Al, I'm so glad I found your site. I didn't know what a substack was before. I'll be watching this. I need to figure out how to go back to read the 1st and 2nd articles you posted.
Ha! A year ago I didn't know what a substack was either. Susanna clued me in. Her favorite is C&C (Coffee & Covid) by Jeff Childers. On my site, you can go to 'archive' on top menu line and find everything I've written. Started in January, so once a week adds up. Also, if you just go to www.substack.com, you can search for whatever topics you might be interested in. I love the way I can find other authors on substack that write much more in depth than most media. I especially like the way we can use links to our sources, for those who really want to learn more.
Your perspective is so helpful on what is coming. I will treasure this particular article.
One thing I’d add as I’ve contemplated it: we need to make sure we are in a church that will not compromise in the coming years, and pray for our church to stand strong and to support one another if people are blacklisted, fired, or imprisoned. We need pastors preaching the truth regardless of the consequences and not being discouraged if the flock is pruned painfully as pressures to compromise get greater and greater. Personally I think the way a church handled Covid could be a litmus test to how they will handle future pressures.
Also how they handle origins and the first 11 chapters of Genesis! Makes it kind of clear who is trying to “fit in” with the cool kids.
This is where I feel a burden on my heart.
I’m becoming the Sunday school squeaky wheel about being a church prepared for persecution.

Good points! Keep squeaking
