Pastor Tim Fluty of the Garrison Creek Baptist Church near Connersville, Indiana
The brief Text Message arrived late last night. From the Pastor where I preached last week in Revival Meeting … near the city of Connersville, Indiana.
It briefly read: “Three souls saved this morning. Revival fires still burning!”
Needless to say, my heart was thrilled.
I am reminded of Paul’s divinely inspired words in Romans 10:13. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Or the answer to that ages old question (“What must I do to be saved?”) as recorded in Acts 16:31. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Or, maybe better yet, Jesus’ Words in John 5:24. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
The “key” word in each of the cited Verses involves FAITH.
Here’s an even fuller statement, set of instructions: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
It encourages me just knowing that God worked again yesterday (as He does every day) saving souls and encouraging His people.
Hallelujah!
Oh yes, “TO GOD BE THE GLORY!”

By the way, here’s maybe the most important question you will ever be asked … ARE YOU SAVED?
