Paul says in Romans 12:5 that we are “members one of another” in the Body. We are certainly familiar with this phrase, and with the principle that Paul sets also forth in his letter of love to the church in Corinth. However the situation was in Corinth, with many distractions, difficulties and even damaging aspects […]
The Dispensing of the Triune God as Life according to His Righteousness, through His Holiness and unto His Glory
Hallelujah for God’s economy – the dispensing of the Triune God as life (zoe)! The Triune God dispenses Himself as life (zoe) into man so that His divine attributes of righteousness, holiness and glory may become man’s human virtues, with the righteousness, holiness and glory as attributes of zoe.

God’s move today is related to man; He moves in man and with man
If we read Genesis, we see that God created all things – He didn’t need anyone to help Him do this. He simply spoke things into being. But when it comes to the New Testament, in the Gospels, we see that God Himself became a man and did everything in man and through man! God’s […]
