Dear Terry,
In this very fast-paced thread, I had completely forgotten about that post! Thank you for noticing and thank you for the kind words.
We surely did lose sight of other rich ministries didn't we? Those other rich ministries could have had such a healthy, balancing, and healing effect on the LC. Much of what is being discussed here surely could have been prevented by an openess to receive the help available in other rich portions of the New Testament Ministry.
Like you, I yearn for a return to the full freedom and simplicity in Christ that the loving heart of our heavenly Father longs to give us. O, to just be simple in Christ! O, to just be free in Him! This is how human beings, made in the image and likeness of God, are meant to be!
That old Shaker hymn really had it right:
" 'Tis a gift to be simple . . . 'Tis a gift to be free."
