We can experience transfiguration in the church life today by losing our soul-life for the Lord’s sake and for the sake of the church.

Lose our Soul-life for the Lord’s Sake to Enter the Joy of the Lord at His Return
If we today lose our soul for the Lord’s sake, we will save it and gain it at the Lord’s return; at the Lord’s revelation, some believers will enter into the joy of the Lord while some will suffer in weeping and gnashing of teeth. The Bible is quite clear when it comes to […]
