The most difficult of all situations for most people to endure are the ones that come

from their own hand.

Personal failures, destructive choices, a tragic action, a hateful fit of words that spew

out poison and ruin relationships.

What do you do when you've blown it, when you've made the mistake, how do you get restored

to God and others?

Stay with me.

Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chipping Room.

Living on the Edge is an international teaching and discipleship ministry, motivating Christians

to live like Christians.

Well, in just a minute we'll wrap up our series, keep pressing ahead.

We pray, Chip, study, and the book of Nehemiah has encouraged you and reminded you that with

God, we can get through anything.

To help others hold on to that same hope, take a minute after this message and share

this series with someone, Hojik.

You can do that through the Chipping Room app or by sending them the free MP3s that you'll

find at livingontheedge.org.

And thanks for spreading the word about how this teaching impacts you.

Well, here's Chip with part two of his talk, Facing Personal Failure.

He begins in Nehemiah chapter 8, walking us through the conditions for spiritual restoration.

The second condition isn't just returning to the Word.

They didn't just listen, they didn't just hear it, they didn't just pray a prayer.
