Hello, dear friends. Thank you for listening for help for today. We’re working through real quickly this week on the book of Nehemiah, and today we get to chapter number 13, the last chapter, and I want to just ask you to guard corruption. And the Bible says, “before this, Eliasib, the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of God, was allied to Tobiah.” This is amazing. Remember Tobiah, all through the book, he ridiculed and attacked the man of God, and now they got things back to normal. They got the house of God opened up, and they move into a nice apartment in the house of God. Tobiah! What are we moving into our churches? It has no business being there. We’re moving in compromise.

I think of how we move in rock and roll music these days, and a casual lifestyle, and we’re just sort of doing the church thing, casually. Oh everything about the house of God when they built in the tabernacle the temple they didn’t even allow a hammer there. No noise. No noise. I, the high priest. Here’s how you dress from head to toe. Here’s your breastplate and the twelve stones that on your breastplate. I mean it was a sacred work. And I just want to challenge you whether it be in your church. Or whether it be in your life or my life or our marriage our home, don’t allow garbage to move in.

Have a great day.
