REDEEMING AND OPPOSING THE WICKED
Is it conflicting goals to attempt to redeem the wicked while at the same time opposing them? The Bible gives, and Jesus models, the answer.
COURAGE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
What do we do when when intense resistance comes against our work for the Lord? Do we quit or try to compromise? Do we assume God’s not in it? Not Nehemiah. He has courage for the glory of God.
COMPROMISED OR STRENGTHENED
Part of discipling the nations is to point out evil, which comes across a bit intolerant and creates enemies who give us significant opposition. While we are told to love them, we are not to let them stop our mission.
A TIME TO BUILD: OUR ASSIGNMENT
There is a time to build in the Kingdom of God, but when resistance comes and pressures mount, we are tempted to quit. Why? Nehemiah gives us a hint.
