He was a faithful man and feared God: Nehemiah Part 42
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.
Oaths, smiles and gatekeepers: Nehemiah Part 41
Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.
For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Storming the beaches: Nehemiah Part 40
Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. Nehemiah 6:12
Nehemiah Part 24: Carry the burden, set a guard
Is the church building or carrying the burden? The church actually does not build or carry the burden. The church, the average church members, they just come. They come, receive and go home. That is not building, that is not carrying the burden.
Nehemiah Part 22: Return their reproach on their own heads!
“Hear, O our God, how we are despised!” Nehemiah 4:4
Nehemiah Part 17: Dedicated to THE purpose
Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors They consecrated the wall to the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel. Nehemiah 3:1
Ridiculous Priorities
Proverbs 8:17 “I love those who love me…” Oops! What ever happened to God’s unconditional love?
The Church With the Sign
My name is Heike. I have been married for 18 years to my wonderful husband and we have four sons. We are from Germany and have lived in the USA since 2005.
The Path of Trust, The Path of Fear
As Christians, we have a desire to live a life of trust in God. We know from the Word of God that this is God’s plan for us, and we never intend to live otherwise. But the Devil tricked Eve and Adam, and he easily seduces us too.
