Remember Kyle Lake

Yesterday in church, Kyle Lake died. Being there, seeing it, losing him made such an impact on my life. We were supposed to start our "Surprise Me, God" series that day and today I heard the author speak... he was at UBC Sunday too. I know that God wants me to do the "Surprise me, God" experiment... and for God, for Kyle, I will. So, for the next 30 days, I will begin each day by saying "Surprise me, God" and I will accept everything God throws at me and I will journal it.

Something tells me my first surprise started Sunday.


Pray for Kyle Lake's family, UBC, and the David Crowder Band. Pray for everyone who saw the tragedy. Pray to be surprised.

I read about Kyle Lake, and wrote immediately to the groups religious church building to offer insight as to the why it happened.
Baptism by immersion, firstly, is not a requirement of salvation by the Lord our God, only the religion of Baptist (I used to be a Baptist)and other 'evangelical' christian religious groups.
We don't know the heart of Kyle Lake or where he was spiritually with the Father, but what man see's on the outside and what the Lord knows on the inside, are two completely different things.
We must understand that the Lord is moving very quickly as we are about to embark on the 7 year tribulation period, He is separating the wheat from the tares, taking His own out of religion and into the truth, just as prophesied about.
His church will be pure, spotless and without blemish, spiritually speaking, and no work or act of man will force the Lord to accept us. He takes us as we are. :)
I guess all the people in that gathering where surprised, because our understanding is not the Lords and our traditions are not the Lords.
Beware the leaven of the Pharisee's (Religious people) is what the Lord warned us about. How much leaven is in UBC and the local Baptist center? Quite a bit by the looks of it.
Rely only upon the Lord your God, not man nor mans commandments and agendas, building programs, social programs etc., seek understanding only from Him.
Judgement has been declared against the two nations of Liberty, the two nations of North America that were spritual Israel but allowed His truth to be removed and out of our everyday lives.
Ancient Israel, the pattern, is Oholah, we in spiritual Israel today, are Oholibah, twice the whore as ancient Israel as we have His word to guide us and to prevent us from falling into the same traps they did. Knowing this, we gleefully did the same but we don't even ask a price for it for we are silent.
That which is built upon the shifting sand, will surely fall, yet that which is only built upon the rock of truth (Not be be misunderstood as the religion of christianity) shall stand in the shaking the Lord is doing today.
Look around you, look at all that has happened in the past year and where we're heading.
"Come out of her my people, lest you share in her sins and partake of her plagues." Rev 18:4.
That is the answer for the death of Kyle Lake. It's sad and it doesn't tickle ones ear, it's just the truth and it is indeed offensive.
His will be done, not ours.

In His Service,
Stephen R. Leach

Interesting. Seventeen errors of grammar and punctuation in one posting. I guess divine revelation doesn't have proofreading bundled with it. Comma errors galore, "Christianity" with a small c (was that deliberate?), third person verbs ("sees") with an unneeded apostrophe, "where" for "were", it never ends.

Are you implying that Kyle Lake, a man who lived for God, was killed by God to purify the church? I accept Kyle's death and I do not need to be lectured on that. Your post has offended me immensely and your image of the church, my church (UBC), is ignorant (I would rather not use that word, but this seems the proper situation). UBC is a place to praise the Lord.

The reason you give for Kyle's death is, frankly, wrong. We cannot know for sure what God's reason for taking Kyle is, however, I know that your reason is wrong for the simple reason that I know and love both Kyle and Jesus Christ. I wish you could have done the same. No, I am not implying that you do not know Jesus. I am assuming that you did not know Kyle because nobody who knew him could say such things about him.
