As those who have been born again, we have the divine life. However, we may not exercise the divine life much in the church service. We may simply do things and talk, gossip, ask questions, and exercise our mind and emotions in the name of “fellowship,” yet without the exercise of the divine life in us. To come together to have a friendly talk without the ministry of life is not fellowship; it is merely something social. Genuine fellowship is the flow and the mutual imparting of life. I minister life to you, and you return life to me, and in this life current there is the real fellowship. In our service groups if we care only for business affairs without much imparting of life, that is not the genuine church service. That is simply a kind of social service. Everything in the church must be in the nature of life, with the content of life, and in the imparting of life. The “currency” in the church “exchange” is not dollars but the divine life; the divine life is our only kind of “merchandise.” The church is altogether a matter of life. Our work, speaking, fellowship, service, ministry, message, Bible study, and prayer must be in the flow and imparting of life.
