As believers in Christ, we were born again by the grace of God, and now we need to grow in grace by enjoying all that Christ is to us as our spiritual food and living water. We are like Isaac: he was born through grace and he was also grown up in grace (Gen. 21:8). […]
The Testimony of Jesus is the Bridal Army (Rev. 19) and the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21)
This week we have been tracing the eight main aspects of the church as the testimony of Jesus through the book of Revelation. We have seen that the testimony of Jesus is the golden lampstands, the great multitude, the universal bright woman with the man-child, the firstfruits and the harvest, the overcomers on the glassy […]
Overcoming the Worldliness in the Degraded Church by Eating Christ as the Hidden Manna
Only the Lord sees and knows our real situation and our true condition. Christ as the High Priest is constantly walking (not running, but walking) among the local churches, He sees their situation, and He speaks a specific word to each of the churches. Through His speaking to the churches, the Lord trims away anything […]
Seeing the Patterns of the People on the Line of the Tree of Life in the Bible
Due to Adam’s fall, God closed the way to the tree of life, and apparently throughout the ages people couldn’t eat of it….but actually, if you read the Bible carefully you will notice that there have been many who were on the line of life and were enjoying the tree of life in their daily […]
qualifications of a genuine church: the church of God enjoying grace upon grace!
One particular aspect I was encouraged with is that a genuine church accepts and welcomes everyone who calls on the name of the Lord – who is THEIRS and OURS! Jesus Christ belongs to and is in all the believers, and He is our all-inclusive portion – we are those who call on the name of the Lord in every place! Oh, Lord Jesus! We flee youthful lusts and pursue with those who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22). Wherever we are – at home, at work, cooking in the kitchen, walking on the street, shopping, driving, traveling, resting, working, playing sports, jogging, etc – we CALL on the name of the Lord, who is OURS!

Being a Christian Student on the Campus – every moment we can choose to love the Lord!
How do we balance the Christian life and church life with our student life? I too, was wondering what’s the answer to this question. As students, I think, we all go “through this tunnel” and we all “cross this bridge”. Sometimes I struggle between trying to figure out whether I should go to the meetings, the Bible studies, etc. or whether I should stay home and study [continue reading online[
Being a Christian Student on the Campus – normal students who enjoy the Lord
When I first hit university, my initial thought was that I also want to be like the serving ones on campus, preaching the gospel, getting into the truth and enjoy the Lord with others 24/7. That was when reality (no pun intended) hit me: How can I be a student and still enjoy the Lord? I cannot just enjoy the Lord because then I fail my exams, and I cannot just study because then I do not enjoy the Lord and I become dry. How do you balance the two?
