Hey Ma’am, I pray the Lord you get a spiritual momentum going.
It is heartening to me to see lay efforts pull together like this, and I believe the official Baptist clergy are less averse to participation in such than some official Roman Catholic clergy are, but it isn’t a question of clergy here. It’s a question of believers with Christ in their hearts. I am an “honorary” Baptist, I suppose. I worship at a Baptist church. But I’m not an official member; I am actually a member still of my old nondenominational Bible church in Illinois. If the Baptists approach me to join, then I’ll discuss it (I’d willingly go teetotal for it if needed, though I think they ought to change to a positive “glorify God in your body” focus in their congregational covenant, rather than a negative “never drink alcohol” focus). But they accept me in all worship including praise music (what I did on keyboards a couple Sundays ago knocked their spiritual socks off: “God And God Alone.”)
I already prayed for your spiritual success. Remember to make exalting the Lord and asking for His exaltation a primary point. Whether prayers to other entities can help is a matter on which we obviously go different doctrinal directions... but ultimately it’s the exaltation of the Lord that matters. I’ll risk hoots from my Protestant fellows by saying OK, I’ll grant that Mary might... an archangel might... with the caveat that both depend on validity of post-biblical claims to special revelation... but you KNOW when you have. There will be NO doubt (if you positively want to see that it is done right do it yourself).
So what is the timing for this?
We're having a rally on Sept. 15 which will involve Baptist, Catholic, and Nondenoms who will be doing the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign in Bristol, TN/VA. Bristol is almost 40 miles from here (Johnson City TN)) and I have to decide whether to throw our JC people into the Bristol TN/VA campaign, or organize something here at the JC Planned Parenthood office (which does not do abortions but does refer for them.)
I would like a sign from God on what He wants us to do.
So --- there's 15 days.
I'll tell you more as this progresses. The 40-Days campaign in Bristol TN/VA --- and around the wold --- will be Sept 25 - Nov 3.
