Watchman Nee

THE MEANING AND VALUE OF ROMANS SEVEN

Watchman NeeWe must return now to our study of Romans. We broke off at the end of chapter 6 in order to consider two related subjects, namely, God's eternal purpose, which is the motive and goal of our walk with Him, and the Holy Spirit, who supplies the power and resource to bring us to that goal. We come now ... Read More

The Widow

Watchman NeeThis widow was helpless. The word widow shows her isolated situation. The husband on whom she depended for her living was gone, and she had become a widow. This is a good representation of a Christian on earth. Our Lord Jesus has ascended to the heavens. As far as the flesh goes, Christians are help... Read More

(Finding God's Will) 3. Guidance through the inner witness

Zac PoonenWhen we come to the subject of the means by which God guides us, we must bear in mind that Biblical principles are more important than the experiences of even godly men and women. God is not limited to work in any pattern we lay down. He is Sovereign and may at times choose to use the miraculous ins... Read More

(Knowing God's Way) 21. Understanding The Truth Accurately

Zac PoonenWe are commanded in the Scriptures to pay close attention to ourselves and to our teaching, for only thus can we ensure salvation for ourselves and for those we preach to (1 Tim.4:16).

(Living As Jesus Lived) 9. The Bride Of Christ

Zac PoonenIn the closing pages of Scripture, we find the result of the Holy Spirit's work - the Bride of Christ. We also see there the result of Satan's counterfeit work - the Harlot church.

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 17. Signs that point to the return of Christ

Zac PoonenThe world has never been the same since 1939. Something happened at that time that started a chain reaction in many areas that will end only with the second coming of Christ. Jesus said that no one but the Father knew the exact day and hour when He would return. But He also said that it would be pos... Read More

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 20. Our distinctive calling as a church

Zac PoonenWhat is our distinctive calling as a church in the different localities in our country where God has placed us? There are at least seven areas where our emphasis is to be different from what is currently the norm in much of Christendom, if we are to be uncompromisingly true to God's Word. 1. Not Gre...

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 22. The church and tribulation

Zac PoonenWe are told in Ephesians 3:10 that in the new covenant, God desires to manifest His wisdom through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

Zac PoonenWe are commanded in the Scriptures to pay close attention to ourselves and to our teaching, for only thus can we ensure salvation for ourselves and for those we preach to (1 Timothy 4:16).

(The Final Triumph) 19. Chapter 19

Zac PoonenVerses 1, 2: After these things I heard, as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying 'Hallelujah! salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, an...
