Shepherding Words is composed of many articles that address sometimes complex subjects. Topical Lines is included in this site to provide a way for readers to access the articles in a more focused way. Rather than listing individual articles by title and date, Topical Lines presents small groups of articles arranged according to a number of topics and lists the articles in a sequence in which each subsequent article builds on the preceding one in a particular topic. The intention is to furnish the reader with a more complete view of the truths addressed on Shepherding Words. Further, each article contains Bible verses that pop up and has references to the copious printed ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. These resources may then be used by the reader to gain the maximum benefit from the expanding content of Shepherding Words.
