In our Christian life we are those who love the Lord and enjoy Him, focusing on the wonderful divine life in us. This is what we desire – to grow in life and mature in life. On the other hand though, as we see it in the Bible, we also want to gain the reward […]
in nothing I will be put to shame, but in all things Christ will be magnified in my body!
This is what Paul says in Philippians 1:20, According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. This morning we were also enjoying two verses in Isaiah […]
practical points: no idol worship, flee fornication, stay away from division, and the exposing of our ambition!
This week I was considering some practical points that some brothers shared with us in the crystallization study of Isaiah(1), some points that are so exposing and yet so true. We need to enjoy the Lord every day and drink Him in as the living water by calling on His name. We also need to have […]

Today I was reminded of the fact that most of the problems and murmurings in the church life are due to the shortage of the Spirit of life. The people of Israel […]

Christ as light brings in life, and His shining in us daily saves us, rescues us, and delivers us
This morning I was encouraged to see that every day we need to come to the Lord and spend time with Him for Him to shine on us – and this shining is saving us and rescuing us / delivering us! Christ is the Great Light (Isaiah 9:1-5), the true light (John 1:9), the light […]
