Not that any of you should care, of course, but I am stepping out of the internet scene (except for obligatory things like paying bills, work, etc.) for an indefinite amount of time. I feel like I’m in severe neglect and found lax in many duties, and it’s time for a fast in this regard.

If there is any reason you wish to contact me, my email address is sirhicksATgmailDOTcom. If not, I would still appreciate your prayers if you’re so inclined to do so. By indefinite, I really mean I don’t know how long I’ll be of a much lesser presence. Maybe a week, maybe a month, who knows?

Grace, Peace, and Godspeed, Friends.

God bless you, Joshua, for having the spiritual maturity and strength to know when and what to fast from.

Yeah, me thinks Sirmon comin round is a bad influence.

Seriously I am considering taking such a break myself and totally understand the reasons.

Grace and Peace,

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

Well, I guess he's not Josh'n about taking a break. Looking forward, Lord willing, to his return.
