Amen, dear sister. Yes, it is so good for us to have a long and hilarious laugh! I have been desiring to resume the main burden of this thread from where I left off back in Post #63, but all this other fellowship has been so enjoyable that I now hope it won't stop. "Flowdalism"!! It still makes me laugh. I do believe that this newly coined term is going to be a "keeper".

Isn't it wonderful to be out amongst all our brothers and sisters in Christ? I too find that my greatest need since leaving the LC is gaining genuine humility. I have so much to un-learn and so much to learn in this area. I definitely do not want to over-elevate dear brother TAS, but I must testify. TAS's ministry really helps expose my lack of humility since TAS, more than any other Christian author I have ever read, exposes the lack of Christ in my daily living.

Thank you for the verse from Matthew 18, dear sister. This really is a crucial matter. "Flowdalism" definitely kept me proud and exclusive. Now that I am free from an environment of "flowdalism", both the desire and the willingness to humble myself as a little child are growing stronger and stronger within me.

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." Amen!
