I was impressed with what Watchman Nee had to say on page 96 of
The Normal Christian Church Life.
"We who live in the same locality cannot but belong to the same church. This is something from which there is no escape. If I am dissatisfied with the local church, the only thing I can do is to change my locality; then automatically I can change my church.
We can leave a denomination, but we can never leave a church. To leave a sect is justifiable, but to leave a church-whether on account of unspirituality, wrong doctrine, or bad organization-is utterly unjustifiable."
Is Watchman Nee's content in this book based on principle and not doctrine?
