The Sawdust Trail

Have you ever heard the expression "Going down the sawdust trail"?  Back in the day, at old fashioned camp meetings, they would put saw dust as the ground covering under the tent where the meetings took place.  When someone walked the isle to get saved they were "going down the sawdust trail"!  Cute, huh?

Well, we attended a 5 night old-fashioned camp meeting revival recently by Victory Baptist Church.  And, they used sawdust as the ground covering!  They had boiled peanuts, incredible singing, powerful preaching and most of all...the Holy Spirit every night!  We looked forward to going every single day awaiting what God had for each of us there!

While God is on the throne and seeing as how He hasn't come to get His own as of yet, Believers will still assemble and God promised it would only take two or three for Him to be in our midst.  Folks, my God is faithful.  He was all over that place every night!  Wish everyone I know could have been there.  Thank God for people who still love the Lord and are passionate about having church!




This is Dr. Larry Brown, the Pastor of VBC

The man with the guitar is Pastor Barry Spears of a church in SC.

Pastor Spears, one of the many speakers, has an amazing testimony.  He was in a motorcycle gang in full rebellion addicted to drugs and alcohol.  When on deaths bed, he got saved, and then God called him to preach!  He now pastors a church in SC.  He was so free in Christ and when he shared all the details of his testimony you could hear a pin drop.  When God changes us His blood covers all! 

I also wanted to share a website from another speaker, Dr. Ed McAbee.  You can go to www.couragetocontinue.org to learn of his different ministries.  He is 83 years old in years, but sharper than a tack and an amazing speaker.
