Re: My Journey to the Local Church, and beyond...
NFL,
Of late I have become weary with long posts on these forums and tend to skip over them. But I printed out all your posts last night (still an old fashioned, hard copy in my hand kind of guy) and read them. Enjoyed it very much.
When Ohio talked about those who would tell you to run as fast as you can out of the Local Church, I'm sure I was one of those he had in mind. But I can't say that to you. Clearly your testimony of the Lord's speaking to you is very real, and you have been able to maintain that throughout your Living Stream Church experience.
More often than not people check their discernment at the door of the LSM Church, and pick up the corporate, Witness Lee fashioned conscience instead. I am so happy to see that you have not done that.
Not that my admonition would make any difference, but I encourage you to continue to stay where you are with eyes wide open. Surely persecution will come; especially once you show up on the radar of national leadership. But I feel good about your walk before the Lord and your willingness to obey His voice.
Welcome to the forum, and the Lord be with you.
Roger
