Before You Breathe Fire

Timing & Trusting

A Desire Within
"I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C.S. LEWIS
A Righteous Root
"The righteous have a root that is immovable and firm. Since our righteousness is credited to our account because of Christ, our foundation is as sure as the finished work of the cross."
Don’t Shrug At Brilliance
Don't shrug or move on when God shows Himself to you.
The Last & Least
Our name, The Last & Least, is a reminder of the posture exhibited by those who live in God's Kingdom. We find in 1 Peter 5:6–7, "[6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, [7] casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares...
