Woe unto that man who despises “the day of small things” in the Church of Christ, or who despises “the day of small things” in any individual believer, for it is God’s day, it is a day out of which great things will yet come; and therefore he that despises it really despises his Maker’s work, and despises the great and glorious things which are to come out of the small things which are at present…
This past week I have been listening to R.C. Sproul preach on the sermon on the mount and also reading through it with his preaching.
