Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit – a very common symptom indeed among God’s children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.
WATCHMAN NEE -
It is important to receive God’s arrangement in the circumstances. This arrangement is the discipline of the Holy Spirit. To escape God’s arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged. A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men’s sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe. I die believing in Christ.

WATCHMAN NEE -
Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.
WATCHMAN NEE -

WATCHMAN NEE -
How easily we make things as way, truth, and life. Or, we call hot atmosphere as life, we label clear thought as life.
WATCHMAN NEE -
We must not pay attention just to reading and studying; rather, we should ask if we are open before the Lord. If we do not have an unveiled face, the glory of the Lord will not shine on us. If our heart is not open to God, God cannot give us any light.
WATCHMAN NEE -
A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
WATCHMAN NEE -
We think of the Christian life as a ‘changed life’ but it is not that. What God offers us is an ‘exchanged life,’ a ‘substituted life,’ and Christ is our Substitute within.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Repentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better.
