Who is Titus Chu? The website doesn't tell us.

Excellent question Igz!

Also this from the title page of this website:
"the expression of Christ in His Body in the genuine local churches"

What, pray tell, is a "genuine local church"? My church is local (duh, else I wouldn't make it to the meeting)....but what makes it genuine? At my church we have elders and teachers and such. The gospel is preached, the word is expounded upon, we baptize new believers and we partake of the Lord's Table (every Lord's day thank you very much). I still wonder if Titus would consider my local church a genuine local church. Could someone who knows him please ask him for me and report back.

Thanks!

Well, I don't have his bio in front of me...but he came from China in the 60's was the brother who labored to establish the Church in Cleveland...and many others.
Presently, he is the focus of LSM in that they went to great lengths to smear him and even had a long video outlining his many shortcomings in Whistler Canada. He is "QUARANTINED" by LSM until he meets their demands of not publishing his own writings (and other things).
This is the nutshell version...Toledo...give them more...please?

I'm sure it's been discussed time and time again..but it's worth repeating....That's CENSORSHIP!!! Last I checked, we live (maybe not for long....) in a FREE country to write and publish what we wish...

Sue, I know who Chu is. I was just pointing out the oddity of a website which presents the ministry of someone but doesn't tell the public a word about who he is. I mean, don't you think that is strange?

Sorry,
I understand better now.
Well, I guess we don't know the purpose of the website , do we?
Odd, yes...but this whole mess is odd!

No problem, Suanne.
BTW, I wasn't trying to nitpick. I just hoped someone over there would read this and think to put a bio of Chu on the site. Most non-LC readers (i.e. people in the real world) are going to expect some kind of description of the writer.

Cal · 10-27-2008, 02:39 PM

I see the bio has been added.

Can anyone recommend a seminal book by Titus?

That's a good-looking website by the way.

I'd like to recommend the "Daily Words" section of the "Ministry of Titus Chu" website. It is a short, very fresh word similar to Watchman Nee's "Table in the Wilderness." Here's today's Daily Words, one that touched me.

She had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people and given them food.
— Ruth 1:6

During our first years in the church life, we fell in love with the revelations, the meetings, the sweetness among the believers, and the atmosphere of blessedness. In spite of all these enjoyable experiences, eventually we find we are unable to fully put our trust in the One who provides them. Therefore, when any of these precious experiences dry up, we immediately take off on a sojourn. We remove ourselves from the Lord and His people and in the process find out who we really are. We are not the great believers we thought we were. After we are touched by the Lord about our relying upon other things, we are finally able to come to Him as we should. Now the focus is no longer on the food, but on the Lord Himself. Needless to say, where the Lord is, there will be food.

This is the journey of every believer who seeks the Lord. When we come to this stage, our heart returns to Bethlehem, for that is where the Lord is. Our heart desires the Lord and focuses on Him, not on the blessings He provides. Therefore, we rise up to go to where we hear He is, and we re-consecrate ourselves to Him.

Dear brother SpeakersCorner,

The portion you shared is really marvelous! It captures our experience in words that are full of grace. I too was touched by this portion.

I will have to check out these "Daily Words" much more often!!
