John Fream, pastor of Cypress Baptist Church, Benton, spoke from Galatians 5:16–25 each day and encouraged students never to give up the fight between the spirit and the flesh. Elevate and Voices, LCU’s musical ensembles, led worship during each revival service. “It’s a battle every day for Christians,” Fream said. “You’re either going to be controlled by your flesh or controlled by the spirit of God.” Once a person receives Christ, Fream said, he or she is justified. That means the spirit of God lives within you. However, Christians must continue to seek out things of the spirit to become more like Jesus.
