• Watchman Nee

  I've been reading in Watchman Nee's book, The Normal Christian Life, and I must say - it's been a hard read... It's not a thick book - only fourteen chapter - and it's very small, but it is slow going. A lot of what Nee has to say is very basic and fundamental... but I've never really heard this stuff laid out before. I guess everyone I know took it for granted that I already had a basic foundation and understanding of the Blood of Jesus and what exactly the Cross accomplished for me.... Well, I didn't. So, I am re-evaluating my understanding of the price Jesus paid and how precious it was - not only to me, but to God. I'm having a hard time grasping that my valuation of the Blood of Jesus Christ in regards to my sin doesn't matter... What matters is how much God values the Blood of His Son. And it's important that I understand that and know that I cannot determine how much the Blood has accomplished in cleansing my conciense of the guilt of sins and replacing this heart of mine with a new one.

  Interesting....

  Well, I am surprised to see Xanga with a Christian twist, albeit surprised in a good way. : ) I like it.
  
  Well, my name is Aaron and I am a college student and follower of Christ. I don't have any particular plans for this blog except to post anything God puts in my heart.... Personal lessons, struggles, and pray request are really all I'll write. At times I may write as if I were talking directly to God.
  
  I guess you may feel that you are eavesdropping on a conversation between myself and God. Perhaps it will shed some light into any issues you yourself are experiencing. Who knows.
  
  Anywho, till I post again...
