Last count, there were 27 different nationalities represented in the Lighthouse Church in Kuwait. It is a totally unique experience because there are so many different cultural and doctrinal beliefs. I believe health and doctrine go hand in hand. That being said, I also believe that a Church in Kuwait is a miracle of God. Even though, I don't agree with some of the doctrine, I have learned to regard these brothers and sisters precious in the sight of the Lord. I thank God for worshiping Him with saints from so many countries. The first couple I met were Calvinists. My pastor, Mark Ingram, says he is a 4 and a half point Calvinist. So far, these are the only Calvinists I know of. But the absolute Sovereignty of God is being taught in Bible studies and small groups. We went through Trusting God by Jerry Bridges not too long ago.
For a better understanding of what is happening, here is the address to a blog from one who is in a leadership position at the Church:
Interesting to see...
