What makes a great father? Nehemiah Part 46
Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law. Nehemiah 8:9
Keep the State out of the Church, not the Church out of the State: Nehemiah Part 44
The importance of the word of God. Sometimes we should just all come when we get ready to do something. In America we need to die a little bit to this independence and individualism.

Now when the wall was rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed, Nehemiah 7:1
First was the wall. The wall was the protection. Prayer, attendance, being there. You are the wall. You are there to uphold, stand for, protect the church. What was the wall there for? The wall was there to keep people out. It was not there to keep the people in. It was not there to hold them. It was not the East Berlin Wall. It was not to keep them in. The wall was there to keep the evil out.
Storming the beaches: Nehemiah Part 40

GOD HATES PORN
On the one hand, God does not mean for us to be prudes, afraid of the topic of sex, or ashamed of the beauty of the human body, covering ourselves from head to toe like the Moslem women under their tents. But on the other hand, the sexual act is intended by God for marriage between one man and one women, a private act. Porn shops and their contents are a destructive immoral glorification of sin, a blight on our land. God hates them.
Nehemiah Part 38: Fear
For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands. Nehemiah 6:9

They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way. Nehemiah 6:4
Nehemiah Part 36: Closing breaches, staying on the wall
“Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,” Nehemiah 6:1
