I too have been enlightened by Watchman Nee (and rebuked for saying so). With our baptism we enter into The Messiah, we were crucified in him and we rose with him, free of our sin nature but still waiting our new bodies.

I absolutely agree about church structure hindering God's truth.

I have no clue if your dreams are good or bad but these were my initial thoughts. Going through a gate to your childhood home is a very common yearning in man. C. S. Lewis said: "If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation...

I understand about your brother. We bungled through life taking each other for granted until he began having problems. Then it was like this great chunk of my soul was threatened. Until then I did not realize what he really meant to me. I can only offer prayers.

When Jesus began his ministry, he didn’t raise money from his friends and sail to a foreign land to rescue savages. He didn’t go to school to get a degree so He could interpret God’s words to Man. He didn’t even buy a bunch of books and study the finer nuances of religion. He didn’t join a...

Some scholars attribute formal Church governance to the Constantinian Church. Prior to that, there were Elders and Deacons but not the strong central organizations we see in todays church. There are some who claim that the Constantinian Church was a requirement for Governmental control...

The Lord is my Shepherd too! Welcome to CC.

Have no doubt marriage takes a long time to work out. Lots of tears will be shed. Someone said that, "Marriage is two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other".

I was in a grocery store today following a young mother and her tree kids as they shopped. (I do have a soft spot for Mommies who sacrifice to take care of their children). Anyway, a box of blueberries fell from their cart sending them rolling all over the floor in all directions. I wanted to...

There are also a few well-hidden followers of Christ who identify as Natsarenes or Messianic Jews (Not to be confused with Messianic Judaism). Their acts of faith are quiet, their worship private. Natsarenes believe in the entire Bible, from Genesis through Revelation and take seriously Jesus...

The very first thing you see on this video is a Pedo emblem. Please turn off children's TV!

You and your mother are in my prayers. We know her sacrifice has not been in vein, but works to some ultimate goal. Some good for her and for others. Only on that sweet day we meet our loved ones again will the truth be known. Oh how we must look forward to that day.

My heart aches for your situation. Under the best of situations marriage is difficult and requires constant sacrifice. You are the only one who can decide what you should do. Be patient. Stay in prayer. Please seek someone God centered in your life that you can talk to. Be careful with any...

Mom of eight? That's admirable! It amazes me how you can manage the chaos, I struggled with 2.

“Now sin reigns in the soul, when the soul willingly and readily obeys it, and submits to its commands, as subjects do actively obey and embrace the commands of their prince. The commands of a king are readily embraced and obeyed by his subjects—but the commands of a tyrant are embraced and...

Welcome to CC, and thank you for your sacrifice and service!

I can only guess what it is like to parent five children. For your work and sacrifice you have my deep appreciation. I cant even keep my own white socks straight!

There is an absolutely fascinating little Puritan book, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices by Thomas Brooks. It can be found at: https://puritanlibrary.com/ There are both original language and modern language versions available. It is very easy to read; you can go anywhere in the book...

Haven't read Readers Digest in years, sorry to hear they have turned. They used to be family oriented. And yes, I too have seen enough Medicare Ads and Consumer Cellular Ads to last a lifetime!

Thanks for the post. Good read!
