Quote of the Day

"...Our blessed Lord Himself was for our sakes crucified through weakness. There is nothing wrong in feeling weak. We are not meant to suppress all human emotions until we end up frigid as ice. ... No, we must rather allow God's Spirit to make His own use of our emotions. Of course He must be in command." (Watchman Nee)

Quote of the Day

"Why do you believe that the Lord Jesus died? What is your ground for that belief? Is it that you feel he had died? No, you have never felt it. You believe it because the Word of God tells you so. ... Now, what about your own death? ... It does not depend on your feelings. You can know it is so for the one sufficient reason that God has said it is so. That Christ has died is a fact, that the two thieves have died is a fact, and that you have died is a fact also. The self you loathe is on the cross in Christ! And ' he that is dead is freed from sin'!" (Watchman Nee)

Quote of the Day

"O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." (Matthew 26:39)

"Since it was to do the will of God He came, we may feel it strange that the Lord Jesus should have prayed this prayer. Yet it brings to light an important distinction. Evidently it was possible for Him to pray that the cup might be removed from Him, while it was certainly unthinkable that He should ask to be excused from doing the Father's will. The cup is, so to say, secondary to that will. It represents the thing through which the divine will finds expression- in this case the death of the cross. The Lord Jesus was wholly taken up, not with His passion as such, but with the design it fulfilled. He drank the cup because it was His Father's will, not because it was the cup. For Jesus 'the cup' was something He shrank from; for us it more often represents something we would hold on to. Our great danger may be to hold dogmatically to some 'thing' associated with the divine plan for us. Every cup, however divinely appointed, should be held to very loosely. It is not that which claims us supremely, but the present will of our Father." (Watchman Nee)

Quote of the Day

" So then death worketh in us, but life in you." (II Cor. 4:12)

" You ask... how you can be used to minister life to others. Not by setting out to do a lot of things, nor yet by going into retirement and doing nothing at all, but simply by letting the power of His death and resurrection operate in the course of your walk with God." (Watchman Nee)
