One thing i want to add to what i said. When I said "idolatry is never winked at, there is always harsh punishment for that," think about it, all of us have endured years of harsh punishment, we brought it on ourselves. Many people in the Living Word Fellowship have lived long enough to finally get booted out of the Walk and have their children shun them, and remember back when they shunned their own parents a generation before, when they left the Walk.
It is a hard pill to swallow to know that you have rejected a walk with the Lord of Lords in favor of having some egomaniac lord it over you.
The Lord does not just wait for a chance to punish, in fact, He waits for every opportunity to restore, if people will come to their senses. It is not the "God in the sky" that threatens and accuses, and intimidates. It is the "God in the sky" that calls out, "COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE."
