This touches on a raw nerve for me. Just recently my brother-in-law tried to insert "loyalty to the ministry" between and me and my wife (that's right Awareness I'm not a sister) regarding my decision to pull back from LSM recovery church meetings. He told her to just tell me that she would still continue to meet and he said that this "could be my salvation" (I guess I was wrong all this time thinking that my precious Lord Jesus was my salvation because it turns out that loyalty to "the ministry" is all I needed after being saved). Does anyone out there detect a shift away from loyalty to Christ to loyalty to a man's ministry? Those of you with discernment (you know the scanners of the souls of men) please answer me: What kind of spirit would direct a believer's heart away from the person of our Lord to the ministry of a man? God could only be in this if "the ministry of a man" was equivalent to "the person of the Lord". If you think these two things are congruent I fear you may have been bewitched.
