We need a clear vision of the all-inclusive, extensive Christ being everything to us; such a vision will terminate the influence of culture on the experience of Christ and on the church life, for we will focus on enjoying Christ, taking Christ as our life, and living Christ, instead of living by our culture. We […]
The Constituent of the New Man is the All-inclusive, Extensive Christ Replacing Culture
Unconsciously, every person on earth is under the influence of his culture; when we came into the church life, we brought our culture with us, and this culture undermines our enjoyment of Christ and the church life, hence we need the all-inclusive, extensive Christ to replace our culture. This week we come to the matter […]
The Christian Life is a Life of Living Christ all the Time, and not Living our Culture
Hallelujah, the Christian life is a life of living Christ – all the time – and not living our culture. By the Lord’s mercy, we can see that our culture is a substitute for Christ, for we live our culture instead of living Christ; however, we should not “drop our culture” but live Christ, and […]
When the All-inclusive Christ is Everything to us, we Live Christ and not our Culture
![[Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn of all creation. Col. 1:15](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Christ-is-the-image-of-the-invisible-God-the-Firstborn-of-all-creation.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1)

As we grow up in this world, as we develop our skills, get trained, get a […]
The Culture within us is Spontaneously replaced by the Christ we Enjoy and Experience
The culture within us is spontaneously replaced by the Christ whom we enjoy, experience, and gain. As believers in Christ who have received Christ, we should not allow culture to be a substitute for Him; rather, we need to enjoy Christ, experience Christ, and live Christ, learning in a practical way to take Christ as […]
We are daily Learning to Live According to Christ and not According to our Culture
When we say that Christ is versus culture, we are not saying that we should drop our culture and live without any culture whatsoever; rather, we need to live according to Christ by enjoying the all-inclusive, extensive Christ and allowing Him to replace every part of our culture. Culture is necessary, for it preserves us […]
God’s Intention is to Work Himself into us and to Build Himself into our Being
God’s unique intention, His central work, is to work Himself into us and to build Himself into our being, making Himself our inward elements and becoming our life, our nature, and our constitution so that we may become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. Wow! This is God’s economy, and only […]
