How are we ever going to get the church to come together according to Biblical locality?
The same revelation that God gave me and others is the same revelation Watchman Nee received over 50 years ago.
He wrote on page 81 of Revive Thy Work, "...today's issue rests on whether there is a group of people who will stand on God's side and accept His riches, on whether such people are willing to pay any cost to obtain these riches".
Nee was speaking about the return of the harmony of the church from the Ephesus church period of the first century just prior to it losing its first love of Biblical locality, i.e. apostles choosing elders to take care of the locality and the church fellowshipping on that basis as a unit expression of the universal church.
