Thank you for this excellent read! The fleshly desire for visibility is contrary to Christ. This explains why Witness Lee was so offended by John So's insistence that "Christ would build His church" - and not man.

This following portion included at the bottom of that Sparks reading stands in stark contrast to how LSM operates. LSM not only merchandises ministry, it carefully edits out the words of WL which might raise questions. One is transparent, the other murky or even occult.
"In keeping with T. Austin-Sparks' wishes that what was freely received should be freely given and not sold for profit, and that his messages be reproduced word for word, we ask if you choose to share these messages with others, to please respect his wishes and offer them freely - free of any changes, free of any charge (except necessary distribution costs) and with this statement included."
P.S.
