Sometimes spiritual needs spring from our material needs. God, as our loving Lord and Creator, would like to be involved with both.
As you mentioned Truthseeker, God gets upset with His people, Jewish and Christian alike, when He blesses them and they forsake Him for idols and other gods. Moses and the prophets regularly warned of this. Because we are so often willfully deceived, God uses all of our needs to help us return to Him in love by faith.

But we always see that Lee's teaching and Blended Brothers just emphasize spiritual matter in their interpretation. Everything for them is just symbolic or spiritual. Lord's recovery is just a place where we find many imbalanced teaching and practice. Christians can be shortcoming of proper and healthy word of God because of their imbalanced point of view.
