Remember Me For Good
Every time there is a great working of God among fallen humanity, very often the movement is only temporary. The people of Israel followed through on their covenant with God as long as Nehemiah was governor - 12 years.

We need to make up our minds to be faithful to God and to His Word, regardless of the cost or the outcome, and teach others to do the same.
