On the negative side, we need to avoid division (which is versus the oneness that we keep) and reject apostasy (which is versus the faith that we contend for); on the positive side we need to keep the oneness and earnestly contend for the faith. With respect to divisions, we need to keep the oneness […]
We Earnestly Contend for the Faith and Build up ourselves upon this most Holy Faith
We Elevate Christ Alone and we Separate ourselves from Heresy in the Church Life
Our God hates division and apostasy (heresy); in the church life we must elevate Christ and Christ alone, and we must be exercised to separate ourselves from any heresy (apostasy) and heretics (apostates). What God wants is that His people would be one (and not divided) and that they would stand in the truth and […]
For the Preservation of the all-inclusive Oneness we must Destroy all the High Places
For the recovery and preservation of the genuine, all-inclusive oneness, we must destroy the high places and stay away from division and divisive things.

This week in our crystallization study of Deuteronomy we […]
The Church today is God’s House for His Expression and God’s City for His Dominion
God’s purpose is fulfilled in the church as the God’s house and the God’s city; His house speaks of His dwelling place for His expression, and His city speaks of His representation with His authority in His kingdom. The issue of our enjoyment of the all-inclusive riches of Christ – the reality of the good […]
