In our study of the Bible and particularly in our study of the book of Psalms we need to realize that the spirit of the Bible is to exalt Christ. This needs to become real to us – throughout the Bible and particularly in the Psalms, what we see as being “the spirit of the […]
Lord, I’m only for You! I want to be part of Your army, Your Bride! (2011 Poland camp)
The Poland camp was simply amazing! The title was ‘Crucial aspects of God’s economy in Exodus’. Exo. 19:4-5 says, You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you […]
we need to be dependent on the Lord, leaning on Him and consulting Him (2011 Poland camp)
“In Christ we and God, God and we, are built together, meet together, and dwell together. This is the central though of the book of Exodus.” (from the life-study of Exodus). In the young people’s Poland camp this year the messages were on Exodus and the four crucial aspects: salvation, provision, revelation, and building. The […]

What a wonderful Christ! But […]

the central thought of the book of Psalms is Christ and the church as the house and the city of God
Praise the Lord for the book of the Psalms! Just like most believers, I also love this book – every psalm brings me closer to God. It is so sweet to read psalms and love the Lord more, or at least to be ministered to in the situation or condition you’re in… According to our […]
the key to our living and service in the Body of Christ depends on the law of the Spirit of life
The Body of Christ as the organism of the Triune God has a living and a service which is organic and corporate – all the members of the Body of Christ live together by taking Christ as life (Col. 3:3-4), and also all the members care for one another (1 Cor. 12:25-27). What I realize […]
