Jim Petersen, Church Without Walls:
The history of the church, from God’s perspective, is a history of the Holy Spirit using little people. It consists of a mustard seed here and there, some yeast hidden in dough or a seed in the ground. Not many wise or influential people are included. Rather, it has been built on the lowly — the little people. Most of these have lived and died unnoticed, probably feeling in their own hearts that they had never really accomplished much for God with their lives. This history we have lost, but not forever. We will no doubt hear it told us as we stand together before God’s throne.
