According to Genesis 1:26, God’s eternal purpose in creating the universe and creating man was for Him to have a corporate expression in man and to have His dominion over the whole earth through man. The first man – and all the other men following him – failed God, but God Himself came to be […]
we need to be dependent on the Lord, leaning on Him and consulting Him (2011 Poland camp)
“In Christ we and God, God and we, are built together, meet together, and dwell together. This is the central though of the book of Exodus.” (from the life-study of Exodus). In the young people’s Poland camp this year the messages were on Exodus and the four crucial aspects: salvation, provision, revelation, and building. The […]
how lovely is the church, God’s dwelling place! We love being in God’s house, enjoying His presence!
The book of Psalms starts with the psalmists appreciating and uplifting the law (see Psa. 1), but God turns them again and again towards Christ – God’s heart’s desire, the precious One, the most lovely One, and the One anointed by God (see Psa. 2, 8, 16, 23, and 24).
