Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
WATCHMAN NEE -
The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.
WATCHMAN NEE -
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
WATCHMAN NEE -
We consider strong emotion or outward conduct as life. In reality, though, these are not life. We ought to realize that only the Lord is life. Christ is our life. And it is the Lord who lives out this life in us.
WATCHMAN NEE -
The book of Acts is the best aid in approaching our work. We do not find there anyone consecrating himself as a preacher nor anyone deciding to do the Lord’s work by making himself a missionary or a pastor. What we do see is the Holy Spirit Himself appointing and sending men out to do the work.
WATCHMAN NEE -

WATCHMAN NEE -
Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance.
WATCHMAN NEE -
With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.
WATCHMAN NEE -
May we see the Lord in all things-way, truth, and life are all found in knowing Him. May we really meet the Son of God and let Him live in us. Amen.
