After reading the story of David desiring to build God a house in 2 Sam. 7 we realize that God doesn’t want our initiation but only our cooperation; He wants us to cooperate with Him. God doesn’t need us to do anything for Him – He simply wants us to stop our opinions and ideas […]

This morning I was impressed with these simple principles of the Body of Christ as unveiled in 1 Cor. 12:24, But our comely members have no need. But God has blended the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member that lacked. What does it mean that God has blended the Body together? It […]

God desires that we would just enjoy Him! We see this clearly in the picture presented at both ends of the Bible: in the beginning, in Genesis, we see a man before the tree of life, and there’s a river that waters all the garden and reaches out to the whole earth! At the end […]

being desperate before the Lord regarding our spiritual condition, we want to be made vital by Him – part of a vital group!
