Beginning a new year should cause us to consider the course of our life—what lessons we have learned from the previous year and what we should focus on in the year ahead. Yet, for believers in Christ, there is something more than resolutions, more than a desire for personal progress or even spiritual growth. With us

“But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.” (John 19:34) God does not just want to save you from hell by Christ’s redeeming blood. His purpose is much higher than that. In saying this, I am by no means depreciating the value of the

Do you ever find it difficult to pray? Do you ever sense a lack of heartfelt fellowship with God? I know that I do. And I’m sure that I’m not alone. I believe that most of us experience some difficulty in entering into intimate fellowship with the Lord. We just don’t know how to spend

In my last post, Knowing the Church as the Organism of the Triune God, I pointed out that the genuine church is not a man-made organization, but a God-produced organism. This organism is a structure of the mingling of Triune God with all the believers in Christ (Eph. 4:4-6). When we really see the vision of this

Have you ever considered what the real meaning of “the church” is? Since the church is something that has its source in the heart of God, we should really make His Word the yardstick for the truth concerning the church. We should hold to the truth and let the word of God preside. By aligning

The Bible is a book of life (Gen. 2:9; Psa. 36:8-9; John 10:10b; Rev. 22:14), so we need to focus on life whenever we come to its pages. At its beginning, you can see the beautiful garden of Eden with the tree of life at its center (Gen. 2:9). The only other tree mentioned by

Before reading this post, you may want to ask yourself this question, “What is the kingdom of God?” You might have considered that a “kingdom” implies a person with authority to rule and with a defined territory or domain. You might also have considered that “God’s kingdom” refers to His sovereign authority over everyone and

Have you ever asked yourself if there is a meaning to life? I believe that you, like most other thoughtful people have, at some time, posed this question to yourself, your friends, or even to God Himself. You may have considered further if there is more to life than finding a fitting vocation, a compatible

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

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
