Encouraging News!

Sons to Glory! · 03-22-2021, 11:10 AM

For the past year now I've been in contact with some ex-LC saints from both east & west coasts and some places in between, and have some encouraging things to report. Some of these ones I've had contact with through this forum, and some have come through Scottsdale. What is occurring is quite exciting to me!

What's been happening is that a number of these former members (and some who are still meeting with the LC) have been getting together regularly for fellowship and sharing with one another via Zoom and in-person. This includes a few ex-elders and other former leading ones from the LC.

I've participated in some of these group fellowships, and have spoken with a number of these ones individually in person or on the phone and also via Zoom. I can tell you it has been a real and fresh blessing from the Lord to see this occurring!

And this forum has provided a good place for helping to connect some of these ones with others to fellowship with! So praise the Lord for this - may He continue to use this forum to help more members of His body in making those healthy connections with one another!

One thing expressed a number of times is the desire for continued general anonymity, at least as far as this forum is concerned, and that is why I'm not giving names of these ones. This is because some are sensitive to family and friends who are still meeting with the LC and who may view this forum, and I need to be sensitive and respectful of their wishes. This includes those who may still be meeting with the LC. (BTW - Not all these ones are totally anti-WL/LC, but may just be bothered by certain practices. For them, getting together with other believers outside the LC is providing needed, healthy fellowship.) Others don't care much if I do share their name on here, but it just seems simpler to not give any names, at least for now. Lastly, I hope this posting is not construed as being anti-all things WL/LC in any way . . . everyone agrees that we love all blood-bought believers and we just want to know Him and report what we see the Lord is currently doing.)

Praise Him!
