Re: The Bait of Satan, by John Bevere
While reading this and other threads on this site over the past few days the incredible human toll I witnessed myself and have read here of TLR "bait of Satan" struck me.
I began to make a mental "Vietnam Wall" like list of dear saints I once "fought the good fight with" in TLR that were wounded along the way and were left for dead by those who should have cared for them, including me, with a calloused heart.
The length of my TLR Wall list and the story of each one, including damage to relationships and children staggered me, as I mourned and repented silently. I wondered how long the TLR wall list would be if it was collectively compiled.
As God uses even the bad things for good to those who love him, and are called according to His purpose, I didn't want to get too depressed about it. But the thought of putting real persons names on a public list might shine more light on the problem.
