Ministry Digest, Vol. 02, No. 12

In this issue we will continue four lines of ministry. The first lineóThe History of the Lordís Recoveryócontains chapters 3 through 5 of Guidelines for the Propagation of the Lordís Recovery, which are in volume 5 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1984. These three chapters, which complete the chapters from this book, speak of loving to live the normal church life, being fervent for the gospel by preaching in the homes and by spreading through migration, and bearing the responsibility to shepherd and teach in the homes and small groups. The section then continues with chapter 1 of a new book, Fellowship concerning the Urgent Need of the Vital Groups, which is in volume 3 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1991ñ1992. This chapter contains fellowship concerning the practice of the group meetings in the God-ordained way. The second lineóWords for New Believersócontinues with chapters 11 through 14 of Basic Principles of the Experience of Life, which are in volume 3 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1963. The chapters in this section speak of dealing with the self, the conscience, and the world. The third lineóMaturing in Lifeócontains the final four chapters of The Subjective Experience of the Indwelling Christ, which are in volume 1 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1983. These chapters speak of living out Christ in our human virtues, the subjective salvation of the Triune God, and how to enjoy the subjective salvation of the Triune God. The fourth lineóThe High Peak of the Divine Revelationócontains the final two chapters of The Issue of Christ Being Glorified by the Father with the Divine Glory, which are in volume 5 of The Collected Works of Witness [8] Lee, 1994ñ1997. These chapters speak of the three aspects of the incorporation of the consummated God with the regenerated believers and of the functions of the Fatherís house, the true vine, and the new child. The final two chapters in this section then begin a new book, The History of God in His Union with Man, which is in volume 4 of The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1991ñ1992. These chapters focus on Godís history in eternity past and Godís history in time.
