In the first part of chapter 4 of Ephesians we see the organic reality and the intrinsic things related to the work of the ministry (which is the building up of the Body of Christ) and in the second part of the chapter we see a picture of a life that can carry out this […]
Arriving at the Oneness in Practicality by Growing in Life Unto Maturity
January 3, 2013 by 2 Comments
How can all the Christians on the earth be one? They should be one since they all believe into the same Lord Jesus, but somehow they “hold to different views”, treasuring specific doctrines, and they are all divided. But the Lord desires to recover the oneness of the Body of Christ in practicality by our […]

As believers in Christ and as those who are burdened for the building up of the church, the Body of Christ, we need to be those who bear a sign that we are God’s people. What is the distinctive sign that we are the people of God? There must be something like a ring, a […]
