Church Life Links

This is a small compilation of spiritual links that, I think, would encourage all of us in our Christian walk.

We all realize how much we need to read the Word of God, pray over it, and also have access to the proper interpretation of the Word – which “betrothes” us to Christ, makes us love Him and His Word more, and opens the mysteries of God’s economy to us.

Some of the websites where you can find spiritual nourishment – are listed below.

Quotes by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee

• Witness Lee – a bondslave of Jesus Christ, website introducing the life and service of brother Lee. Witness Lee’s ministry emphasizes the experience of Christ as life and the practical oneness of the believers as the Body of Christ. Stressing the importance of attending to both these matters, he led the churches under his care to grow in Christian life and function. He was unbending in his conviction that God’s goal is not narrow sectarianism but the Body of Christ. In time, believers began to meet simply as the church in their localities in response to this conviction. These local churches were soon established throughout all the Western hemisphere. In recent years a number of new churches have been raised up in Russia and in many eastern European countries.
• Watchman Nee – a seer of the divine revelation. A website introducing the life and service of brother Nee. Watchman Nee became a Christian in mainland China in 1920 at the age of seventeen and began writing in the same year. Throughout the nearly thirty years of his ministry, Watchman Nee was clearly manifested as a unique gift from the Lord to His Body for His move in this age. In 1952 he was imprisoned for his faith; he remained in prison until his death in 1972. His words remain an abundant source of spiritual revelation and supply to Christians throughout the world.
• Watchman Nee facebook page by some saints who love the Lord and enjoy the ministry and writings of Watchman Nee; excerpts for spiritual edification posted weekly there.
• Witness Lee facebook page by some saints who have been helped by the ministry of Witness Lee; there are periodical excerpts posted, helpful for our growth in the divine life.

Defense and Confirmation of the Truth

Very informative.
• Shepherding Words from the co-workers in the Lord’s recovery in North America. This site contains short articles that present principles that should govern our attitudes in and practice of the church life and that give factual accounts that address various rumors that have arisen over the years regarding the local churches and the ministry of God’s word through Brothers Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.
• A faithful word – Titus 1:9 – Holding to the faithful word, which is according to the teaching of the apostles, that he may be able both to exhort by the healthy teaching and to convict those who oppose. In 1986 Brother Lee issued a clear call for all of the serving ones participating in the ministry and leadership among the churches in the Lord’s recovery to be restricted in one publication. At the same time, he made it clear that we should not receive or reject any individual saint or local church based on whether or not they accept this practice. Visit this website to find out more about quarantine, articles, statements, reports, and correspondence.
• lctestimony.org consists of two kinds of material. First, there are documents that have issued from dialogues that representatives of the local churches and Living Stream Ministry have had with leading theologians and apologetics ministries.

• An Open Letter from the local churches and Living Stream Ministry concerning the teachings of Witness Lee – Over the past nine decades the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee has edified believers in Christ and produced local churches on all six inhabited continents. The ministry of these two servants of God, which is published by Living Stream Ministry (LSM), stands upon the shoulders of the many great Christian teachers of the past to present both the broad span and the spiritual depths of the New Testament truths, particularly from the perspective of the believers knowing and experiencing Christ as their life for the building up of the church as the Body of Christ. The resilience of the churches produced through their ministry is exemplified by the believers in China, who have proven steadfast and have flourished in the face of decades of extreme persecution, as well as by hundreds of local churches in North America that have faithfully persevered and spread despite nearly forty years of intense opposition.
