Micah 2: 6-13
"Do not preach"--thus they preach-- "one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us."  Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Has the Lord grown impatient? Are these his deeds? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?  But lately my people have risen up as an enemy; you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly with no thought of war. The women of my people you drive out from their delightful houses; from their young children you take away my splendor forever.  Arise and go, for this is no place to rest, because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.  If a man should go about and utter wind and lies, saying, "I will preach to you of wine and strong drink," he would be the preacher for this people!I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob; I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men.  He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head.

The Daily Way is not about preaching, but about God's Word.  We are merely a multitude of noisy men following the Lord through the narrow gate.
