To make a long story short, Clem wanted to know who I was with: Cleveland or Anaheim?

When I left, we were all being asked the same question. Each side exhorted us to "take a stand for the truth." The real question was the same one raised in Corinth, Who are you "of"?
Thus the never-ending LC disconnect -- teach things almost Biblical as a smokescreen for the most sectarian of practices. It's no wonder that the next generation took it so hard. I rejoice just hearing about their struggle to walk by faith.
This morning I read about "Isaiah 58 faith." Sounded a lot like "Love your neighbor as yourself." Novel idea.
