today in the church life we’re taking the lead to be headed up in Christ in all things by growing in the divine life

November 13, 2010 by aGodMan 2 Comments

This morning I was encouraged by this verse in Eph. 1:10 which says, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him. God’s desire is to head up all things in Christ. The whole universe, […]

In the church life, in the practical Body life, there are all ages for the Lord’s testimony – young ones, children, young adults, middle-aged saints, and older saints. Especially in the world and mainly related to position and ambition, there is much friction between the different generations – but to have dissensions between the younger […]

What is the Lord’s recovery? It’s the recovery of the enjoyment of Christ and the practice of the church life

May 13, 2010 by aGodMan 3 Comments

The primary and crucial aspect of the Lord’s recovery is to recover the dispensing of the Triune God as life (“Zoe” – the divine, eternal, incorruptible, indestructible, uncreated life of God) into His redeemed people in order that He may be fully expressed on the earth. In order to recover this God must have a […]

enjoying the God revealed in Romans, the progressive revelation of God in the book of Romans

March 16, 2010 by aGodMan 6 Comments

These days we’re going through the book of Romans, especially considering the Gospel of God in Romans. In this book we can see a progressive revelation of God – seeing our God in at least 12 aspects related to us/His salvation/His plan. The book of Romans shows us how fallen sinners under God’s condemnation can […]

just as in Paul’s case, it should matter to the church whether we live or die

December 19, 2009 by aGodMan 1 Comment

Paul was a normal Christian: one who lived Christ, magnified Christ, ministered Christ, and infused Christ into others. Whether he was travelling and preaching the gospel/strengthening the saints/the churches, or whether he was in prison: he simply magnified the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:20)! In all he did/said the others saw Christ living in him […]

our gospel preaching must be our living, and this should be normal

The Lord’s commission in Matt. 28:19 is to go into all the world and disciple all the nations; His promise in Acts 1:8 about the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples also says that “you will be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part […]

our Christian life is a life of preaching the gospel by loving one another

December 14, 2009 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

Until the Lord comes, since we are saved, we preach the gospel through our living, our attitude, our words – our very Christian life is a preaching of the gospel. Actually, according to Paul’s word in Phil 1:5-6, it is Christ who does this good work of preaching the gospel. Christ preaches the gospel in […]
