Dear saints, let us pray that the trainees would be transformed in their character to be useful to the Lord in His service (Rom. 12:2; 2 Tim. 2:15, 21; 4:11; Philem. 1:11). We must receive some amount of transformation in what we are in our character. Humanly speaking, our character may have been very much […]
Serving God by Burning in Spirit with the Fire of God’s Life, not with Strange Fire
December 17, 2015 by 1 Comment
As believers in Christ, we should live according to the principle of the tree of life, that is, we should depend on the Lord.
