Are you satisfied with just having a salvation for when you die?  What about your daily life? Such a salvation is not enough to overcome the difficulties of human life. It’s definitely good to know that you won’t perish in the lake of fire, but that doesn’t help very much when you’re in today’s difficult

Overflowing on the Focus of the Lord’s Recovery

This post is a brief overflow of my enjoyment from a recent Thanksgiving Conference in San Jose, California on the Subject of “The Focus of the Lord’s Recovery.” I am reminded of the Lord’s gathering of the broken pieces of bread, the abundance of His rich feeding (John 6:12-13). Twelve baskets were left over, the

A Deeper Appreciation for Thanksgiving—Not just a Day but a Living

Thanksgiving—to many Americans evokes the thought of a major holiday, long considered “turkey day”—a day for food, family, and football. Very little consideration, if any, is given to the significance, importance, or practice of “giving thanks.” What intrinsically is “giving thanks”?

The Indwelling Christ and His Wonderful Indwelling

The Four Crucial Elements of the Bible There are four crucial elements of the Bible—Christ, the Spirit, life and the church. These four are the essential, fundamental, and ultimate elements that characterize the Bible.

Christ Our Physician, Bridegroom, New Wine, and Shepherd

Today I have an uplifted appreciation for six items of the unsearchable riches of Christ revealed in Matthew 9. Christ is our Physician and Bridegroom, the unfulled cloth to make the new garment, the new wine to fill the new wineskin, and the Shepherd. So in this post we’ll consider the  wonderful progression of the

Enjoying Christ as the Light of Life, the Baptizer and the Son of Man

Today, I freshly appreciated the all-inclusive Christ in Matthew as the light of life, the Baptizer and the Son of Man. To me, it is not sufficient to merely know the teaching that Christ is such an all-inclusive Person. Rather, I desire to see Him, experience Him and enjoy Him as such a One through

The All-inclusive Christ in the Gospel of Matthew

There are four crucial elements in the Bible—Christ, the Spirit, life and the church. To properly develop any Biblical truth, we should do it according to these crucial elements.
