As my three readers know, I have recently paid a price for my stand on the issue of the Emergent heresy. I have to say here and now, I'm not a bit sorry. In fact, I cannot think of a time that God has been closer to me than He is right now. There is a transforming power in persecution. It changes you when you weigh the price you will likely pay for speaking the truth against speaking the truth and make the right choice. God has worked in miraculous ways that I will not bore you with, but the testimony of this Christian is this: He's worth it.
Don't shrink. You won't be sorry. Go for it. Do it. They hated Him. They'll hate you. So? It only makes life sweeter, because you'll have a clear conscience, but mostly because God will be so close you'll feel His breath on your neck. There's a joyful sweetness I never had before. I've never shed so many tears over biblical things and sin in the church. I cannot stop thinking of the lost. I fight back the tears as I write this to you. God is good. Praise His Holy Name forever.
In the Captain of our suffering,
Phil Perkins. PS--If you guys read this tonight or tomorrow, pray. I'm going out street preaching for the first time tomorrow. I know just where I want to go and will give a report Sunday or Monday.

Phil,
I''m not sure if you're familiar with Ray Comfort's ministry..Livingwaters.com..but they are a great resource for reaching the lost. They have free downloads and videos you can watch. I actually got to meet him and Todd Friel at their ministry headquarters about a year ago.
I'll be praying for you as you "GO!" 2Tim 4:2! 'Preach the WORD!!!
God's blessings upon you Phil!
Eddie
