How can a godly man hope to persevere in a time of moral chaos among God's people? What can one man do when even spiritual leaders have sunk into unrepentant sin? Samuel, the last judge of Israel, lived in just such a time. His entire ministry was one in which he stood in opposition to the wicked men who ruled God's people. His life demonstrates consistent faith in God through an extended period of setbacks and disappointments. Although he died before the spiritual darkness had lifted, God used his ministry to usher in a period of genuine revival.
