Something to think about...If you look at other churches on this website you will not find information like this. Sad part is LCLC will just see this as persecution that they are to endure for the sake of the kingdom instead of - maybe we should look at this. I remember hearing growing up that the Lord was looking for the remnant, and in a nut shell they were the remnant and everyone else did not have the truth. That is how they explain either their dwindling numbers or their small congregations to begin with in the other churches of their association. Just a little something to think about...\r

The parable of the Tares among the Wheat, I think every Christian is familiar with this writing found in Matthew 13:24-30. I personally have read it several times, but after the things that have been brought to light in the last couple of weeks I felt a huge release from them. So many of us have lost love ones and that is the reason why we are voicing our opinions on this website. We are trying to save others from having the same thing happen to them. Some of us have been hurt badly and it is hard to heal and others have been pressing on by the grace of God and we are better than we have ever been. The bottom line is this I wanted to share this with my brothers and sisters who feel the same pain that I feel and the loss that I have and that is this. Verse 30 says “Allow both to grow together until the harvest and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.” It also says in vs. 41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness and will throw them into the furnace of fire in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” For so long after we left the church this is what I knew the church was saying about me, or anyone who has left the church. But today as I read His word, I found so much comfort in knowing that it is He is the one who does the separating between the tares and the wheat. He is the one who will claim me in the end if I am faithful to walk in His paths. Today I want to say to all of us who are where we are today, there is hope for us because if we belong to God and follow His ways we know where we will be in the end. Those that have been “stumbling blocks” in our walk with Christ, will have to answer for that. I give my love to all of you who have been hurt, lied about, and have just wanted the truth to be revealed, one day it will be. Maybe not on this earth, but when we stand before Christ He is our bottom line. Fear no more, they are the ones that are missing out not us. Why do you think they are looking at sites like this? Why do you think they know about our lives when they are told to forget about us?
