That reminds me...
When I returned to the Lord full throttle 10-12 yrs ago, I would check Lee's footnotes in the NT RcV I had if I was reading an author's commentary on a particular topic or if I was contemplating a scripture I did not understand...and I had been out of the LC since 1979!!!
In my defense...or not.. I wandered in the wilderness for over 20 yrs, w/o attending a church service. I confess I was a closeted, secret defender of the LC ministry. Forcing myself to make the Christian circuit with all its twists and turns, up and downs, was the perfect prescription the Great Physician gave me to strip away the "old (LC) wine skin" and be filled with newness of Life.
