Investigating Radiant Life Church of Sacramento
Date: September 21, 2007 06:26AM
How sad that someone thinks it strange that a loving person from the church would want to bring a dinner to a family.
I have been in many churches over the years, I am 58 years young, and I can truly say I have grown more spiritually at Radiant Life Church than at any other church I ever attended. Pastor Tony's sermons are clear, filled with Christ's love and penetrate into your soul with truth and light. Illuminating the Truth in the Bible so that we can apply to our lives. Tony does not portray himself as God, he does not suggest we follow him, he only wants us to follow God and His ways. A cult leader wants you to follow the leader, not God. Tony has a heart for the lost, if you ever heard him talk on a deep level you see the hurt in his heart for the lost.
But, like Jesus, he does not have to defend himself against people that want to destroy him. God is in control of all things, we do not have to judge or hate those that persecute us. Tony is a man of God, a disciple, teaching others much, from his insight. Does having a degree of theology, as many Priests have had, give him more credibility? If it does to you, then you must know nothing of God's love, grace and power. The 2:42 groups you speak of, breaking bread together, singing,worshiping, sharing testimonies and learning more about the Lord, in each other's homes is a closeness that is very special. They are "real" people, growing and sharing together. I was once of the mentality that you must be a fanatic if you go to church more than once a week, but have realized that is my choice, some choose to go to parties, movies, sports, whatever, does that make them a fanatic? I do what improves my life, what gives me joy, what feels right for me. Others do what they want to do, that is fine.
The people that have left to start churches in other areas were called from God to do so. They are following what they feel God has led them to do. No one has forced them to do it, no one does it because "Tony Said" It all comes from God's guidance. You don't understand this, because you are not in this place of knowing God. I had a wonderful person discipling me. We shared, she had more knowledge of the Bible than I did, and I grew tremendously. She never once tried to get me to believe a certain way. She opened up what was in the Bible, to me. Whoever is writing these derogatory statements has no real knowledge of RLC.
May God work in your life someday and you will know the truth.
