Luke 10: 17—20 . . . 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name. 18 And Jesus said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
The disciples of Jesus returned from their mission with great joy because of their obvious success. However, Jesus reminded them that the only reason to truly rejoice is because your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. If you are saved, redeemed, that is the real reason torejoice.
This past week of revival meetings was, without question, a great success. We rejoice in the 37, yes, 37 people who were saved. We rejoice in that at least 17 of these redeemed folks will join F.B.C. by baptism. We rejoice in the wonderful Easter service we experienced yesterday with 12 baptisms and the observing of the Lord’s Supper. The music was great, the spirit was sweet, but the real reason to rejoice, according to Jesus, is because we are saved. Glory, what a wonderful thought, saved, redeemed, by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus.
As your pastor, Irejoice in your faithfulness to reserve this time to attend our meeting, and your faithfulness to work hard to have visitors at each service. Also, it was quiet obvious that you prayed for God’s Holy Spirit to move in this place. Each night decisions were made, many being professions of faith. God allowed us to witness His harvest of souls, and for that we do rejoice.
Glenda and I have another reason to rejoice, in that God has allowed us to serve Him here at F.B.C. for almost eight years. Each day gets sweeter and sweeter. Thanks for your faithfulness to . . .REACH UP TO JESUS . . . REACH OUT TO THE WORLD!!! Glenda and I love y’all.

Some say that musical instruments are not to be used in the New Testament church. It is true that musical instruments, other than the human voice, are not specifically mentioned in the New Testament. However, the word “psalms” is mentioned in Ephesians 5:19, and Col. 3:16. In the original Greek the word “psalmos” was defined as striking the chords of a musical instrument, such as a harp. We also know that instruments were a part of the early church. I’ve said this not to defend the use of instruments but to fully support the use of instruments and those who play them. We’ve just finished a great revival. Would each service have been as exciting had we chosen to exclude all music instruments. We have just observed a beautiful Easter Sunday Service. Would it still have been as beautiful had we chosen to exclude all our musical instruments? All our instrumentalists serve without pay. And, they are a most dependable group. Why do they serve? Are theymore obligated to duty than other members? They do not forsake their calling nor do I ever hear them complain about it. It is my observation that they “delight” in their duty. Do me a favor . . .just tell them occasionally how much you appreciate their efforts. That would be most pleasing!
RALI will have their cookout at Eva Beach on April 20; eat at 12:00, noon; burger, buns, and drinks provided. Bring trimmings.

Just Nick . . . He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Matthew 28:6
I hope that everyone had a great Easter weekend with their families and that you enjoy the beautiful weather that God had blessed us with. It truly was a great weekend for us as we visited Keri’s parents, went to a race in Nashville, and got the night off on Sunday. But I would say that one of the greatest parts of the weekend was to see those who accepted Jesus Christ as the boss of their lives get baptized on Sunday morning and then taking communion with my brothers and sisters in Christ.God has blessed our church with a great harvest during our revival last week and to see the fruits of that harvest was truly a blessing.Our God is a great and glorious God like no other, simply because of this one fact. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” No other god can say that.
