Just like the song says, “Be specific for reality / And be done with generality / if we’ll just apply Him, we will see / He’s everything to us” – Christ in Isaiah is so much, but we can experience Him so specifically for our present situation, our specific need! He’s our drink, He is […]

in nothing I will be put to shame, but in all things Christ will be magnified in my body!
This is what Paul says in Philippians 1:20, According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. This morning we were also enjoying two verses in Isaiah […]

practical points: no idol worship, flee fornication, stay away from division, and the exposing of our ambition!
This week I was considering some practical points that some brothers shared with us in the crystallization study of Isaiah(1), some points that are so exposing and yet so true. We need to enjoy the Lord every day and drink Him in as the living water by calling on His name. We also need to have […]

God is not angry with His people when they are thirsty and complain about it; rather, He cherishes and nourishes them!
This morning in my time with the Lord I was impressed again about our God – how rich, how fair, how bountiful, how loving, how kind, and how gracious God is! Our God is not angry – He takes care of His people! In Numbers 20 we see that AGAIN the people of Israel murmured […]

take the rod (apply the death of Christ to your situation) and speak to the rock(speak to Christ in faith)!
This week we’re getting into the message entitled, Drawing Water with Rejoicing from the Springs of Salvation – in the Crystallization-study of Isaiah(1).

being desperate before the Lord regarding our spiritual condition, we want to be made vital by Him – part of a vital group!
On the one hand, we are believers in the Lord pursuing Him personally, and on the other hand we are those who live a life for God’s purpose in the church life. We have seen a principle in the Bible, that is: the vital groups. We cannot just “live the church life” in a general […]
