The Normal Christian Church Life is a record of messages given during conferences held in Shanghai and Hankow. Watchman Nee spoke to his fellow workers on the principles in the New Testament concerning the practical arrangement of the churches, the ministry, and the work. In his speaking, he honestly examined his own work before the Lord in the light of these principles, provided adjustment and encouragement to his co-workers, and confirmed through personal testimony that the practice of the normal Christian church life revealed in the New Testament can be recovered.

New Testament Church - Today
By RL-Acy
I have read most of Watchman Nee's books and I am greatly encouraged and challenged by them all but especially this one about the leadership of the Church.
God has revealed many of the same things to me over the years so THIS is an encouragement to know, that in what I am hearing, I am not alone.
The challenge is TRYING to implement these things in a Church today that is steeped in traditions as much as the Pharisees were in their day.
However, be ready to bear His reproach! IF you do try you will be accused of being a false prophet and/or a false teacher. Trust me, I know!
Thirty years later I have given up on trying to implement any of this in today's average denominational Church. So NOW I understand why Nee said that it might be impossible to fellowship with such Churches. They will NEVER embrace these teachings because it means that they have been wrong, in their pattern of leadership, for nineteen-hundred years! Also they fear losing their jobs and $$$ as pastors.
However, I do see a way we could correct the structures by implementing the 'God given PATTERN', (see Heb. 8:5) and allow the pastors to keep their, paid jobs. IF only they would be willing to change?
Nee did not believe that such Churches were in reality are a part of THE TRUE CHURCH. There I could not agree with him completely! But "What IS?" Does meeting in a home make us New Testament or ???
The House Church movement claims to be a 'Restoration of The Early Church', and I would say that they are getting closer but many of them are JUST LIKE the church on the corner with a steeple. They meet once a week, they have someone leading - just like a pastor; they also do a song, a message, a closing prayer and then go home. The FACT that they meet in A HOME does NOT make them a New Testament Church! And a pastor by any other name is still a pastor.
Luther took catholic priests, told them that they could get married and made a few other minor changes but RETAINED the HIERARCHICAL system of 'One Man Rule', which DESTROYS 'The Priesthood of the Believer'. Eventually they began to call THEM PASTORS! Luther also retained Infant Baptism, and in all retained approximately 90 percent of the Catholic Church's 'traditional' practices. But worse still he attached the church to the state government, and used the state to persecute TRUE BELIEVERS, even torturing and killing hundreds and thousands.
IF we look only at the structures of such Churches Nee may well be absolutely correct, but I would have to add one thing, that many of the Christians, in these Churches, are in fact a part of THE CHURCH. It's just that their "organizations" do NOT fit the New Testament example (definition) or 'PATTERN' of what a Church is!
Scripture, history and the circumstances shows that Jesus was slain "Outside the camp". Hebrews 13:12 says, "...suffered outside the gate." Outside of the walls of Jerusalem (aka 'outside the camp') and then in Hebrews 13:13 it says, "So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach."
The camp represents the place of "Acceptability", outside the camp is the place of unacceptability. The Church has been compromised and destroyed by a willingness to compromise so that we ARE ACCEPTED! Are you WILLING to bear His reproach?
NOTE: Be careful what you buy! Some works are duplicated and/or reprinted with different titles, example the book series titled "The Church and the Work II, 'Rethinking the Work'" was printed by the Christian Fellowship Publishers in 1982, and was reprinted (with one minor change) under the title, "The Normal Christian Church" by Living Stream Ministry in 1996!
So if you don't have either book I highly recommend that you buy and read this one, and be challenged.

The biblical revelation of the local church
By Chitu Okoli
At the time I first read this book, the Lord had been increasingly showing me how far short of the Bible that most local churches fall, particularly in the denominations, which divide the Body of Christ. Thus, when I read Watchman Nee's exposition on what the Bible teaches us about the practical aspects of the local church (as opposed to the universal Church), I was very much encouraged and enlightened by his exposition.
However, I had an extremely hard time with his teaching that the only biblical revelation of a local church is a church that spans the entire city: In God's eyes, a local church consists of every single child of God in a geographical city. A practical local church must include all believers in Christ, and it is unbiblical to form a "church" that excludes anyone in the city whom Christ receives as His own.
It took a second careful reading of the book and some practical experience with Christians who are practicing this reality for me to see that this is exactly what the Bible teaches. What also helped was the sequel to this book, "Further Talks on the Church Life", which addresses many confusing questions such as "the church in the house/home", the biblical meaning of Christian unity, and the true biblical membership of a local church. A study of this subject is not complete without reading this companion volume (especially if the first book doesn't persuade you).
I've read quite a few of Watchman Nee's books, and I never cease to be astonished by how he manages at the same time to produce a crystal clear yet razor sharp exposition of the Bible. He seems to catch almost every detail, and he is truly gifted in making the most complex theological subjects very simple and practical.
I highly recommend this book to all the Lord's loving seekers who are sick and tired of playing church, who want to practice the reality of the Body of Christ.

this man speaks truth
By a christian
I have known, studied, followed, and appreciated the ministry of Watchman Nee and his co-worker in the Lord, Witness Lee, for my entire life. I grew up in this fellowship, and I have only experienced denominational Christianity as an outsider looking in.
Brother Nee's ministry concerning the church as set forth in this book is full of light and revelation. The church is the Body of Christ, as is made very clear in the Bible (Eph. 1:22-23), and as such there should be an organic relationship between all the members of the Body, namely, all those who have believed into Jesus Christ. If one member of a person's body rebels, the whole body is put out of function. Likewise, if a group of Christians follows one specific doctrine, and another group contends that a different doctrine is truer, more important, etc., then the Body of Christ is dismembered, because all the members of the Body are not fellowshipping in the life of Christ together.
Watchman Nee, in his exhaustive study of the Bible and a lifetime of labor in the Lord, the last twenty years of which were spent in a Chinese Communist concentration camp, was very clear that there is but one Body of Christ in the universe. The oneness of Christ's Body is what Christ Himself died to produce, not just individual sects of believers (Ephesians 4:3-6, 13-16, 25). In New Testament times, the believers in a city all met together--which is why the Epistles are always addressed to the believers in a particular locality, Corinth, Ephesus, Galatia, Philippi, etc. Paul and the other apostles never addressed their letters to the believers on a particular street, and certainly Paul was very clear that all the believers he wrote to should not be divisive in any way, and should refuse any divisive teaching.
How wonderful it would be if all Christians would see this vision, that in the church (including all the believers) there can be no Greek, no Jew, no Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, or anything else...but that Christ Himself is the life in all of us, and that He desires us to live by His life so we would be one Body to express Him and represent Him on the earth. What a testimony to the greatness of our God, that He could build countless irreconciliably different individuals into just one, glorious expression of Himself.
This is the normal Christian church life Watchman Nee is talking about: how can it be normal for the Body of Christ to be divided? How can it be normal for believers who claim the same Lord not also claim to be members of His one Body? It is normal for Christians to be in oneness! Watchman Nee is also very clear that if a teaching causes division in the Body, it must be put out. How can I claim to be a Methodist rather than a Baptist? Or denominational rather than non? There is only Body, just as there is only one Christ, and only one God. That is the only claim I make, and Christ's is the only name I take.
I highly encourage every Christian who has ever wondered what the Body of Christ is, and why there are so many different "churches" today, to read this book. May the Lord grant you a vision to see His Body, and that you are a part of it.
