Another day, and more things LCG members can't get right.
Doug Winnail continues to expect LCG members to continue to look backwards instead of forwards. What can we expect when the leadership of the LCG lives in the past. Its emphasis is always looking backwards instead of forwards into reality of rest in Christ. The New Covenant emphasizes how its followers are no longer of this world and have been released from it. Legalists and backwards looking people can't grasp that point. Even today in the COG it continues to look back to the glory days of the church. None of them can shut up about it. Those leeks and onions still look so good.
Sobering Signs of the Times: The Bible contains numerous warnings to help alert Christians avoid terrible trials that are coming at the end of the age. In Genesis 18 and 19, God sent two angels to warn Lot and his family that Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed because of their wicked and perverted ways—including homosexuality (Ezekiel 16:48–50). These citizens, including Lot and his family, had forgotten that God destroyed nearly the entire human race only 400 years before (Genesis 6–7). However, Lot’s family enjoyed the abundance of the region and were reluctant to leave (Genesis 13:10–13). Lot’s wife lost her life because she looked back longingly instead of following God’s instruction to leave this sinful region. As we see the world moving down the same dangerous path, we need to remember these examples are recorded for our admonition today (1 Corinthians 10:1–13) and come out of this world and its evil and perverted ways (2 Corinthians 6:17–18). We cannot afford to ignore these sobering warnings.
Have a profitable Sabbath,
