Remember this everyone, our pastors do not get to sit under preaching 3 times a week like we do. They may be listening to sermons, but they do not get to sit under direct preaching on a weekly basis as we do. Because of this, and because of the fact the devil always targets and tempts the godly leader, we do need to pray daily for those in leadership positions in the church. They minister to us from the pulpit...let us minister to them from our closets! <blockquote><em>But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6</em></blockquote> DebtFREEk! Great point Bob…

As it says in Hebrews, the Lord will shake everything until only his kingdom is left standing. Christian persecution will also shake out the people that are just playing church rather than followers of Christ who are ready to die for their faith. And that will lead to the collapse of churches filled with luke-warm Christians as they abandon their churches. Christian persecution is coming to America and America will need to respond.

My prayers have been with that church ever since I heard of it. It seems like this is becoming more and more a reality. Its a shame that we are now having to look at increased security including armed guards at many churches and yet that is what's happening. Our pastors need prayers constantly but even more now during these times. As a staff member in my church, I know and understand the burdens that my senior pastor takes on and I can see it taking a toll on him right now. I am thankful though that we serve an awesome God who hears and answers prayer and who looks out for His children. Thank you again for a great post. Bob, thank you and AMEN for this post.
