Sir Robert Anderson, was called the “Secret Service Theologian!” Anderson’s skills of detective work are well known, and he applied those skills in the discharge of his duties at Scotland Yard.

“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 […]
