The Mind of Christ During Difficulties
Facing a trial with the Mind of Christ invites us into a dimension of glory foreign to our knowledge of good and evil. This glimpse into the eternal value of what we are suffering can set us above the landscape with its rocks and thorns. Remember when Satan tempted the suffering Jesus in the wilderness? None of his appeals to the flesh had any power when up against the Mind of Christ. In Christ, The Sum of All Spiritual Things, Watchman Nee describes what it is like to face obstacles with The Mind of Christ: “In 1923 I was invited to preach in a certain city. I took a small…

One Foot Planted in the Dust of the Soul, John Wright Follette
Growth. The process is often not what we expect. It helps to smile at our dustiness. John Wright Follette expresses this masterfully in, Fruit of the Land: “. . . at times it is quite overwhelming for a soul tabernacling in a house of dust. A bit of truth like that was too overwhelming for my dust.

Hebrews 4 Sabbatism: The Rest Which Is Christ
Imagine a Sabbath which is not temporal: not a day, not a practice, not a law. Imagine a Sabbath Who is a Person. Imagine this Person has given His wholeness in place of your brokenness. Imagine this Person says His work is finished. Imagine this Person is Your God. This is the rest which is Sabbatism. “There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God. For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own. Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to…
