Do You Believe?
One summer, a drought threatened the crop in a small town. On a hot and dry Sunday, the village parson told his congregation, "There isn't anything that will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come back next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain."
The people did as they were told and returned to church the following Sunday. But as soon as the parson saw them, he was furious.
"We can't worship today. You do not yet believe," he said.
"But," they protested, "we prayed, and we do believe."
"Believe?" he responded. "Then where are your umbrellas?"

As I sat in church and listened to the pastor talk about salvation, I realized it boils down to FAITH.
The only way to salvation is Jesus, but without faith you have nothing.
Did you know that Billy Graham states 80% of those who make salvation decisions in his crusades are already on a church role somewhere.
Once you're saved, you can't keep your daily walk with Christ without prayer.
