Just as the holy anointing oil in Exo. 30 was to anoint the tabernacle with all the things and persons related to it, so the anointing is for the Body; we need to be in the Body, functioning in our measure and being related to the saints the Lord put us with, to enjoy the […]
An Ambassador of Christ is Constrained by the Love of Christ and Serves God in Spirit
An ambassador of Christ is constrained by the love of Christ and has the sole ambition of being pleasing to God, serving God in spirit and in the Body of Christ.
