Dear rrmoderator and [b:d1e9fc3338]all [/b:d1e9fc3338]
[u:d1e9fc3338]I repent for having a haughty and angry attitude towards the leadership at Radiant Life.[/u:d1e9fc3338]
[u:d1e9fc3338]I have used this platform to vent out my frustrations and in doing so I have caused more hurt and broken relationships. I am sorry and I ask you for your forgiveness.[/u:d1e9fc3338]
I would like to say openly before all who read this posting that [b:d1e9fc3338]God is in control. [/b:d1e9fc3338]
My prayer is that there would be reconciliation in the church at large and at Radiant Life Church.
I would like to ask everyone who is reading the following questions;
Have you seen a church repent and turn back?
And if so what did it look like?
What would it look like if a church repented?
Would it be an immediate change or would it be a long process?
Would the ones who have been hurt be able to accept those and extending forgiveness?
Would they be able to forgive and reconcile the broken relationships?
What if a pastor asked me for forgiveness?
Would I be able to receive him with tears and a party would I be able to extend the same loving Grace that the Lord extends to me?
What would it look like to see a church like Radiant Life realized that they are looking like bits and pieces of the 7 churches mentioned in Revelation chapters 2 & 3. Churches like Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea all found themselves with a harsh rebuke from the Lord.
What would it look like today if a letter like this came to each one of us?
How would we react?
If we repented, would others follow? Or would there be fractions and divisions that would reject the rebuke and make it hard for the church to turn back to their first love (Jesus).

God Uses suffering to mature the humble as they come under his influence and obey his truth.
I believe we are on the edge of something changing in the church and it is a good thing.
Repentance is springing up. [u:d1e9fc3338]Jesus did not call any of the 7 churches a cult nor did he sentence them to hell. [/u:d1e9fc3338] My prayer is that there would be repentance and reconciliation in the church at Radiant Life Church and the Christian church at large.
