When I left the LC meetings I struggled hard about meeting anywhere else -- which is natural, since the whole point of the LC is theirs is the *only* place to meet. From Jerusalem vs. High Places to the "local church equation" (Acts 14:23 + Titus 1:5 = Rev 1:11 ... see? still remember that after 30+ years) and more, it's drilled into us that unless we meet on Lee-sactioned ground we're not discerning the Body. My first non-LC meeting was scary.
But, eventually, I had a break through. I could relax and appreciate just being with believers. (As time went on, I realized I could relax and appreciate just being with people, but let's take one step at a time and not everyone wants to go the same direction I have!).
I'd suggest setting aside the idea that the next place you visit is the LAST place you'll visit. Remove the pressure of the expectation that you can't meet unless you find the "Right Place." Take a chance (be on guard, surely; keep yourself safe) and see if God will meet you where you are, wherever that is. Consider a little "visitation" -- without passing too many judgements on the differences but see if you can find some commonalities, some genuine fellowship.
Make a list of places to visit. Consider places you'd *NEVER* imagine going ... and visit. No pressure on joining or ever going again -- just... explore.
That would be my suggestion  |
