I'm one of the worst..... a habit, perchance, from my local church days...caught up with Lee ministry concept toys ... hard habit to kick ... obviously ... but I got to be special, and superior to most, those outside specially, the LC ... oh what fun that fantasy was ... while it lasted.
But is living suppose to be like churchin in the LC?

Amen dear brother awareness! "Living is the real reality" - very well said.
For those who have just got to be special, who just have got to be superior to most, and who just have got to be the greatest thing around, Jesus Christ offers a simple and complete, albeit radical, cure: Humble yourself, become like a slave, and start serving all the people around you. A word of heartfelt love to all those entangled in the Living Stream Ministry churches: Jesus' cure would be a great first step for you to take.
May God have mercy on us all.
If you liked what I wrote in Post #161, and especially if you liked the quote from dear brother Marcus Minucius Felix, I think you will also like these quotes:

What the world needs most is not more words, but more real living! What is desperately needed is Christians whose lives are marked by obedience, faith, and love.
May Christ be with you, dear brother awareness.
