Review content:
I would recommend this church to everyone, and I have the basis to make this statement as a long-standing member of the church. The presence of God is here, the preaching is sound, the people demonstrate the love of Christ in such a beautiful way. Anyone seeking a good home church will find what they are looking for here at Lakeview Church. \r
\r
For those who have been unfortunate enough to have read any of the curiously negative reviews that some non-members have posted on this website, I do apologize for the confusion it has created. How easy it is to sling mud from the shadows and cast doubt in other people's minds. The people of Jesus day did the same thing: \r
\r
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children, 17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” - Matthew 11:16-19\r
\r
So we do not engage in some war of words or banter about with persuasive arguments. Our message and our preaching are not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (I Corinthians 2:4). ""Wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."" \r
\r
If Lakeview Church were not of God, it would have come to nothing a long time ago with or without human intervention. However, if the people of LCLC and the word that is preached there and the demonstration of the Spirit - if these these things are from God and not from men, then men and women will not be able to overthrow it but will find themselves fighting against God. (See Acts 5:33-39.)\r
\r
""For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me."" - II Corinthians 12:6\r
\r
It is easy to use words to defend ourselves, but we do not content ourselves with words. May you come to LCLC and see in us the things that are befitting of a people serving God. May you hear things that make you say, ""Surely God is among them."" \r
\r
We rejoice in all who are led to the true knowledge of God our Savior, and if that path leads you to Lakeview Christian Life Church we will be glad to share in the new life you have received from Jesus.
