Reflections in Nehemiah: Not Everyone Is Going to Heaven
Those who have no use for God before death will have no use for Him after death. If Heaven isn’t real for you now, it DEFINITELY won’t be ‘real’ for you when you die.

Reflections in Nehemiah: The Butler Did It!
Scholarship and other human accomplishments are not what qualify us for joining God’s workforce. God looks for devotion over degrees, desire over duty, enthusiasm over experience, fellowship over fame, and connection (to Him) over ‘connections’.
God used a butler
To build a city wall;
He can use you too,
If you answer His call.
Reflections in Nehemiah: Finding Comfort in Crisis
Jehovah comforts whom Jehovah enlightens.
The Parable of the Talents… “We are NOT saved by works, BUT we are saved to do works”
Salvation is NOT gained by works.. But works testify that salvation HAS taken place… “Faith without works is dead”.
Miracles of Jesus: The Ten Lepers… “It takes more faith to give our lives to Jesus than to receive healing.”
When Jesus is our Master, we focus on how we can GLORIFY Him, not on how He can SATISFY us.
Miracles of Jesus: The Nobleman’s Son… Faith produces Miracles, but Miracles don’t produce Faith!
Repeatedly, the Bible tells the believer: “Don’t be afraid”, “God will help you”, “God will supply ALL your needs”, etc. Yet, far too frequently, believers sit on the sidelines too afraid to test the waters.
Encounters with Jesus: The Widow’s Mite… “Only Faith will enable us to give until we have nothing left.”
We are never too poor to give… We are never too impoverished to help someone else.
The Parable of the Two Sons: “It’s not how you start… It’s how you finish!”
“This parable also shows us that it’s not how we start that matters, it’s how we finish.”
