The basic principle of the church is that the church is universal and eternal, so the church must spread constantly on earth; the book of Acts in particular speaks of the spreading of the church. When we speak of the spreading of the church we need to realise that this is not something of organisation […]
The Church is Spreading on earth by the Growth and Flowing out of the Lord’s Life
Preaching the Gospel of Christ as the Stone-Savior for the Church as God’s Building
In Acts 4:10-12 Peter proclaimed Christ as the Stone-Savior; we need to preach the gospel of Christ as the Stone-Savior for God’s building. Our commission is not just to preach the gospel of grace for people to be saved and go to heaven…. Rather, as we see Peter doing, we need to know, enjoy, and […]
Learning to Shepherd others according to God’s Desire out of Love for the Lord Jesus
This week in our prayerful consideration of propagating Christ we come to the matter of, Shepherding the Flock of God according to God by Being Patterns of the Flock, and today in particular we want to see what it means to shepherd according to God’s desire.

Enjoying and Witnessing the All-inclusive Christ as the Author of Life and God’s Servant
The Christ we witness for His propagation is the all-inclusive Christ, and this One is the Author of life, the holy and righteous One, and the Servant of God. How do we witness Christ? On one hand we witness Him by our living, by living Christ, living by the Spirit. But this is not all. […]

The book of Acts reveals a group of people who live in the divine history within human history by continuing steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word; they enjoyed Christ and became evangelists for the spreading of the gospel, being “loaded with Christ” as they went out. The disciples in Acts were […]
