Mosaic Boston

Compassion fatigue is when we around suffering so often that we have a gradual lessening of compassion over time. Our culture is suffering from compassion fatigue. Nehemiah chapter 5 gives us a glimpse into a godly reaction to injustice and gives us a game-plan for using our power to fight injustice. When Nehemiah hears about the exploitation of the powerless, his fury turns to action as he fights injustice through sacrifice and service. He then wields his power in a godly way to help those who are exploited.
