![When Sarah (who was 90 years old) heard that God promised Abraham that she would have a son, she laughed. Humanly it is impossible for someone that old to still conceive. [In the picture: Is anything too hard for God?]](https://i0.wp.com/mail.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nothing-is-impossible-with-god-is-anything-too-hard-for-thelord.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]
The Intrinsic Element of Our Work is to Minister God Into Others for the Body
We have seen that there’s a governing vision of the Bible, which is that God desires to work Himself into His chosen people to make them His corporate expression. Today we are on the matter of our work for God, our Christian work. What is the intrinsic element of our Christian work? Is it just to do […]
dealing with the obstacles to God’s life in us by taking care of the living Christ
The Christian life is altogether related to the living Christ in us, and the only thing that matters in our Christian life is how we take care of the living Christ in us. Christ is revealed in us (Gal. 1:16), Christ lives in us (Gal. 2:20), Christ is being formed in us (Gal. 4:19), for […]
The Heart of the Divine Revelation – an overview of the four focal books

experiencing the indwelling Christ by having Christ revealed in us, living in us, and formed in us
Praise the Lord for the book of Galatians, where we see a contrast between Christ and the law – a real contrast between Christ and religion! God gave the law for a short period of time as a guide, an instructor, to bring His people to Christ – when Christ came, the law was over! […]
all things work together for good to those who love God – give yourself to love the Lord!
I was recently encouraged by Romans 8:28 which says: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” This is a wonderful verse placed in a critical chapter in the Bible. It is critical because it is concerning our destiny! […]
being vital takes time; we need the endurance of hope that we may go on daily
Even though Paul was in prison, he still labored and struggled for all the believers whom he brought to the Lord or shepherded while he visited their respective city. In Col. 2:1 he says For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those in Laodicea, even all […]
