Pray for Pastor Henrickson
Personal Knowledge ^ | 2023/07/25 | Self

Posted on 07/25/2023 7:27:02 PM PDT by old-ager

For many years, Pastor Charles Henrickson has posted a good Scriptural sermon here on FR. Please pray for him. He has a health challenge; that's all I can say.

Some laudable things about Pastor Henrickson: - he has posted a very good Confessional Lutheran sermon here every week for a long time - he uses his real name - he's openly being a member of Free Republic when so many, even in a conservative church body, would look down upon him for that. I don't know any other MO Synod pastor who does this, and I know quite a few. - unlike myself, he's never argued or been rude here, to my knowledge. He truly has "known only Christ."

I am very blessed to have considered him a friend for more than 20 years.

Finally, a commendation for FR, a conservative Roman Catholic site, more than tolerating the posts of a Confessional Lutheran pastor. If nothing else proved that FR is a real free speech place and a truly Christian place, this does so. Thank you FR for hosting Pastor Henrickson's sermons all these years.

Please pray for him. Thank you.

By that he just meant that the founder Mr. Robinson is Roman Catholic.

Freerepublic is not a Catholic site - it is a conservative site. We have had Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, OPC types, heck even athiests.

The common point is agreement on conservative broad themes - small government, pro-life, disagreement with flamboyant homosexual agenda (we have no issues with conservative homosexual people), etc.

And I was commending him for NOT censoring others who have a different understanding of the papacy.

Where better to ask for prayers than a place where MANY Christians hang out and are never persecuted for being a Christian of any sort.

But back to the main point of my post, All.

Don’t forget the many religious Jews who are here. (I think I’ve even seen a Buddhist or two, over the years.)

Quite right.

Thank you for posting this, old-ager, and thank you all for praying for me! Here's what's happening: I was having coughing and shortness of breath for some weeks, so I saw a pulmonologist. They did a biopsy, and I found out earlier this week that the mass in my right lung is indeed cancerous (which is weird, since I've never been a smoker). Yesterday they did an MRI of my brain, and the good news is, they found nothing! ;-) Tomorrow I get a PET scan to see if any cancerous cells have spread elsewhere in my body, and I meet with the oncology team to plan treatment going forward.

But I am baptized, which means that anything that happens to me has to go through my loving heavenly Father. My trust and confidence are in the Lord.

And just to show you that I am not wallowing in doom and gloom, here is a picture of me from the other night, on National Tequila Day, when I made margaritas and my wife made burgers on the grill!

Thanks first Marteen, for flagging me on Charles’ condition … Haven’t been able to post as often as before, but may I say that it’s good to see you’re doing well, considering your untimely demise many years ago ;-)

God’s choicest blessings & prayers for you, Reverend — He’ll see you through this according to His will, take care!

On your Facebook page you mentioned that the PET scan detected no spread to the rest of your body. Any more updates? The good news is it appears to have been detected early which is key.

I believe Pastor Henrickson has just gone to meet his maker. Rest in peace.
