We give up because we are not strong enough to overcome the odds, but with God on our side we are strong enough to overcome all odds. A disciple lives by faith in Gods promises.

Anything done for the glory of Christ Is worship. I do need to put God number one, I at one time put God as number one, but over time I put other stuff before God. One way to restore my relation with God is studying His word, in which I become closer to the Lord.

The uncommitted people are not serious about God, They are not putting the Lord first in their life. Letting them redesign would be a disaster. To be innovative and still be faithful to Gods heart is to stand fixed on Gods law.

To answer the question it helps me to describe the characteristics of Meekness. Those who returned to rebuild the temple had this characteristic of taking the role of a servant, they willingly submitted themselves to service to God. They were the chosen ones, the Jews that were exiled to Babylon. The ones that stayed behind were not part of the exiled ones, but willingly financed the expedition, they did not have it in their hearts to return to take part in the actual rebuilding of the temple. The characteristics of a disciple is to have a right relationship with the Lord to be meek, remorseful, to have a spiritual desire, to be merciful, to have a pure heart.

For Moses is interceding for Gods people Why is this such an important role for pastors and lay leaders today? This is your flock or people tht you are looking out for.
