All I ever heard when I first got saved was that all preachers are in it for the money. I have striven to never have that said of me. I have most ...read more

Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 21, 2009

When a leader knows, through prayer and the confirmation of God’s people, that he is in the will of God, he must defend his plan against ungodly opposition.

One of the great lessons we get from the book of Nehemiah is that opposition is not a onetime deal. It would be nice if we could just deal with opposition once and be done with it, wouldn’t it? But we can’t. Because as long as we are doing the work that God calls us to do, we will have to face ...read more
