LIVING WATERS
For the proclamation of the Gospel and the edification of the Body of Christ
Living Waters Magazine Nr. 45
May - June 2007
The preciousness of the House
The title of this magazine is taken from a message that brother Dana Congdon gave last October in Temuco. It is a very concise analysis of what constitutes the "house of God" and its contrast with "the big house" of which the Apostle Paul speaks in his 2nd letter to Timothy.
To this we have added a message that brother Christian Chen taught about David's legacy in Solomon's building of the temple. A teaching that puts into perspective the different generations that take part in the work of God.
Along with these, we have included three messages from the Third International Conference "Living Waters", whose theme was "The service of all the saints." This theme was taken up by the speakers and then amplified to include other topics such as the centrality of Christ and the testimony of God.
We hope that these readings bring some light and encouragement to those who are being dealt with by God at this present time, and stirred up to seek His will, in order to get down to work.
