Default Re: 'Ground of the Church'

It brings understanding of obedience to the commandment to your lay your life down for the brothers AND in continued obedience, for the taking up again of that life in them! Now although I have no issue with LSM, it still presents a problem for the Church. Where the church has not dug down to solid rock through the obedience to lay your life down for the brothers, the force of LSM is greater than what the local church built there can resist. It is the proverbial house built on sand, the sand being a riverbed of the stream. The storm comes and much is lost and carried away, but revelation in the aftermath is great for some.
I am David, standing the ground of the church in Greenback in the Meeting Place State!
Enjoy!!!!!!!

I think this is very funny. You have brightened my day, thanks. Imagine for a minute an unbeliever visits two assemblies. One keeps "the ground of the city" as a controlling doctrine. The other one has the undeniable presence of Jesus in the midst, prayers are answered, sins are dealt with, there is forgiveness of one another which also results in love of the brothers. Which one is the church that will withstand the onslaught of Satan and which is built on sand?
