Watchman Nee Nuggets

The book, The Normal Christian Life is in my opinion one of the best books on true spirituality and growth available. Few books have had more impact on my life than this one. Here are a few nuggets from Watchmen Nee's great book. Download the entire book here.

"How can we ever expect the Lord to live out His life in us if we do not
offer our lives to Him?"

"If we give ourselves unreservedly to God, many adjustments may have to be
made.  God will not let anything of our old selves remain.  His finger will
touch, point by point, those things that are not of Him until everything from
our nature has been removed."

"We must go to the Cross, because what is in us by nature is a self-life.
Adam chose a self-life rather than a divine life; therefore, God had to gather
up all that was 'in Adam' and do away with it."

Knowing this, that our old (Adamic) man was crucified with Him (Christ), that
the body of sin might be done away, so that we should no longer be in bondage to
sin; for he that hath died is freed from sin.  Rom 6:6-7.
