God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman NeeThe life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman NeeHe who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.
Watchman NeeThe Law requires much, but offers no help in the carrying out of its requirements. The Lord Jesus requires just as much, yea even more (Matt. 5:21-48), but what he requires from us he himself carries out in us. The law makes demands and leaves us helpless to fulfill them; Christ makes demands, but he himself fulfills in us the very demands he makes.
