Who hath despised the day of small things
Paul says that in 2 Tim 3:1 and we are told from whom to turn away. We are in perilous (or difficult) days now. Days of small things.
This site draws on the words of a few of the Lord’s servants, John Nelson Darby (JND) in particular, mostly in simplified and summary form, to provide encouragement and instruction for believers who are concerned to ‘walk in the light’ – and above all following, and keeping close to Jesus.

You may pray about it. But maybe God’s answer is ‘You don’t nd an organisation; you don’t need any funds’
Greetings in Christ
Sosthenes
how can God help us to get funds for our organization youth project ug
Organised religion needs funds, testifying to God’s glory does not.
Awesome! May God bless you. I am associate Pastor with mind for holiness and being led by the Sprit in all things. Very insighful and sa resource to further teaching. It is so powerful your exposition of knowing God’s, a topic I have taught several times.
Glory be to God.
Dear Victoria
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased this little service to the Lord is of benefit. Satan is active in diverting God’s people on to a line of works when it is all grace.
Greetings in our Saviour’s Name.
