This is all so sad and disheartening. By now, every God filled person in Christ who was/is in the LC from back in the day should be mature enough to lead people to Christ and disciple the young ones in the Word of God.

Christ is our Head..not the ground of locality. We ought to be encouraging and lifting up the saints in the Word, by the Word. The local "ground" should not be the focus of our Faith.

Every religious group has a "ground of locality": the Catholic church, the Baptist church, the Pentecostal church

I recently attended a service where the visiting leading brother/pastor lavished his praises on the pastor of that church group. Wow!!! There is no pastor like that pastor!!!

:/

Haven't we all heard that same story???

So how different is the LSM from the rest of the bunch?

The real difference I see between the LCR/LSM is the LCR / LSM does not call or refer to the blended men and the leading men of their respective local churches, pastors/ministers/bishops/apostles/prophets/evangelists or "doctors" to their credit.

To my knowledge, they do not mandate "Tithes and offerings" also to their credit.
(Let the Holy Spirit direct the hearts).

Thirdly, they do not emphasize and/or mandate "praying/speaking in tongues"..also to their credit.

Unfortunately, Lee stifled the saints from growing in Christ by mandating the LR bible, the "life studies", the "HWMR", the ground of "locality" under Lee's umbrella, not Christ's and distancing themselves from other Christians (though they might deny this as many are tuning in to Christian radio and possibly Christian TV).

The bottom line is we all ought to be focused on God's heart..not on Lee's heart "the local ground". That is not our crown of Glory!!!

May God have exceedingly mercy on us all for judgment (rewards) first comes to the house of God. If He is not Numero Uno in our lives, our crowns could very well be taken from us (Revelation 3:11) (not the loss of our salvation).

Blessings everyone! And may the Lord Jesus and His Spirit of Truth and Love be everything to us.
