The ground of the church, the genuine ground of oneness, is not merely something outward, that is, the ground of locality in which we live and meet; we need to see that the ground of the church is intrinsically related to life. The Lord doesn’t want us to keep certain forms or outward practices; everything […]
Being in the Realm of Oneness by Exercising our Spirit to be Mingled with the Spirit
There’s very much confusion today concerning the church, and it seems that most believers join the church of their preference, since there are so many options out there. But in the beginning, it was not so! We need to return to the Lord’s word in the New Testament and see the basic principle concerning the […]
Keeping the Unique Oneness of the Body of Christ on the Unique Ground of Locality
In order for us to know the church, we must first recognize the ground of the church. The one unique foundation of the church is Christ Himself, and no other foundation can anyone lay besides Christ, but the ground of the church is the practice of the oneness of the universal Body of Christ on […]
