When Deep Calls Unto Deep, Part V – Testifying Without Exhibiting

When Deep Calls Unto Deep, Part V – Testifying Without Exhibiting

From The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Volume 37 Should we bear testimony? Yes, but with care and purpose. Paul and many believers have testified, but there is a difference between sharing for others’ benefit and delighting in talking about oneself.

When Deep Calls Unto Deep

When Deep Calls Unto Deep, Part I From The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Volume 37 Psalm 42:7 says, “Deep calls unto deep.” Only a call from the depths can provoke a response from the depths. Nothing shallow can ever touch the depths, nor can anything superficial touch the inward parts. Only the deep will respond to the deep. Anything that does not issue from the depths cannot touch the depths. Others can respond deep within to only what issues…
