To shepherd according to God (1 Pet. 5:2) requires that we become one with God, we are constituted with God, we live God, we represent God, and we minister God. We can shepherd according to God only by becoming the same as He is in life, nature, expression, and function. First, we need to be […]

August 22, 2015 by 1 Comment
As believers in Christ, the goal of our Christian practice and of our Christian living is to live the life of a God-man, the same kind of life that the Lord Jesus lived when He was on earth.
