On Patmos, In Spirit
“It is unfortunate that God’s children often misunderstand God’s ordained ‘Patmos.’”—Watchman Nee In a recent Wednesday ministry meeting, while commenting on the section of the good land being a land of wheat, Brother Ed Marks referred to a precious portion by Watchman Nee based on Revelation 1:9 : John was exiled to the island of […]
Exposed To Be Saved and Built Up
Marriage, which is ordained by God, is an intriguing institution. It is a picture of the relationship God wants to have with man (Rev. 21:9). And it also serves the purpose of God for man to populate the earth (Gen. 1:26). In light of God’s economy, however, marriage has an additional function – it exposes […]
Let’s Sing With and To Our Children

Submitted by: Alex (Boston, MA) I was wondering if there were any articles related to living by faith, especially in the matters of finance. Chapter 9 in bro. Nee’s biography by bro.

Whether it be preparing for a work presentation or shopping and cleaning the house for a group meeting, our time and energy are constantly being sapped. As our capacities and responsibilities increase over […]
Four Faces of Expressing Christ
Graduation season is upon us. Many saints will be leaving a familiar environment of the full-time training or college to start a new phase of life.
