Lord, open their eyes!

Thank you for your prayers. If I may, let me say that my story is far from unique; as you yourself know. The LSM church divides not on matters of Christ, but on matters of 'deputy authority' - making it another division and one which grieves the Lord's heart. Only Christ has authority; and here Christ's authority is usurped by men who would claim His glory for themselves.
There are many people who come here, to this forum, to read what we have to say. Brothers and Sisters, do not be ashamed to post here - even anonymously. Share your testimony - whatever it may be. Share your experience. Don't do it for spite, or for vengeance, or for offense - but for the Lord. Have the courage to share what He has really put on your heart.
If you come here regularly but don't post, then why do you come? Have you come seeking, as I did, to find others who are of like mind and heart; who have seen or heard or felt something corrupt where we were told no corruption could possibly exist?
Do not be afraid.
The Lord loves you. He died for you. He rose that you might have everlasting life. He told us "
upon this Rock I will build My Church" Matthew 16:18. Do you see that?
HE is building His Church; He hasn't subcontracted that job to anyone else.
