Basic Christianity

Pastor is introducing this serious of books by Watchman Nee to the church to use as basic Teaching. It will last us for a year! The theme verse of the series is 

1 Timothy 4:⁷ But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 

There are five books in the serious and we've begun to read the first lesson this week. 

The First Book is titled, "A Living Sacrifice", based on Romans 12:1 and  the topic is Baptism. Baptism is a very basic, essential, and foundational part of our Christian life, because it is the birth of our new resurrection life in Christ Jesus. 


Acts 2:³⁸ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 


I've just read through the first lesson, and I plan to medidtae and chew on it through this week and next week, so I will be totally ready to learn when we begin discussion in church.


Watchman Nee's writings are very straightforward and easy-to-read, in good English and yet profound and deep. I always benefit from great Christian writings which require a better command of the English language, but this is very very good, esp for those who may not be of English background.
