From Apathy to Action

Ezra 5:1 - 6:22

When the exiles returned from Babylon after 70 years, they were initially excited about all God was doing in their lives (Psalm 126). But then reality set in: They encountered many painful obstacles. The worst was the legal wrangling. So, they stalled-out into a comfortable lukewarmness. This is never a good place, and God raised up prophets to stir them back into a passionate walk with him. In this story, we see what we need to get from lukewarm to hot...from apathy to action.
