Encourage the Exhausted

Today, I want to call my readers to action again.

If you’ve been reading here at all over the past month you know that I have put much attention to the Idaho Abortion Human Rights Act. I will continue to do so and even will in this post.

Today, however, I want to invite you to join me in sending a very short, I mean very short, email to John Green and Heather Scott. Like all of the legislators, they have been working hard. These two, while doing all their duties on every bill that comes before them have also been at war for the unborn like few are willing to do.

Earlier this week I traveled to Boise with Christopher Folkerts, Mickie Kelly, Billy Galloska, and Silas Thompson to visit with Rep. Harris, the chairman of the State Affairs Committee. This meeting was to assure him that pastors from across the state of Idaho are in favor of the Idaho Abortion Human Rights Act. Our meeting did not produce a favorable printing of the bill to the full committee. Hope must not be fixed on the fear of men. It is never lost on the fear of God.

But by the grace of God, we were able to meet Rep. Green and Rep. Scott for the first time. We were able to pray for them and encourage them that the church is ready and mobilized for ongoing action.

“Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.”

Isaiah 35:3)

Would you please write Rep. Green and Rep. Scott a very short email? (Do not expect a reply. It will be nearly impossible for them to reply to you.)

Representative John Green: jgreen@house.idaho.gov
Representative Heather Scott: hscott@house.idaho.gov

example of what I wrote them.

Representative Green,

It was my pleasure in Christ to pray for you today. Don’t quit the good fight for the glory of God.

Burning in the Soul

Burning in the Soul

Beginning January 7, 2018 on the first Lord’s Day evening of each month I have invited 12 pastors in the region to gather with us and preach what is burning in their soul.

If at all possible, I want you to attend all of these gatherings. You will meet pastors from as far south as St. George, UT to as far north as Cottonwood, ID. You will meet local pastors from Southern Baptist Churches and local pastors from other faithful bible preaching churches.

As fast as the nation has moved away from God, God has fortified a faithful post of biblical preachers in our day. These are only 12 of them. There are many others like them. I’ve said it many times, and I still say it today; “It is a good day to be the church.”

Here is the list of names and dates for the first half of the year.

We are in a day where the general population of the nation no longer looks at the preacher as a man of God.

When the man of God in our day mentions God in the marketplace he faces a dilemma. If he speaks, the listener may increase in his abuse of him, but if he doesn’t speak he has no inner peace.

The preachers in our day who obey the Lord are learning, like the prophet Jeremiah discovered; that God’s word is burning in his inner-man like a burning fire shut up in his bones.

In 2018, I have asked these preachers to not hold back from what is burning in their souls. Where the atmosphere of the spiritual landscape in our day and nation is different than Jeremiah’s, I want this church to hear what is Burning in the Soul of these men.

May God bless his preachers and may God bless His hungry people.
