The Doctor: Bigger is Better?

We must not be ashamed of being a remnant, weak and small; this is God’s way.  In a sense it can even become a privilege.  We must cease to think in terms of numbers, we must think in terms of the purpose of God and the purity of the witness and the testimony.  God will preserve this seed.  He will carry it on in spite of everything, thank God, if we belong to the faithful remnant.    – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Romans Vol. 9, p. 326
