Okay, I've got another good thing I think that was promoted by the ol' Recovery. But first, here's what we have thus far:

1. Open meetings - encouraging all to function
2. The Emphasis on the Indwelling Christ
3. Calling on the name of the Lord
4. Taking in the Pure Milk of the Word
5. One church; One city

And, drum roll please, here's the next one I've thought of: "The Building"

There was a lot of teaching around the building aspect of God's purpose in the LC, but I must confess that I didn't start to see what it was all about until maybe 10 years ago (after leaving the Recovery). And I'd never heard much about this outside "The Recovery" or its "spin-offs" . . .that is up until yesterday when a national radio brother launched into a glorious 5 minute sharing of the dwelling place of God. It was so refreshing! He really appeared to see something and was going through all these incredible verses about the temple in both the Old and New Covenants. Wow! He talked about how we are now being built up, as living stones, into a dwelling place of God. Double WOW!

Up until that point, I don't think I'd heard this from a modern, contemporary Christian outside the greater LC circle of influence. Praise Him!

(What if the Universal Church really is like Sampson - who was pretty much in the toilet, but remembered who he was - and then finishes well!? With Sampson it happened in an instant, and his name gets added to the faithful ones in Hebrews 11.)
