Two Things from this
signage:
The world needs men to do work
that’s dangerous where there's --
Risks involved.
Sacrifices involved.
Mess and dirt involved.
A sense of urgency – a “now or
never”, “whatever it takes we’ll complete it” attitude.
Criticism and persecution involved
‘coz they’re bringing discomfort to people’s lives. They’re challenging the
status quo. They’re questioning the norm. They’re living consecrated lives.
They’re not conforming to the patterns of the world.
These men are committed to something
–
Constructing, fixing and building
something. They’re committed to making a difference.
These men are committed to Christ - a most dangerous proposition. They may offend the world but nothing’s going to stop them.

…keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” Acts 5:38-39
It’s because they’re following a God who has waged war against sin on this world.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34
