About Me

Watchman Nee puts it like this, "Oh, it is a great thing to see that we are in Christ! Think of the bewilderment of trying to get into a room in which you already are! Think of the absurdity of asking to be put in! If we recognize the fact that we are in, we make no effort to enter." (The Normal Christian Life, Watchman Nee).
