Taking the stand as the church in a city is not a business proposition, nor is it a boastful power trip. It should be a very humble- clothed in humility, act of forsaking all that resulted from those over the history of the church who did not return to "that which was from the beginning". The RC which was a religious/political power trip is always standing before us as a warning sign not to go down that road. The WL/LSM fiasco is along the same vein. I would urge all those meeting as a local church to turn away from that road, to turn back to what was from the beginning- the love of meeting in the Lord's name, the rejection of positions, names, titles, a return to scripture, a genuine love of the Lord's people, and put on Christ in a real way- with humility, love, kindness, simplicity, grace and purpose of serving our head-Jesus. Do it for the sake of truth, for the sake of God's will, for the sake of the unsaved, and for your own sakes.

Amen, Boxjobox
