We sure appreciate the
input and read
each comment
and we are so often encouraged. However due to the volume of
comments we
receive we are not necessarily able to reply personally to each one. We regret
this since
often readers will share a particular need or have a specific question. We
certainly do pray when we receive a prayer request.
Some
may be disappointed or even offended that we do not respond personally
to their
email message. We regret that we can’t keep the
“personal touch” in
this regard, but we get a lot of emails and must prioritize how we handle
responding to these emails. We also have a lot of other responsibilities
apart
from dealing with email!
We certainly try to
prioritize responding to people
with whom we have a personal relationship such as family and friends.
We get many comments in
regard to the
daily encouragements we write, mostly from readers we've never
met. We are not always able to reply to them due to time constraints.
But we do read each
comment
and really appreciate the interest and encouragement. These reader
comments
come under a variety of categories.
Many
just express
appreciation on how
an
encouragement ministered to them and that’s great.
Brooksyne and I are so glad to hear that!
Others
share a need
for prayer and we will lift
up the need to our heavenly Father.
Others
have
questions about what we
believe on
particular issues. We are just unable to dialogue on these matters. We
state
clearly what we believe in regard to foundational doctrines on theinfopage.Regular
readers will also over time get a sense of what we believe on secondary
issues
as well. However we don’t care or have time to get into the
many
theological
squabbles over differences that earnest Christians have. I suggest you
see your
own pastor or other local believer regarding these questions. Also at
times I
sense some merely want to see if we agree with their view on a
particular
subject!
A
few are upset
about something we’ve written.
Although we don’t try to purposefully offend, nevertheless
some
are inevitably
offended. If you do not find our writings encouraging and uplifting easy
“unsubscribe”
directions are included with each email post.
Some
have questions
about technical
issues or
seek our advice about getting into web and email ministry. For a start see this page.
There are
many excellent
resources for this and we encourage you to seek them out and use the web
and
email to share ministry.
We get
requests that we place
a link on
the Daily Encouragement site to other ministries or sites. We have
decided not
to do this as there would be so many links if we honored all requests
that it
would be time-consuming and practically meaningless due to the length
of the
list. If we are selective then we would offend those we didn’t
include! There are
already many excellent directories
of Christian ministries and resources on the web.
Thanks
again for your comments!
