What? I never heard this from Brother Lee nor anything like it. His life's work was completely centered on Life studies of the Bible followed by Crystallizations of the books of the Bible.

Aron, since you put that in quotes, meaning it is an exact statement, please provide the reference so we can read it in context.

Drake,

Did you ever hear this one: "The age of spiritual giants is over; it is now the age of the small potatoes"? We heard that in 1997 when Witness Lee passed on. Why does an age pass when a Christian minister dies? What Bible verse comes to mind here, if any?

And it probably never got published in the LSM/lc. . . . don't want to make a paper trail. A 'smoking gun'.

Regarding the quote you wanted, it's from

https://www.chinasource.org/resource...deas-come-from

And I think I read it elsewhere also. There are several books on contemporary Christian experience in China, and Watchman Nee & Witness Lee obviously loom large. There's quite a bit of data if you are interested.

One book is called "Redeemed by Fire" and another book is called "China's Christian Millions". There are easily a half-dozen books like this.
