The Word of God is so rich, so full of illustrations and examples of our organic union with the Lord, and also it is so encouraging! This morning I especially enjoyed these three aspects concerning our relationship with the Lord: In John 15 we see that we are branches in Christ the vine – we […]
in nothing I will be put to shame, but in all things Christ will be magnified in my body!
This is what Paul says in Philippians 1:20, According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. This morning we were also enjoying two verses in Isaiah […]
although we have been positioned to drink of the Spirit, we need to be thirsty for God to drink of Him!
Many times we think that God wants some super-hard-and-complicated things from us to do for Him, and so we feel really powerless…. even to “express God in all that He is” – by and in ourselves – seems so impossible and unattainable!

as the ones built up with the saints in our locality as the church, we are the light of the world
Hallelujah for Matthew 5:14, which says, You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city situated upon a mountain to be hidden.
