Re: Elvis has left the building
Trapped I'll pass on something I heard after I left the LC that was quite helpful to me at the time. I'm not a huge fan of Joyce Meyer, but this comment she made was quite liberating for me. She said, "any truth in the Bible, taken to the extreme, can become a falsehood."
LSM's teachings often went to the extreme in order to prove that all other Christians were wrong, and only they were right.
This often confuses LC members. Yes, they do speak truths from scripture, but they are taken to the extreme, and thus become falsehoods. The Bible, however, is balanced. Reading the Bible alone, supplemented by teaching ministries, is far healthier for the church.
