A Remnant Can Turn the World Upside Down

Have you ever been part of a remnant?

I have. I am.

I am a member of a congretation that once numbered 220 for a morning worship service. But things happened. 

People left.

Eventually, it was a group of 12 of us.

We began thinking of ourselves as the remnant, the faithful few.

It was pointed out the disciples of Jesus were only 12 in number (once Judas' replacement was voted in) and they turned the world upside down.

Of course, that was with the help of Holy Spirit.

Yet, today, we have that same spirit at work among us. Nothing is impossible for those that believe.

We're still here. We number between 40-50 now. 

But we are still believing we can touch the world. 

Our message is simple. Love God. Love each other. Feed the hungry whenever we can. Trust God.

I don't know if God will use our messages on the internet to plant seed; or if He will continue to send people our way one by one. He will probably use both ways.

But we are committed to being faithful and leaving the rest in His Hands.

That's what the faithful few do.

“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.

John 14:12-13 NLT
