Luke 9:46-50 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

“ We Are Not Alone ” I had to add another comment because I was so uplifted by your closing word about Elijah being puffed up with pride as well, when he declared to the Lord how he alone was left while being persecuted by the prophets of Baal. And the Lord told him something powerful, that despite Elijah's hardship and seeming despair, He still had reserved unto Himself a remnant of 7,000 persons whom Elijah knew nothing about. How wonderful our God is! So let us be encouraged, when we may feel persecuted and alone, let God's word be sure in our hearts that we are NOT alone and there He has a remnant, even if we know nothing about them. God has a people and He preserves and prospers them unto His glory. May we rejoice with all of our brothers and sisters in Christ, wherever they are!

“ More Fantastic Spiritual Insights ” I greatly enjoyed your sermon, Brother Tom. Again my faith was edified as I was meditating upon your discussion on spiritual growth being about downward aspirations, meaning our humility before God and facing our dependency upon Him as our heavenly Father to supply us all our needs as His child. A thought came into my mind as we consider how Paul and the Apostles instruct in Scripture to mature into Christ. We must mature into childhood, into fully depending upon our Lord and Savior, and abandoning all hope we may have placed in ourselves and our faculties. To God be all the glory!
