"where there is the highest concentration of saints who are remaining in the fellowship of the churches throughout the earth."

I am blessed to know that anybody who has gone through such a tragedy can get relief, but is it insensitive, or inappropriate for me to point out how sectarian this statement is?

Your right Rodger,

The LC does have a tendency to be self centered. But please don't take too much offense remember, The LC is just one branch of Christianity. And if you look at every branch you are sure to find something troublesome about them as well. Let's give our brothers and sisters to The Lord and watch patiently as His Will for them unfolds before us.

Grace to you brother Rodger,

Don

I noted the same thing, but decided to let it slide. Most of the organizations that I am aware of relating to both the earthquakes (Haiti and Chile), both secular and religious, are providing help to all that they can and are allowing those close to the center of the situations to direct how that help is distributed. The goal is that necessary aid reaches all.

Hello dear ones,

". . . the highest concentration of saints who are remaining in the fellowship of the churches throughout the earth."

". . . these fellow members of the Body who have paid a price to stand for the Lord’s interest in South America."

The assembly where my family and I gather has been very active in the relief efforts for Haiti, so I too rejoice to see any kind of relief being sent to suffering ones in Chile.

In light of the tragedy in Chile, it does seem improper to say too much, so I will simply say that I do not like the subtle put-downs contained in the two quotes shown above. These statements are a subtle condemnation of "the other side" involved in the LC turf war in South America. Using a tragedy like this to make statements like this is tacky.

“For just as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function” (Rom. 12:4)

In Chile, being mindful there are many members of the Body that receive different ministries yet of the same Spirit.
I have been in a home meeting for several years where two of the brothers out of their own time and expense have traveled to Chile for the puprose of ministering Christ through Youth With A Mission.

It was a tragedy and may each non-profit organizations such as the Church in Fullerton, United Way, Red Cross, etc meet the needs of those lives who have been impacted in Chile as result of the earthquake.

Amen. That is true justice.

Yes, I add my Amen to dear brother Terry's and dear brother OBW's posts.

May all the suffering ones in Chile receive all the help which they require.

Apparently there was a "mini Whistler" in Brazil, "quarantining" Dong Yu-Lan back in 2009.

If somebody can translate the Portuguese for us that would be great.

There are other recent regional happenings and I'll post those here in a little bit.

You can be sure that when Benson Phillips shows up in South America there is going to be trouble for somebody.
