I also struggle with the truth. It seems so clear in black and white; why am I so short in actuality?
One of the drawbacks of the "clear word" theology in the Lee-ite churches was that your mind gets ossified in the template provided. No wiggle room; no uncertainty. But our lives still (for the most part) lack a clear reflection of christ.
So we are told to work harder. You know, do the same thing over and over again, only more strongly, and you will get different (better) results.
Somewhere in this process, we must be allowed to radically re-think our treasured concepts -- they become cages which cut us off from the possibility of freedom offered by the Lord.
Your time in the Lee-ite church was not vain. God allowed, and used it, for a reason. But be careful how much of it you want to drag forward into your new future with Christ.
The nice thing about following the God of resurrection is that you can throw it ALL down, and watch the Eternal One pick up the pieces and re-assemble something you never dreamed possible.
Grace to you in your journey. God bless those children who got excited for Christ.
