Praise the Lord, the Body of Christ – His continuation and extension on earth – is the fullness of Christ for His expression on earth! The function of the Body is to express Christ, for the universally great Christ needs a Body to be His fullness, His expression, and this is what we are today, […]
We need to Draw Near to God to be the Priests and Kings Ministering to Him Today
The more we draw near to God to be closer to Him as priests and kings to God, the more important we are to Him, and the more He can fulfil His purpose through us. The picture portrayed by the allotment of the land in Ezek. 48:1-35 shows that, in the restoration from Dan in […]
The Church is the issue of the Enjoyment of the Riches of Christ as the Good Land

The Psalmists lived a pious and godly life, they loved Jehovah, they walked with God, they delighted int he law of God – but in the New Testament we see a life in which we live out the Christ we enjoy and experience!
