(Good thing my Chaplain buddy s running late!)

Do you have to have 2 per car, or do you ride with a cop? There's obviously danger involved. I assume as a chaplain that you're unarmed....correct?

I envy what you're doing. I love that stuff.

Anyway, I'm not sure what your question is. When I get around to it, you tell me if I violated what you're concerned about. I honestly do believe that God judges those who've never heard of Christ by an older standard of faith.....almost a dispensational argument....if one's level of enlightenment is the equivalent of any old dispensation of grace, then that is the criteria on which judgement will be based.

I'm not an eschatological dispensationalist, but I tend that direction in terms of revealed grace.

Nope, we go it alone, one to a car. If we need a police officer we call for one, but I have not had to do that, yet. Driving a marked unit makes it a little easier to stand at a stranger's front door in the middle of the night, and having a police jacket and large identification makes it a little easier as well, but it is definately a situation where you trust in God for your protection.

I know that if I put out a call I can have a police officer on the scene in minutes, but my protection comes from the Lord who has commissioned me for my ministry. As a Calvinist, I know that His will is going to be done, that I will not die one minute before my appointed time, nor live one second longer than He has ordained.

Honestly, I don't believe that I could perform this duty if I held to a non-Calvinist theology.
