"Thanks [be] to God for his UNSPEAKABLE free gift." (2Cor. 9:15)

The fellowship you seek was preserved here: Galatians 2:9. Sealed among the nations for the day of redemption. Paul's work in the apostolic age produced seven golden lampstands appearing to John in Revelation 1-3. From Ephesus to Laodicea now conditions manifest. It is difficult to doubt condition of LSM is Laodicea, even in your report. But the Lord rebukes and disciplines as many as He loves. Behold, He stands at the door and is knocking!
