God’s purpose to head up all things in Christ through the church is being accomplished today through the growth in life into Christ, the Head, of all the members of the Body of Christ. As all believers in Christ enjoy Him, eat Him, and drink Him to grow up into Him as the Head, their […]
Having an Interwoven Fellowship with God Vertically and with the Saints Horizontally
The fellowship of life has two aspects: the vertical aspect (our fellowship with God as the Spirit) and the horizontal aspect (our fellowship with the fellow brothers and sisters in spirit).
