You Can Start a Movement

Nehemiah 2:17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” 18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work.

Broken down walls represent a loss of purpose, protection and dignity. For Jerusalem in Nehemiah's day, the broken walls were saying, "We are defeated and overcome!" 

Interestingly, the answer to this desperate situation came from a far away place and from the heart of a man with no personal history in Jerusalem. One man's compassion started a "rebuilding" movement by igniting a flame of hope in the hearts of people ready to be inspired.

Never underestimate your ability to make a difference through the grace of God!

God's Plans for You Stand Firm!

Psalm 33:11 (NLT) But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

Sometimes we become distracted, or overwhelmed, by feelings of not making progress. Sometimes we look more intensely at negative factors than we should. Sometimes we question our own value. Sometimes…

However, what we should do ALL THE TIME is remember that God's plan for us is the true driver of our purpose, progress and value! His plans stand forever! What God intends for us cannot be shaken!

Believe it!

HIS WAY, TRUTH & LIFE vs. our way, truth, & life

John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" 

Everything you really need or genuinely desire is found in Christ's Way, Truth, and Life--which is far, far better that your own way, truth, and life.

A New Look for a New Life

Ephesians 5:22 Throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. 23 Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. 24 You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness – righteous, holy, and true

It is interesting that even though we are already born-again and new creations in Christ, it is necessary to "throw off" all remnants of our former behavior.

Because we are new people, it is appropriate to change our surroundings and our mindset. This new life is like purchasing a house and then going in to take out leftover trash, repainting the walls, and removing all items related to the previous owner.

A new life needs a new look, a new mindset, and a fresh vision.

Most importantly, we need to look like Jesus Christ, live holy, and reflect his character to everyone around us.
