When God Commanded Build That Wall: A Study in the Book of Nehemiah plus The Evil Within

God called upon a layman to Build That Wall around Jerusalem in 444 B.C. Nehemiah had no former political position, nor was he among the spiritually elite. He held a comfortable prestigious position in the royal palace of the Persian King Artaxerxes. Yet, God called him out, to leave his comfort behind and to go to build the wall for his people. He met with great opposition, political corruption, and threats; yet, he stands out as a great leader. Beyond completing the wall, Nehemiah lead the nation of Israel to be great again by addressing the political corruption, social corruption, and spiritual decay within the nation. Once more, the people could rejoice with national pride; as one nation under God with the freedom to worship God with all their heart and soul. No longer would they hang their heads in shame and defeat. This book begins with an in-depth study of the Book of Nehemiah. A timely book; because America could learn much from Nehemiah. The second half of the book turns to take a hard look at The Evil Within our own nation. Throughout the twentieth century, we embraced the Secular Humanist movement; despite their failed experiments in reaching a social Utopia. Our embracement of this movement has brought us to the place we are where anger, division, and despair fill our nation. Truth is considered relative and Christians are demonized. Where do we go from here? There is hope for our nation to heal; and this book lays forth the keys with humility, intellect, and strength. With clarity, knowledge, love and grace; we can learn to win the debates. It will take diligence and hard work; but, we, the Christians in this nation cannot be bullied into silence any longer.
