Tent Revival – Bertram, Texas

Have you ever attended a church service held under a tent? I had the pleasure of being able to attend as well as document such a service, here are some images from that tent service held in Bertram, Texas in the Summer of 2006. The day was bright, sunny, breezy & beautiful. On this day the Lord surely looked down upon the small town of Bertram and touched the hearts of those in attendance.

Praise…

Pastors exhortation

The word of God…

Prayer…

Anointing Oil…

& heartfelt worship.

I love documenting baptisms, Jesus Christ teaches us in the book of John that a person must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. See John 3:1-12 & Acts 2:38-41, being born again is also called the “new birth” a spiritual awakening so to speak. Part of that commandment is to be born of water, baptism fulfills that requirement.

You may ask why is this required? Why did Jesus leave such a commandment? Simply put, he requires obedience. Some people say that this is not so but we’ll discuss that at a later time. Suffice it to say that if you trust Jesus than you have faith in Jesus, if you trust & put faith in Jesus than it only makes sense to obey Jesus. If you don’t obey Him, than there is something wrong in your Christian walk & you have to re-evaluate yourself & your walk with Jesus Christ.

If I remember correctly this lady received a 2nd chance at life, she received an organ transplant after another person died. Sometimes people see their own mortality when they experience life’s trials, I suspect that in some way’s that may be a good thing but for most people a 2nd chance never comes. On this day she wanted to make sure her eternal destiny was fully secured.

What are you doing to make your calling & election sure?
