It is not easy being a Church of God self-appointed prophet

 


LCG On Agape Love

Doug Winnail has the following up about "agape love".

What the World Needs Now: Bible prophecy reveals that “in the last days perilous times will come” because people will be selfish, materialistic, proud, unthankful, unloving, and brutal (2 Timothy 3:1–5). Our world today is angry and increasingly violent, which only engenders more strife and hurt. What the world needs now—as a song title goes—is love! Real love—agape—is an unselfish, outgoing concern for others. This kind of love does not envy or hate, but is patient, forgiving, kind, and caring (see 1 Corinthians 13). Godly love is one of the fruits of God’s Holy Spirit, and it promotes peace of mind and peace between human beings (Galatians 5:22–23). The Scriptures remind us that “the whole creation” is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the sons and daughters of God, “who have the firstfruits of the Spirit” (Romans 8:19–24; 2 Corinthians 6:18). These loving and caring leaders will rule with Jesus Christ in the coming Kingdom of God. Let’s prepare to be there.
Have a profitable Sabbath,
Douglas S. Winnail

Given the task record of Rod Meredith while in the Worldwide Church of God and his heavyhanded mistreatment of members and ministers, is it possible to look towards the Living Church of God or even any Church of God as standard bearers of agape love? 

Does Gerald Weston practice it? Does Gerald Flurry? What about Dave Pack? What about Bob Thiel? All of these guys seem to be in a constant state of anger, lashing out at everyone and everything every time they open their mouths. 

From Herbert Armstrong and on down through the ministry to today's splinter leaders, none exemplified agape love. United Church of God is no better than Flurry, Pack, or Thiel.

How can we ever trust these guys to be 'loving and caring rulers' with Christ in some mythical kingdom to come when they are so abusive in this age?
