Was I being punished by God? Was He displeased with me? Had I sinned in such a way as to interrupt my true fellowship with Him? All these questions came up, I was rocked, you could say. But as I sought to know His heart through the scriptures, He continued in fellowship with me. The LCers stopped having any communication with me, but He did not. Actually, as the weeks unfolded post shunning, He unveiled all the error in LC practice, doctrine, allegiance through His word. He assured me it was not He rejecting me. He never once stopped 'speaking' to me, but led me into light and away from the LSM lie....I read the Acts chapters and I see now what you were referring to.

ByHisMercy, so glad this fiery trial has only served to prove your faith, more precious than gold. (I Peter 1.6-7; 4.12-13)
