Is Living Stream Ministry the headquarters of the local churches? Do the local churches have a leader?
For decades, these kinds of questions have been asked by believers assuming that there must be some kind of hierarchical structure to the local churches. Such questions, while they may be sincere, stem from the assumption that the local churches, like other Christian groups, are upheld by human organization. In actuality, the local churches function […]
Why shouldn’t I speak or listen to negative words?
The Bible has much to say about a believer’s speech and the effects that it can have on others. For example, Proverbs 18:21a says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” and in Matthew 15:11 the Lord Jesus says, “It is not that which enters into the mouth that defiles the man; […]
As a believer, should I get involved in politics?
We are often confronted with situations where the actions of our government either suit our preferences and ideals or directly oppose them. What then should a Christian’s attitude be toward his or her government and politics in general? This is a critical question to consider especially in today’s age of political vitriol and the upcoming […]

The heart of our spiritual fathers toward us and how they have served us
In the summer of 2015, I had a particular experience that left a lasting impression on me. That summer, there was a National College Training in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. The speaking brother had just given a message on consecration, and hundreds of college students had lined up to consecrate themselves to the Lord. At the very […]
Appreciation of the leading brothers’ faithful speaking, with supporting verses
A major factor which helped usher me into the church life years ago was the faithful speaking of the leading brothers in the Lord’s recovery, speaking which wasn’t tempered by current philosophies or by what was politically in vogue. Reflecting on the recent speaking in the training on Numbers gives me a fresh appreciation of […]
Following the Star out of Jacob led me to the Lord and the Church Life
The crystallization-study of Numbers unveiled more of God’s heart to me. As the Star out of Jacob, Christ appears to those who seek Him and lead them to the house where He is. This was my experience a few years ago. I was wandering in the sadness of darkness when Christ shone on me. I […]
