First priority Quote by Bryan Fraser
““He understands that it is the hidden life, not the outward presentation, that moves God “to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9). For if we disregard small things while attending to large things, then it is plain that our first priority is pleasing men rather than serving our Lord Who sees all things. ””
