first on Love, the second on prayer of  and the third on thriving on the Word. They were  great classes with very special leaders.

Weeks ago, I read a 1950 book about Billy Graham early Revivals that  included six of his sermons.  The first sermon topic was, "We need revival".  This weekend, his daughter  Anne spoke on the seven churches in Revelation and on  2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name.......She stated that  Revival of the church begins by drawing a circle around our self  and making  sure that  all is right in that circle.  She said that we need to allow the light of His word reveal what He sees. Then we will name it, claim, and confess it.  The key to Revival is repentance .  Sunday afternoon,  I saw Franklin Graham on T.V. preaching a sermon.  Here we are 60 years later and Billy Graham's adult  children are still  serving the Lord and bringing Revival  to the world. What a legacy.
