There is a "little flock" down in Alabama. I have just had the privilege to visit with these saints of God, and I wanted to say how refreshing and valuable the time was. Why was it so special? Because they are God's little flock. Similar flocks are around the country, and I have had the blessing of visiting some of them. What is so special about all of these whom the Lord loves? Well, while I was with any of them there was not even a hint of divisiveness. They were as those in Acts 2:46,47

1. They "continued daily." Not hit and miss, but there they were with their Bibles open and were as the Bereans in Acts 17:11 – "they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily whether these things were so." You can't deceive them.

2. "With one accord." How obvious this was! they were testimonies to I John 2:10, "He that loveth his brother abideth in the light."

3. "In the temple." That is, where God's people meet. They counted it a joy to assemble for worship.

4. "Breaking bread from house to house." Person to person, family to family, they opened their homes.

5. "Gladness and singleness of heart." You can tell when people are glad, can't you? The veneer of hypocrisy was not on them. They had one heart.

6. "Praising God." We preach the only God worthy of praise, and as this "little flock" heard of the majestic Sovereign they truly praised Him. With a God of eternal purpose, why fear?

So, I say thank you, pastor, pastor's wife, and the children of God whom He brought together in that place. It was truly a special time for my wife and I. I thank our sovereign Savior, who has given you such a witness to His saving glory. May He continue to bless you greatly. "Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
