I have just returned to the hotel from the first session of the 2008 Southern Baptist Convention Pastor's Conference. I am fortunate enough to be in Indianapolis for my primary job during the convention. I made plans to spend today at the convention center and I was able to sit through a screening of the new movie "Fireproof" produced by the same church that produced the movie "Facing the Giants," Sherwood Baptist Church of Albany, Ga. I also attended the first session of the Pastor's Conference entitled "Prepare for Rain" also sponsored by Sherwood Baptist Church.
This was my first experience at the Southern Baptist convention and if I can be honest, my spirit has not felt this way in some time. It is a joy to see a people come together and worship the one true God in a place such as this. My soul worshipped as I witnessed wonderful music and Divine messages from three Godly men; Dr. Johnny Hunt, Dr. Daniel Simmons, and Dr. Tom Elliff. My prayer is that my heart may begin to experience revival and be prepared for that time when God himself chooses to send that revival our way. We are in such desperate need of revival Lord!
I will not have the opportunity to experience much more of the convention and conference, but I do hope to witness more of it this week. I will post again if I get the opportunity. I am looking forward to returning home to share the passion and spirit that this convention has placed within my heart so far.
