Re: Current status of the Local Church?
An excerpt from Daily Words for the Christian Life best describes what Living Stream Ministry has become:
"We Christians often serve both in the spirit as well as in the flesh, using our own ways. This is the principle of mixture. We find it hard to walk solely by the spirit, so we mix the spirit with the flesh. This produces “mighty men of renown.” On the one hand we pray with our spirit, and on the other hand, we are full of plans and try our best to handle things according to the flesh. This is mixture. As a result, we build ourselves up, seeking to become mighty men."
I'll take it a step further to say at the Lord's name does get taken in vain. To suggest whatever the latest flow is, latest plans are, become qualified by saying this is where the Lord is moving.....As if to say whichever direction Living Stream choses to go in, that's the Lord moving. For years we've heard LSM is not an organization, but an organism. Really?
