Hallelujah for the types, figures, and pictures in the Old Testament! They are all showing us in detail how our experience of Christ for the church is, and even the failures of the Old Testament seeking saints / the people of Israel are a type of how we also fail + go on in our […]
God resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble! May the Lord shine on us and save us from pride!
We don’t really know what is in us until the light shines and exposes us. The Lord sovereignly arranges people and situations around us to help us grow in life, and one major part of our growth comes from the shining of the light! He shines on us in the Word, He shines on us […]
Christ as the Stone-Savior is also the cornerstone to join us and build us up together in God’s building
The stone that the builders rejected – Christ – has become the head of the corner (Psa. 118:22): Christ as the stone rejected and despised by the Jewish builders/people has become the cornerstone to join together the Jews and the Gentiles into one Body, the Body of Christ!

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 […]

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). Today I was reminded of the fact that most of the problems and murmurings in the church life are due to the shortage of the Spirit of life. The people of Israel […]
