C. For Paul, the present evil age was Judaism; for us today, the present evil age is deformed and degraded Christianity—1:4; Matt. 13:31-33, 44-46:
1. We need to realize how much we need to be delivered from the influence of religion in the present evil age.
2. The church is the living Body of Christ, but what surrounds us today is a religion—deformed and degraded Christianity—full of traditions, organizations, performances, and falsehoods; the Lord cannot accomplish His purpose in this situation.
3. We all need to be delivered from religion, from Christianity as the present evil age; we must come out of Babylon, and Babylon must come out of us—Ezra 1; Rev. 18:4; Zech. 3:1-4.
4. The history among us in the Lord’s recovery has been a history of coming out of Christianity—a history of coming out of and being outside of the present evil age—Gal. 1:4; Heb. 13:12-13.
5. Because the Lord’s recovery is different from today’s religion—deformed and degraded Christianity—it is impossible for there to be reconciliation between the recovery and Christianity—Matt. 13:31-33, 44-46; Rev. 18:4; 19:1-3, 7-9.
6. We need to maintain the gap between the Lord’s recovery and Christianity; the wider this gap is, the better, because it is a gap between us and the present evil age—Gal. 1:4.

This outline is absolutely pathetic! What a sloppy use of scriptures!
Have they not read the scripture, "with what judgment you judge you will be judged." (Matt 7.2)???
The writers of this outline have become blind and proud Laodiceans, having not a clue that the leadership in the Recovery itself is far worse than those they judge. They are the present evil age!!!
- Where else could church leaders boondoggle their followers into investing into Daystar Motorhomes? (But, hey "investors," consider it an offering to God! Tennis "racket" anyone?)
- Where else could a ministry regularly sue other publishers and justify their course of action by "appealing to Caesar?" (Sounds like the Pharisees, "we have no king but Caesar.)
- Where else could a ministry be run by unsaved profligate family members, who have a history of molesting the interns. (And once again W. Lee assured us, "I'll handle this.")
- Where else could a ministry have its own legal defense team to sue all member LC's who become too "independent?" (Yet advertise a system which alone maintains autonomous LC's, not like those evil denominations.)
- Where else could leaders publicly slander and libel ex-co-workers like Ingalls, Mallon, Chu, Dong, So, etc. etc. yet it is they alone who are godly enough to bear the cross, and not sue in return. (Teflon LSM has escaped criminal and civil litigations for decades.)
Many of us left because LSM had become this "present evil age," and they have the nerve to condemn every other Christian in the body of Christ for far worse crimes than they have committed. (Romans 2.1-4)
