In this issue of The Ministry, we begin a series of messages which Brother Lee spoke concerning migration in Los Angeles in 1969. The gospel of grace in the New Testament emphasizes our coming and our going. We come to the Lord for salvation, for grace, and to be filled with God. Then we go to bring salvation, spread grace, and dispense God to others. Our going, according to the Lord’s command, is in the way of migration. In the first message, Brother Lee particularly emphasizes our need to carry out the migrations as a move of the Body, preserving the oneness and proper fellowship between all the local churches. The next six messages in this issue, comprising the Crystallization-study of the Divinity of Christ, are from the first half of the Living Stream Ministry’s Winter Training of 1997. The subject of this training was originally chosen by Brother Lee, and the outlines were prepared by his co-workers in fellowship with him. They represent the utterances, the thoughts, and the crystals from various portions of Brother Lee’s ministry. Brother Lee began the semiannual trainings in 1974, and then book by book, training after training, he covered the entire Bible in the way of life-study and later returned to crucial matters in the way of crystallization-study. The open Bible has now become our inheritance in the Lord’s recovery and the foundation for our going on in the Lord’s way. Toward the end of his ministry, Brother Lee charged his co-workers that his will, his bequest, to the Lord’s recovery was that the semiannual trainings would continue after he went to be with the Lord. Even though our brother is not physically with us, we are still one to carry out his bequest. We conclude this issue with some encouraging letters concerning the Lord’s move in His ministry throughout the earth, especially in the publications of the ministry in this country and in Europe.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION The following work was not written to gratify any personal pique, for the author cherishes no animosity against any, but for the defense of the Gospel of Christ, and, (if the will of God be so;) for the deliverance of any of the Lord's Spiritual Israel who may be entangled in the anti-Christian web of those who propagate the errors herein exposed, and are under their yoke of bondage, so that they may not be partakers of their sins, and ultimately receive of their plagues. Our desire is, above all else, that the cause of Christ may be promoted, and that God, in all things may be glorified.

Do you have unanswered questions? Are you wondering who God is? Are you wondering why you are here? Is Jesus really God's Son? Can I really have a relationship with God? If these are some of the questions on your heart then Dr. Crenshaw's book The Eternal Godhead will take you on a journey knowing God and how to have that relationship with Him. Maybe you are already a student of the Word and seek to understand more and to be able to impart Truth to others. If this is you then The Eternal Godhead will help you answer questions about topics such as sin, the family, the Church and the future. Wherever you may be I hope and pray that this book will help you draw closer and have a more intimate relationship to The Eternal Godhead. May God open your eyes on this journey that you are about to undertake. Blanche Russell (typist)

This book seeks to unpack the evolution of Barth's understanding of God's suffering in Jesus Christ in the light of election. The interconnectedness of election, crucifixion, and (im)passibility is explored, in order to ask whether the suffering of Christ is also a statement about the Trinity.

Saint Ambrose, also known as Aurelius Ambrosius, is one of the four original doctors of the Church. He was the Bishop of Milan and became one of the most important theological figure of the 4th century. He is considered a saint by the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, and various Lutheran denominations, and venerated as the patron saint of Milan. Ambrose's intense episcopal consciousness furthered the growing doctrine of the Church and its sacerdotal ministry, while the prevalent asceticism of the day, continuing the Stoic and Ciceronian training of his youth, enabled him to promulgate a lofty standard of Christian ethics. Thus we have the De officiis ministrorum, De viduis, De virginitate and De paenitentia. In De Officiis, the most influential of his surviving works, and one of the most important texts of patristic literature, he reveals his views connecting justice and generosity by asserting these practices are of mutual benefit to the participants.

This book is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the Thanksgiving weekend conference held in Houston, Texas, November 28—December 1, 2019. The general subject of the conference was “Knowing and Experiencing the All-inclusive, Extensive Christ.” Through intimate contact with the Lord in His word, the believers can be constituted with life and truth and thereby equipped to prophesy in the meetings of the church unto the building up of the Body of Christ.
