When we Love the Lord and Enjoy Him as the Tree of Life, we Shine as His Testimony
When we give the Lord Jesus the preeminence in all things and recover the loss of the first love, we enjoy Him as the tree of life and shine with Him to be the lampstand, the testimony of Jesus. Amen! Eating the tree of life, that is, enjoying Christ as our life and life […]
Eat the Tree of Life to be Dependent on God, and Saved from Independence and Rebellion

To live by faith, following in the steps of Abraham’s faith, we need to fight for the brother by interceding for them and ministering life to them; we minister life to others by shepherding others according to God, by cherishing and nourishing them.

We Live by Faith by Fighting for the Brother as a Response to Christ’s Interceding
For us as believers in Christ to live by faith as Abraham did, we need to be those fighting for the brother as a response to Christ’s interceding for us and saving us in His life. On one hand, we need to follow in the steps of that faith of Abraham by living the […]
Live the Tent Life in the Church Life waiting for the New Jerusalem, our Real Country

As believers in Christ, we are sojourners on earth living the tent life in the church life as the reality of the Tent of Meeting, and we’re waiting for its ultimate consummation, the New Jerusalem. If we fail and forsake the altar and the tent, we can simply return to the Lord, have His […]
