I appreciate your willingness to contain yourself, dear brother UntoHim!
Like I stated in my opening post, I foresee this being a thread whose purpose is not to critique WL’s ministry, either pro or con. Rather, I foresee a thread whose purpose is to point out the writings of other gifted ministers of Christ who covered certain matters in a better, fuller, more complete, way than WL did. My hope is that easily verifiable historical facts will be presented, facts that anyone can verify for themselves by looking at their own LSM publications or by going to lsm.org.
I do believe there is something of the Lord in all this, since the string of events which led up to this point has been rather remarkable. Just yesterday I received a PM from a dear brother who opened his heart and stated a “mission statement” for this thread in much clearer terms than I ever could have done!
One thing we should be thankful for regarding our time inside the LC is this: We truly were exposed to a good bit of the best writings from historical Christianity, across the spectrum of denominations and affiliations. From Luther to Guyon! From Darby to TAS! As a group we really have passed through something together that has equipped us to present the rich and diverse spiritual heritage of Christian writings in an unbiased way. This rich and diverse spiritual heritage is not ours alone – it is the birthright of every born-again believer. As we have all experienced for ourselves, many of these riches reside outside of the LSM presses! Those inside the LC may very well be completely unaware of these others riches. And those outside the LC may be surrounded by such a dizzying assortment of Christian literature that they would welcome any help they can get in separating the wheat from the chaff.
I love you in Christ, dear brother.
