ROLL TIDE!

 

Several thousand students gathered a few days ago for a planned worship event at Auburn University. The event expected about 2000 students to come, but twice that many came. Pastor Jonathan Pokluda of Harris Springs Baptist Church gave the main message and hundreds responded. At the end of the service, one young man expressed a desire to be baptized after having placed his faith in the Lord Jesus. A small commotion began, and at first the leaders did not know what was happening. As it became clear that the students were asking for a way to baptize this young man, they began to search for a place on campus that had enough water for an immersion. They then went to the Red Barn venue near by that had a lake. This was very late in the evening. Around 2000 students rushed to the lake, and after the young man was baptized, hundreds more began to request baptism. Pastor Jonathan quickly gathered the leaders together and instructed them to speak with each student who requested baptism, to ensure  that they truly had understood the Gospel, believed, and intended to follow Christ. What followed next was over 200 baptisms by Pastor Poklunda, assisted by the schools coaches, around midnight at the lake. Glory To God!

To see a thing such as this happen at a secular university is miraculous! I have always had an affinity for the University of Alabama (roll tide!), second only to the Georgia Bulldogs, and I always "pray" for the Crimson Tide to prevail.  Since this event happened at Auburn University, it does indeed show that God can show up anywhere, even Auburn lol! Maybe just maybe, when I have "prayed" for the Crimson Tide to prevail, God laughed and said "Of course it will". So on that night, the Crimson Tide of the blood of Jesus rolled into Auburn University, and prevailed. Satan lost at least 200 young people that night, the final score was Crimson Tide 200, Hell 0. ROLL TIDE!

"For Jesus shed his precious blood
rich blessings to bestow;
plunge now into the crimson flood
that washes bright as snow.                                                                                                                   (Only Trust Him, hymn)
