"Our distinct heritage." "Our unique commitment from the Lord."
In other words,
we can't live without being special.
Their unique committedness is only to themselves. I've never seen a group of people, and this includes the Kardashians, more utterly self-absorbed that the LCM. Their self-appreciation and self-aggrandizement is beyond the pale. It's a spectacular display, like fireworks spelling out their names for all to see, again and again...
If we are to be committed to any uniqueness, any distinction, it should be the uniqueness of our God and his Christ. The LCM once got this, or at least they seemed to. But now, it's all about them and their glory, not God's.
So close, yet so far. Yet... not really that close any more. Just a sad "distinction."
