Psalm 45 is full of the praise of Christ, and in the first eight verses we see praising Christ the King in His fairness, His victory, His kingdom, and His virtues; our Christ, the King, is more than worthy to be praised and spoken well of! He is fairer than the sons of men – […]
The Lord’s Recovery is for the Building up of the Universal Organic Body of Christ
This morning I was encouraged to realize that the Lord’s recovery is based upon the truth that Christ has only one Body, and the Lord’s recovery is for the building up of the Body of Christ and not for any particular local church or individual. The Lord’s urgent need today on earth is to gain […]

What God desires is not merely the “tabernacle church life”, that is, the many local churches with many saints who enjoy the […]
God’s Final Recovery is the Testimony of the Reality of the Body of Christ Today
The tabernacle and the temple are the center of the Old Testament and the consummation of the New Testament, and both of these typify the church.
