That's a good one. Long ago, prolly before you were born, I was told not to read The Spiritual Man because it could cause me to become demon possessed.

I read it anyway. Actually, I ran to it faster than Eve ran to the forbidden tree. And yes, there's a serpent in that paradise.

I feel I should tell you. Watchman Nee was a man, a human, just like you & me. And yes, he was deified in Shanghai. Like Lee was deified here in America.

Why we have to deify men is beyond me. I guess we don't like who we are, so we hope that if other men can be deified, so can we.
