All Ages for the Lord's Testimony

by Witness Lee

In the Lord's move on earth, there are two areas of fighting the battle and keeping the testimony. According to the picture in the Old Testament, for fighting the battle the Israelites between the ages of twenty and thirty were useful, but for keeping the testimony the older ones, those above the age of thirty, were necessary. This book considers this Old Testament type in relation to the service of the believers of all ages in the New Testament church.

About the author

Witness Lee (李常受, pinyin Lǐ Chángshòu) was a Chinese Christian preacher associated with the Local Churches movement and the founder of Living Stream Ministry. He was born in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China, in 1905, to a Southern Baptist family. He became a Christian in 1925 after hearing the preaching of Peace Wang and later became a close coworker of Watchman Nee. Witness Lee moved to Taiwan in 1949 as the Communists were advancing in mainland China. During the 1950s, his ministry extended throughout Southeast Asia and in 1962 Lee moved to the United States, relocating the base of his ministry to Southern California. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. Many of Lee's spoken messages have been published in over 400 books and translated into more than fourteen different languages. Lee's major work is Life-study of the Bible, comprising over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Lee was also the chief editor of a new translation of the Bible entitled the Recovery Version.

each age group has their own unique responsibilities. this shows us that in the church life, we need every believer, from the little ones to the old ones. we may think the newly saved ones cannot speak, cannot preach the gospel. NO, actually they can praise the Lord for their salvation, which will be so refreshing to all the saints in the meetings. we need all these three groups. we need the little ones surrounding the tabernacle; we need the young ones to fight at the frontier and gain ground for the Lord; we need the more experienced ones to maintain the testimony and care for the tabernacle.
