TEMPLATE FOR RECEIVING OTHERS
http://www.leadersofthelordsrecovery...Scriptures.pdf In Aug 2001 I was reading in the New Testament and comparing the apostles' care for the churches to the commotion and atmosphere created in the Local Churches by the new way movement. Then I began to write, not knowing where that would lead, and In the Wake of the New Way came out. A template for receiving others is found in part 2, Love and One Accord... Paper in the Wind - 1988 A current elder in Redding, Dick Ingram, formerly an elder in Tempe, told me by phone that once he was helping a 24-year old brother in Tempe who was troubled by matters in the late eighties turmoil and that he was doing everything he could to help this young brother, even to the extent that Dick called Brother Lee for fellowship. Brother Lee’s fellowship was for him to let this troubled one go as “a paper in the wind” and “let the wind take care of him”! What Christ Has Received Rom 15:7 -- “Wherefore, receive one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.” “This verse, when taken along with 14:3, proves that Christ’s receiving is God’s receiving. What Christ has received, God has received. Christ has received us to the glory of God. Our receiving of the believers must be according to God’s and Christ’s receiving, not according to anything else. Whomever God and Christ has received we have to receive, regardless of how much they differ from us in doctrinal concepts or religious practices. This is for the glory of God.” W. Lee |
