Acting on a principle that God's house will be respected, Nehemiah threw out the enemy who was living in God's house. We show respect for God's house today by 1) recognizing that what we do for God and the way we do it matters more than just getting a job done, and 2) leaving behind our baggage of how things "ought" to be done in God's house. These ideas will not be tolerated; they will be thrown out. VF-2017 Nehemiah 13:1-9 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.
