I guess God's word and an occasional diversity of ministers is plenty enough for me these days. I was specifically told that going back to the pure word of God was a "tactic of the enemy." But isn't reading the ministry of just one man in place of the Bible also a "tactic of the enemy?"
And what if I no longer value "being a better theologian?" What if loving God and loving my neighbor are sufficient goals in my christian life? Actually, studying Lee full-time was way easier than what Jesus has personally instructed us to do.
And btw I saw all kinds of brothers at LSM serving out of their natural life, violating scriptural commands, and "killing" their brothers, all the while thinking they were serving God.
