“Who hath despised the day of small things?” There is a hidden concept here, a little nugget of gold, that is huge if you can grasp it. Let our minds and our hearts open up to these words from God. “For who hath despised the day of small things?” (Zechariah 4:10). “Who is left among […]
By now we have all heard of the great confession of Willow Creek and how they failed to accurately hear the voice of the Lord.
