Eternity!

Last night Corey, Kyle and I went to Spring Hills Baptist Church (SHBC) to watch their production of "Eternity". This play portrays what it will be like when we die and go to Heaven to be judged. There were 5 different scenes with people at various stages in life who have died and now must face the judgment. (We saw something similar when we lived in Jackson, TN, but it was called Heavens Gates, Hell's Flames).

This was a very powerful and emotional hour with joyous moments of those who get to meet Jesus because their name is written in the Book of Life, but tragic for those whose name is not there. Satan jumps out of a pit in the floor and has his demons drag the person to the fiery pit and throw then in, screaming.

To show you the power of this show, SHBC has extended the number of shows until next Sunday, last night was supposed to be the last night. Also, this was the 1st church service I have ever been to where they asked people to leave! There were so many people wanting to attend, that Pastor Pound asked anybody who has already seen the show or who could come back another night to give up their seat because there were 100 more people outside wanting in!

Before last night about a 150 people had accepted Christ as their Savior, with at least another 20 to 30 going forward last night.

PRAY for those who were moved by the play, but did not respond.
PRAY that they have the courage to make the commitment to repent of their sins.
PRAY that they make Jesus the Lord of their lives
PRAY for the cast and crew, I know they are getting tired (Jeremiah is portraying Jesus)
PRAY that people take their unsaved family and friends

You will leave changed
