To Lighthouse Trails:
I just read your article titled: “An Open Letter to Christian Leaders: Please Tell Us Where We Are Wrong.” Just wanted to drop a note to encourage you and to let you know that I appreciate your ministry very much. I have come to trust the information you provide and have read many of the books available at your website and found them very helpful. Please don’t be discouraged by the criticisms. Just keep doing what the Lord has called you to do. Though some will continue to criticize, many are being helped. Most of what I have learned about contemplative, I have learned from your website and from the books that I purchased.
I suppose some thought it was unthinkable to question a Bible teacher of the stature of John MacArthur (one of my favorite preachers). But even he can be guilty of an oversight that could give people the wrong impression. You were right. That sermon from years ago should no longer be available at his website if it contains any positive reference to a man like Dallas Willard. Instead of being upset, people should be grateful that it was pointed out so the correction can be made.
Though I can’t give much in the way of financial help, I do keep your ministry in my prayers often and pray God’s protection over you. May God bless you for all you are doing and for your faithfulness in the midst of the attacks. Lighthouse Trails is a very helpful and important ministry and may it continue to be a light in a dark world until Jesus returns.
God bless you! R
