Since the church life is the proper life, it brings in God's blessing. Peace, joy, love, sympathy, kindness, normal living—all are signs of such a blessing of life which comes by the experience of Christ through the cross.

My, how things have changed over the last half century!
It’s been almost 50 years since I first met a handful of bro/sis at work. They really “glowed” with the glory of God. They had just uprooted and migrated to Cleveland. Each testified of how the Lord rescued them from their old sad life and saved them dramatically. It was just undeniable that the Lord was with them richly. I was unsaved but what they had was quite attractive. Jesus Christ and His word was all they spoke of.
Now before some of you freak out as if I am now promoting the Recovery, let me say more.
First, that was somewhat the context for Lee’s statement above from the Genesis LS. Second, and this became the reason whatever “blessing” was there got removed, WL began to take all the credit for that blessing, rather than give it to God. Third, WL replaced God’s word with his own ministry, and replaced the Lord with practices, teachings, ordinances, legalism, and dead works. Fourth, WL hid much corruption and unrighteousness in his ministry.
Today, I would no more recommend LSM for an seeking Christian than I would recommend someone with a headache take fentanyl.
