We go on.

It's Don Jr, and I say we go on.

After the great divide of the Local Church, the saints need to take a time out and reflect on what they've been through from the moment they touched the LC until now. They need to not be in a hurry for answers. And to not be afraid because they are now in the pature where the Shepard is!

Remember dear saints, Deuteronomy 6:23 we read “And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers”. So trust Him and be patient and give Him praise as you come to realize that He has you exactly where He wants you. And know He has plans for you even for tomorrow.

So lets go on! Let's follow the Lord in faith and see where He will lead us.

That's it for now,

His love flows down in a shower of Grace,

Don Jr.

Dear Saints,

Wherever we are, in or out of the Local Church we go on. Because Jesus Christ is our leader. He is the one that has sustained us even until this very moment! He is our Shepherd, our encouragement our life. It's not about the Local Church it's about Christ. It's not about the Baptists It's about Christ! Nothing can be above Christ. Dear saints, He is calling us! Calling us into oneness. Dear brothers and sisters how can we be one when there is such turmoil? Let go on! We have our Leader! We have Jesus Christ our Commander in Chief. WE don't need a new way! Jesus is the Way! Let's go!
Lets go on!

You know, Jesus will stop at nothing to get obstacles out of our path if we let Him Lead.

May the Peace of Christ pour and pour all over you!

Don Jr.

How 'bout going UP? I'm not referring to the Rapture in particular but since I believe one day soon there will be a 'catching away...being caught UP', I look forward to being among the firstfruits picked.

However, what I'm actually aluding to is our spiritual 'promotion'.

Every saint's journey is a little different but we will all end up in the same place.

For me, The LC was my 'Gilgal'.(Joshua 5:9) The place where I got saved and became rooted and grounded in the Word. The place where I was fed corn (the Word) and a place of comfort There was some genuine growth in Christ and some degree of brokenness, of dying to self. Aww...but my spirit hungered for more & thus I left and journey'd towards "Bethel". YIKES! That is where I truly died to self, & crucified the flesh, AFTER I wrestled with GOD. It is the place where I truly surrendered & in real life, the RA (rhumatoid arthritis) that attacked my body, produced a limp in my leg for several years. LOL! What a reminder of Jacob's journey! The limp is gone now THANKFULLY. It was there where I 'saw' the Face of GOD, after I gave in. It was/is not a physical location but a spiritual location. God then led me to Jericho where I covered myself with the Armour of GOD, the WORD of GOD that I received at Gilgal. It is a place we ALL should be in right now...a place fighting alongside our Captain Jesus who leads us into spiritual battle. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.

But there is another pitstop to make on the way up...and that is Jordan. I'm not sure I have arrived there...I might be on the outskirts.

Because we are one, even in the turmoil. The turmoil is not what's real.. The oneness in Spirit is, and is above even our turmoil. Keep eyes on Christ while in the turmoil, and the turmoil means nothing.

I don't know if the turmoil means nothing, the turmoil is there for whatever reason. If we are wise we will notice that the turmoil is a symptom and we can search out the cause which has broken our corporate oneness.
Then maybe we can turn to the Lord and be restored to the corporate oneness."In the LC"

It is obvious that corporately our oneness has been divided. At least in the LC.
Individually we are one with the Lord.
But how can we be one if we are not one with the body of Christ? ( I speak of the LC crisis.)
What a paradox!

You know, the rest of Christianity has the same problem. The only difference is that some fall away and some move on. Kinda reminds me of the parable of the sower!

Jesus is still Lord and I see that as His problem. I hope for the best in that case however I MUST go on.

"And I can because I am not under the authority of the blended ones."

"Can You" ( That questions for everyone.)

Much Grace to the saints,

Don JR.

AMEN!
We have ONE FATHER, One LORD. There is One Spirit. We are IN Christ Jesus.
But we are all have different personalities and different experiences. Some of us are in 1st grade and keep repeating 1st grade while some of us are getting our 'PhDs' from the Holy Spirit 'University'.

We must exercise patience with each other and learn from the BEST...JESUS who was extremely patient and yet firm in teaching his disciples. He loved Peter and yet how many times did he rebuke him? And now compare Peter to John? How many times we read Jesus rebuke 'the one He loved' who we all assume was John.

Did Jesus love John more than Peter? Noooooo but Peter didn't catch on as quickly as John did imho.

Compare the hand and the foot. How often does the foot and the hand meet? Yet they are both connected to the body...both very important members with very different functions. We don't walk with our hands and we don't write with our feet...and unless the brain tells the hand to touch the foot, they're not going to touch.

If we keep searching the scriptures prayerfully with CHRIST as our focus, our center, loving Him as He loves us, the Holy Spirit will guide us and teach us how to be One with each other.

Go on to where?

Where ever the Lord leads. I will go on with the Lord is what I meant.

Grace to you Harold.

"Can You" ( That questions for everyone.)

Yes. I'm doing it in this post, that you claim is Christless.

I don't think that other board is Christless. However I do know that I didn't appreciate the spirit/attitude towards other saints regarding the LC crisis. And from the content of a lot of posts over there I didn't see an expression of love or concern for them, just harping. I'm for confrontation if it is done right. And for the right reason. It's Healthy. I'm even for exposing a wrong on a message board over and over if it is done in love. And most importantly if I'm lead by the Lord to do so. There has been many wrongs in the LC and those wrongs will be posted over and over not just to expose the LSM but also to warn anyone getting caught up in it. And that is good if it is done in the Spirit and In love and ultimately with the leading of the Lord. Otherwise it is motivated by the flesh and will not endure.

Grace to you Harold and all the saints where ever you are!

Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung throughout the land,
I hear them hail thy shining star,
Hast thou no scar? no scar?

Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent,
Leaned Me against a tree; and rent
By ravening beasts around Me, I swooned:
Hast thou no wound? no wound?

No wound? no scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced the feet that follow Me;
But whole? can he have followed far
Who has no wound nor scar?
Has thou no scar?
