And did she ever find lasting love in the Savior! Then she went through the entire population of Samaria to let them know!

Great verse! But exposing to LSM ---
Quote:
Love does not dishonor others;
Does not seek its own things;
Is not easily angered;
Does not keep an account of evil. -- I Cor. 13.5
Lee made a career of dishonoring others, especially Christians. Listening to him for years, I was left with the conclusion that he alone of all ministers was without fault, since he "faithfully" pointed out everyone else's. His ministry was absolutely self-seeking, willing to sacrifice even righteousness (think about his son Phil-E ) to advance it and bring other leaders under subjection.

It seems to me that from top to bottom, LC leaders were type-A, high-strung, hot-tempered, and abusive folks. "Not easily angered" never described them. These guys had massive memories, keeping a laundry list of "dirt" on friend and foe alike, yet Lee would preach to us that "forgiving equals forgetting" and remind us of the "fox-tail" of unforgiven offenses which would rise from the grave. Such a staggering demand was placed on us, yet never practiced it himself. Remember the Whistler kangaroo court? LSM could never forget that ole Titus demanded clean sheets.
