But, I know what I have seen. And, seeing is everything. What I see is what I live by.
Prior to going into the local church meeting last week, I went into the Pres meeting next door where they have 4000 members .....
I also went to another popular meeting place called Washington Cathedral, and another called Westminster Chapel. These places are filled with hundreds and into the thousands of believers. Overlake Christian is another place, 5000 at least. North Baptist is another.
I joined home meetings in the first 3 places I mentioned.

Steve,
Go back to the LC if that is where you feel you are being led...but here are my thoughts on what I see you are going through:
You are very, very hungry for genuine fellowship with strong believers...for the building up & the edifying of the church, the body of Christ.
Awesome!
Now for the buts:
The LC/LSM is NOT what it used to be. You remind me of people who try to remake movies that end up flopping or try to bring to the big screen TV shows that were hits but ultimately FLOP on the big screen.
It can't be duplicated.
As for the mega church experience..and otherwise, Apostosy is running rampant in the church. The falling away is at hand. Believe it or not believe it, we are living in the last seconds of the last days. We are experiencing birth pangs and the pangs are getting stronger because the return of our LORD as our Bridegroom and KING is soon approaching.
You don't have to believe me...but it doesn't change the facts. Life on this earth be it the LC/LSM or anywhere on earth is just not getting better nor is it going to..until Christ the KING returns.
This should lift up your HOPE, Your FAITH, & give you a level of excitement.
For me, the Lord gave me a gift through the LC...that is to uplift & encourage the saints.
Continue to draw near and dear to the LORD. Delight in HIM and He'll grant you the desires of your heart.
(Psalm 37:4)
So whatever you choose to do, be of good cheer. Lift up and encourage the saints. Don't expect much from people. Do expect the LORD to bless YOU as you follow His Leading through the Holy Spirit.
GOD-SPEED Steve !
See ya in the Holy City New Jerusalem one of these days!
