    Subject: Material on building up the homes?

    Dear LSM Brothers, while reading a recent publication I was drawn to statements 
    that brother Lee made:
    "If possible, we should compile some material to teach the brothers and sisters 
    how they should build up their own homes." "In the coming days we hope that we 
    can compile some messages on the building up of the homes so that every saint's 
    home would be a proper home."

    This came from: Page 245 of  The Vision and Definite Steps for the Practice of
    the New Way - WITNESS LEE - 2004.
    Can you brothers recommend any material which may have been compiled in response 
    to that speaking? In the fall of 1987 in Taipei, I also heard him speak something 
    similar. In order to enter into the Lord's current burden for proper shepherding 
    with the married couples and families I feel we urgently need some material like this.

    Here is the complete paragraph:
    "THE BENEFITS OF BUILDING UP THE CHURCH IN THE HOMES"
    "We need to realize that the way the Lord is taking is to build up His church in 
    the believers' homes. Once the church is built up in the homes, the homes will be 
    transformed. The husbands and the wives might have been arguing couples, but once 
    they have meetings in their homes, they will stop their arguing. The children will 
    also be preserved from drifting with the current of the age. As a result, the family 
    will become proper and normal. If possible, we should compile some material to teach 
    the brothers and sisters how they should build up their own homes. For example, we 
    should have something to teach them how to behave as parents, children, husbands, 
    and wives. This is scriptural. A book as spiritual as Ephesians contains teachings 
    on being proper husbands, wives, children, parents, slaves, and masters. In the past 
    we were somewhat negligent in this matter. All the brothers and sisters devoted their 
    attention to the big meetings and neglected the building up of the homes. In the coming 
    days we hope that we can compile some messages on the building up of the homes so that 
    every saint's home would be a proper home. Once that happens, we can invite our relatives 
    to the home meetings, and they will see the situation in our homes and will be touched 
    to receive the Lord's salvation."

    Thank You

    Come Lord Jesus!
