Our Purpose
It is our desire to be apart of that Great Voice filling the earth with the appearing of Him. We are not the total of, nor do we constitute the basis of the "fellowship of the Son of God" (1 Cor 1:9). But we do desire to be a part of that great "fellowship" and help to bring forth that same "fellowship in all the body of Christ in all the earth. We have committed ourselves to knowing nothing other than Christ Himself; the Eternal, indwelling Son of God. We understand it to be the Father's good pleasure to reveal that Son in every believer who will, forsaking all else, turn their heart and soul to see "him". He alone is our Gospel. he is the substance and fulness of his body, which Body we are, therefore, the "increase of Christ" defines our point of ministry. He is our message, and he is our ministry.
Galatians 1:15-16, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood" . This is the foundation upon which Paul stood, in all of his ministry to the church. Beloved, our lives as children of God, which involve all that we are and all that we do in relation to Christ, rest upon the "inward revelation of Christ," which results in his centrality and supremacy, so far as our lives are concerned. This is true for every believer and the whole body of
Christ.
Our existence and purpose for existing must be utterly and always for the expression of Christ, the revelation of Jesus Christ, and the bringing into view of the Lord Jesus Christ. No assembly, no church, no movement, no testimony, and no fellowship stands justified in its existence from God's standpoint, except to the degree that Christ is expressed by it. We can scarcely be a light in this world, if we ourselves abide in spiritual darkness. Beloved, what Moses "represented" to Israel by the glory, which shined upon his face, Christ himself now fulfills in the church, which is His Body. The Son of God revealed, is the only True Light and Glory of His own House, whose House we are (Hebrews 3:1-6).
. Unfortunately, it seems that so very much of what we call "spiritual activities", have become the means to further a movement or promulgate a teaching to the furtherance of the interests of an institution. However, that with which we are involved, is not a movement, an institution, nor a message, if by message you mean a specific form of teaching or a systematized doctrine. We must be very careful about what we mean by "message." The Gospel is not found in some arrangement of True things or in certain phraseologies or terminologies. The Gospel and the basis of our ministry is Christ himself! It is the preaching of Him...as the Father reveals Him in us. The Gospel revealed of God is nothing other than the Son Himself. God does not reveal related things, He reveals the Son of His love in spirit and
truth, even in Person. That is the only foundation upon which God builds anything.
" Beloved, may God gather, in the revealing of His Son, such as have hearts to know Him. I am not speaking of an organization when I say, "Come have fellowship with us, for truly our fellowship is with the Father and the Son."
