As believers in Christ, we need to have a divine sense of value so that we may appreciate the supreme preciousness of Christ and the exceeding worth of the church. Christ is the most precious One, the most excellent One, and when we see Him, when we have a revelation of His person, we will […]
Knowing and Appreciating Christ in His Excellency and Supreme Preciousness
We need to see a vision of the excellency of Christ. Paul saw it, and for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ he considered all other things (even good things) to be refuse, so that he may gain Christ (Phil. 3:7-8). We may still treasure and desire other things today, but when Christ is […]
Being Exposed of and Delivered from the Commercial Mind, “What’s In It For Me?”
We have seen previously that God hates pure commerce – commerce is the most wicked thing on earth in God’s eyes. But we need to see further that commerce is not only something outside of us but it is part of our being – it is inside of us! We may not be outwardly involved […]

The Bible clearly shows us that Christ is everything for God’s building. First of all, Christ is the One who builds His church, His Body, as the building of God (Matt. 16:18). Christ is the foundation stone, the only foundation laid by God for His building – He upholds and supports the entire building of […]
