That's great!! And this is just a small sampling!
I was talking to my husband this morning about this post. The thing is some of these places we were members of and were confident that The Lord wanted us there at the time. We were disappointed of the stuff that went on and weren't into inviting people to go to church with us when we realized how much nutso stuff was going on. We would discuss these crazy things and say, "Well, we know what not to do." We took these things as lessons because we learned lots of things from them. I told my husband that if we hadn't of experienced these things, we wouldn't have probably spoke out about them so much but now we are serious about helping people see that Jesus didn't obey people when they tried to get Him to reject His Father's will. Lots of these pastors tell people who question them that they are disobedient to The Lord's established authority and that they are unteachable. My husband made the good point that The Lord showed us what His church wasn't more before He has been showing us what His church truly is and should be. Kind of like how bankers learn to recognize the counterfeit bills before handling money on the job. The Lord is so smart!! One thing is for sure, I got lots of practice using my gift of discerning of spirits. :D
