I am still prayerfully considering Gal. 1:4 where Paul said that Jesus Christ gave Himself so that we may be rescued, delivered, and plucked out of the present evil age, from the present degraded religious system in Christianity. The present evil age for Paul was Judaism, which was a religion based on the holy word […]
Taking the Lead to Stand on the Unique Ground of the Church, the Ground of Oneness
Ever since the Lord Jesus was raised from the dead and became a life-giving Spirit which was both breathed into His disciples for their living and poured out upon them as power for their work, there is such a thing in this universe called, the church. God has on earth not only a group of […]
Life is the Essence of Oneness: we Keep the Oneness by Life, in Life, and with Life
