Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is a story that still makes its rounds in my hometown. Almost a half century has passed since the days The Reverend Jones (not his real name) came faithfully to our local national guard armory and conducted revival services for up to two weeks, several times a year. One thing is certain; he generated a lot of interest. He was not sponsored by the local ministerial association or by a particular church. He claimed no denominational ties. His message was that the Body of Christ should come together to worship God. I was a teenager those years. I remember attending some of the services.
