Many LCers strongly agree with RG and BP that their leaders are pristine and holy. Possibly writings by Hardy and Issit may be some hard evidence to gainsay.

In my many years in the LC I've heard it said too many times "It's all a pack of lies by the ambitious ones."

That is a true statement when you realize that the blended brothers are the ambitious ones.....and Benson is the most ambitious of all as his lifelong dream was to head a worldwide ministry according to his college classmates testimony and my personal experience with him.

James 3.16 speaks well of the "Blended" ambitions by those at LSM ...

For where jealousy and selfish ambitions exist, there you will find disorder and every evil work.

Romans 2.1 well addresses self-righteous "Blended" condemnations on others ...

You, therefore, are inexcusable, you who pass judgment on others. For in what you judge others, you condemn yourself, since while you judge others, you practice the very same things.

If I recall "Hope" had said the same thing regarding Benson.
Concering the so-called ambitious ones, at a lunch in 2004 one of the so-called ambitious ones told me if he had been ambitious in the manner LSM co-workers portray him to be, he would have never left.

"Saviour before Thy face we fall,
Our Lord, our life, our hope, our all,
For we have nowhere else to flee,
No sanctuary, Lord, but Thee."

This will be my last post for a while and I want to thank untohim for putting up and maintaining this site and I want to thank each of you that are contributing. For those of you still meeting with the local churches (LRC) my wife and I would welcome personal contact to pray and fellowship with you. For those of you that have called or sent personal messages we look forward to continued contact. As my wife and I enter our 70th year here on this amazing planet we thank God for our soon to be 50 years together and what a journey it has been as Christ has made his home in our hearts. Oh how we praise and thank and worship Him for showing us that NOTHING can separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus. We remain full of the Love and Peace and Joy of the Lord. Our prayer for each of you is that you may be filled continually with His Presence where there is indeed fullness of Joy!

"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." This, we may rest assured, is grateful to the heart of God. "To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word."
Here lies the true secret of moral security. Our knowledge of scripture may be very limited; but if our reverence for it be profound, we shall be preserved from a thousand errors, a thousand snares. And then there will be steady growth. We shall grow in the knowledge of God, of Christ and of the written word. We shall delight to draw from those living and exhaustless depths of holy scripture, and to range through those green pastures which infinite grace has so freely thrown open to the flock of Christ. Thus shall the divine life be nourished and strengthened; the word of God will become more and more precious to our souls, and we shall be led by the powerful ministry of the Holy Ghost into the depth, fullness, majesty and moral glory of holy scripture. We shall be delivered completely from the withering influences of all mere systems of theology, high, low or moderate — a most blessed deliverance! We shall be able to tell the advocates of all the schools of divinity under the sun that, whatever elements of truth they may have in their systems, we have in divine perfectness in the word of God; not twisted and tortured to make them fit into a system, but in their right place in the wide circle of divine revelation which has its eternal centre in the blessed Person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
