Note:<\/strong> Because we have so many new people signing up with Lighthouse Trails every week, we thought we would post this letter of inquiry with our answer below.<\/p>\n

Hello Lighthouse Trails:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is\u00a0__________, and I just signed up for your monthly e-newsletter.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a Christian for over 25 years and am absolutely shocked at what is happening in the church today!<\/p>\n

I very much appreciate the articles written in Lighthouse Trails, and have found them factual and informative without any undertones of “offensive attack.”<\/p>\n

However, I don’t know anything at all about you personally. . . .<\/p>\n

Thanks and look forward to receiving the newsletters!<\/p>\n

May God continue to richly bless you in your work!<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n

___________<\/p>\n
