I enjoy your blogs, Eric. Not only can I go to my home church, but I can also go to your blogs. Your writing style is great and your topics are interesting. It’s important to see how you think through and tackle different issues either pertinent to your church, or our culture in general. I think it’s good for your flock to see how the shepherd is thinking. And you can express yourself in ways that you can’t or don’t on a Sunday morning. If it becomes a burden, don’t do it. But, I would encourage you to keep it up! You never know who in the world is reading it and being blessed.

Well, I love this blog. Since I grew up hearing only one perspective (the uber-conservative one), it’s very refreshing to hear a slightly different slant on the world from someone unafraid to tackle the tough topics. In my old church, they were simply ignored. Thanks for taking the time every week to do this!

Above all, we need to diligently seek the face of God. We must come to Him on His terms. This requires discipline: fasting and prayer. Think it not a strange thing to give up hours (yes, hours) of sleep for concentrated prayer or expect to have freedoms removed and reactively pray in concentration camps.
Every 501.C.3 organization will be coerced by the government to allow equal access to the pulpits and marry homosexual couples or forfeit tax exempt status and pay back taxes (which is happening to a church in Colchester). The government is on the verge of being overwhelmingly militant against the Church. I received a letter from an anti – Christ, anti – 2nd amendment politician who gleefully expressed an impending majority in both houses and announced that there will be nothing they won’t be able to do. According to past voting records, the 2nd amendment and 1st amendment will be abolished. Late term abortion will be the norm. Homo sexual marriages will be legal in all states. The list continues. Certainly, you are aware of impending antagonism against righteousness and the Christian faith upon which some folks’ ancestors paid for with their faith, prayers and blood.
We have been instructed to pray for those in authority over us. I suggest any pastor should have greater authority in heaven and earth than all the politicians for whom we must pray. Pastors must now pray as Martin Luther, John Wesley or Jonathan Edwards, with no exemption. The Churches must seek the face of God as never before no longer seeking religious pleasure but recognizing the battle for the souls of men. Folks, the heat is turned against us. We must seek God to move His hand for the salvation of men and the victory of the Church.
Give up sleep, bask in the presence of God daily and a day of fasting every week. Enjoy!
