The Church is Spreading on earth by the Growth and Flowing out of the Lord’s Life

The basic principle of the church is that the church is universal and eternal, so the church must spread constantly on earth; the book of Acts in particular speaks of the spreading of the church. When we speak of the spreading of the church we need to realise that this is not something of organisation […]

Drink the Word to Grow and be Transformed to be Living Stones for God’s Building

If we read John 1:42 and Matt. 16:18 we will realise that both Christ and the believers are living stones for God’s building, and that God’s goal is to have a spiritual house built up with living stones. Yes, Christ is the living stone, and we are born as men of clay, but through regeneration, […]

The more we Grow in Life, the more we are Headed up in Christ by His Life and Light

In Exodus 30:1-10 we see a revelation of the golden incense altar, and in 11-16 we see something called “the expiation silver”. There must be a reason that these records are placed so close together: there must be a connection between the incense altar with the intercession of Christ, and what is described for the […]

Enjoying the Blessing of Light becoming Life through the Function of the Word of God

The function of the word of God is the operation of God Himself, and when we come to God’s word as His loving seekers, we receive God’s blessing. The Lord is training us to be His loving seekers, those pure in heart and single in focus only for Him, so that we may enjoy the […]
