I too am very appreciative of what you have contributed to Defending Contending. Making such a decision takes much time in thoughtful prayer and I too praise the Lord for your willingness to stand in the gap with the other contributors here.

We would all do well to consider our own situations on a more regular basis when we learn of a good brother who has laid down the blogging pen. As The Pilgrim has said, we must “be obedient to whatever He calls us to, and let us remain faithful to Him whom we serve in whatever capacity He has us.”

You will definitely be missed here, but at least we can keep in contact through our emails and you have my phone number so feel free to reach me anytime you would like to talk.

Soli Deo Gloria!

The Desert Pastor

It is only by placing our trust in YHVH our God to do with us as HE will that we can truly serve Him and glorfiy Him here on earth. You are doing, I feel, the proper thing. If God is calling you to some other endeavour, then you will indeed glorify Him by submitting to His mighty hand. May you always follow where He leads, brother! I’ll see ya in Jerusalem!

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit!
Amen.

Thank you for your diligent service, dedication, and unwavering fight in the Truth War over the past couple years.

Your decision is one that I have been wrestling with as well lately, and have even cut back on my postings and comments. Let us all take stock of what’s important, let us redeem the time, let us be obedient to whatever He calls us to, and let us remain faithful to Him whom we serve in whatever capacity He has us.

I commend you for your decision and you will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,
Your brother in the Lord,
- The Pilgrim

He is obviously calling you elsewhere, namely unto Himself. What a great an awesome God we have!

Your sobering and upfront post here displays clearly where you true priority lay; in His hands.

And may we all take note.

All the best as you move on, being obedient to the LORD, as He has laid this burden on your heart.

I like it!

Go serve your King
