"Here is a call for the patient endurance of the saints."
So to all those that pray for the body of believers to come together, as in biblical times, I say be aware of exactly what it is you are pray for. Nevertheless the Lord's will be done.

Hi JoS,
I didn't see the movie so I can't speak to that. To the matter of the Lord forming His church I agree with you...He knows what He is doing. I really trust in His fellowship when I am before Him in prayer...and it was definitely His speaking, or what was actually His "pre"-speaking which I was able to then contrast with the pressure tactics...the pressure "fellowship" I was getting from the LC right before it all ended for us there....He gave me such a love for His body...I mean all the saints...I just ended up with this wish...to visit and fellowship with all His believers, the true body of Christ, that is, worldwide, believers in Jesus...this joyful desire to meet every one of my brothers and sisters in Christ bubbling up in me (and I believe I will in heaven)...this contrasted so sharply with the LC saints ernest desire to share Gods "hatred" of denominations...this was one contrast that really opened my eyes in my last days "in" the LC. I mean, He imparted His love for the body me in such a tangible way...and the LC simply doesn't match the Jesus I know. Truly, His sheep know His voice....and as for me, I trust His voice over and above even a genuine group of His own...which I know they are...only off His narrow way...
