The shepherding that builds up the Body of Christ is mutual shepherding; we need to shepherd one another in mutuality, relying on those whom we shepherd and receiving their portion, both shepherding others and being shepherded by them so that through this mutual shepherding the church as the Body will build itself up in […]
Being Constituted with Christ to Live a Shepherding Life with an Enlarged Heart
In order for us to shepherd according to God, we need to live a shepherding life, being constituted with Christ so that our heart may be enlarged, we would live an all-fitting life, and we would cherish and nourish the flock of God with the Father’s love and the Son’s seeking spirit. The Lord […]
We need to Live God, Become God, and be One with God to Shepherd according to God
Those who shepherd the flock of God should shepherd according to God; to shepherd according to God is to become the same as God, to be one with God, and do all things in God and according to God. On one hand, we need to enjoy the Lord’s shepherding ourselves, personally, for He is […]
Saved from Religion and Contact Christ in our Spirit (2023 Fall Uni Conference)
This conference showed me that all God desires is only CHRIST! In Galatians 1:4, Paul showed us that the Lord gave His life for us to rescue us from the present evil age. But what is this present evil age? The present evil age refers to things that usurp, occupy, and distract us from the […]

Christ Dwells in us and We Remain in Him (2023 Autumn Uni Conference)
There was much to appreciate about this year’s Autumn University Conference: meeting old friends, making new ones, campfires and hymns to the Lord, an informative Q&R session, and a lesson in humility in chess. However, my foremost enjoyment from the conference is our relationship with Christ, and more particularly Christ within us. God does not […]
Contact the Lord and Live in Spirit to Live Christ according to the Pattern of Jesus
![Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers. Rom. 8:29](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Because-those-whom-He-foreknew-He-also-predestinated-to-be-conformed-to-the-image-of-His-Son-jpg.webp?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1)
When we love the Lord, contact the Lord, and live in spirit, we spontaneously live Christ according to the pattern of Jesus as seen in the Gospels. As believers in Christ, we are learning Christ as the reality is in Jesus; as we love the Lord, contact Him, pray to Him and live in […]
