And now you've been moved away from the purity and simplicity of the gospel. Now your focus is off your Lord, and if you aren't careful you'll be led further and further away. I've seen it a dozen times if I've seen it once. It's such a smooth move. Like a card trick; gets them almost every time.

I feel that the LC draws many people by portraying itself as a "no nonsense" kind of group. They say they are only for Christ. Once someone has been around for a little while, they are told that in order to be for Christ, they have to be for "the church."

Then they come to find that "the church" is supposedly only accurately detailed by a certain ministry. So the underlying assumption is that they have to be for a certain ministry if they're serious about the Lord.

It is a mindset that deceives so many. "The Church," as a singular entity seems like a worthy goal. But what is missing from the equation? Christ.
