Dear brother Roger,
Thank you so much for your “PS” in your previous post. It really saddens me that the brothers and the sisters in the LC were discouraged from reading TAS’s ministry for all those years. A lot of riches were missed and a lot of
healthy spiritual balance was missed. I just can’t find anywhere in the New Testament where we are exhorted to limit ourselves to the ministry of only one minister of Christ.
TAS definitely had a lot of important things to say. But even beyond the rich details within TAS’s speaking, just being open to TAS’s ministry would have been a healthy humbling to those in the LC, as they would have seen clear evidence of the Lord's moving in places outside of the LC. By reading TAS’s ministry, they would have seen the precious work our Lord carried out through TAS and those with him. In addition, TAS’s ministry would have pointed them to others like Bakht Singh, Stephen Kaung, etc., where the Lord was also working in a fresh, up-to-date, way.
Thank you, dear brother, for the web-site link. I have always thought of
christiantapeministry.com as the site for Stephen Kaung/Lance Lambert/Christian Chen. This site actually contains 318 TAS messages! Another pleasant surprise is that this site contains five messages from John Ingalls.
For those who would like to be able to view the text of the messages that I am referring to in this thread, please visit
austin-sparks.net and look for the messages spoken in 1964 under the series title “"That They May All Be One, Even As We Are One". To directly link to the messages in Volume 1 (Message 1 - 22) of this series, click
