Hello Everyone,

Nehemiah showed Superior Organizational skills.

We see the phrase "next to him” over and over again in Chapter 3.

This thing is organized like a Swiss watch. Everyone knew their place and what was expected of them.

I believe in following the Spirit's leading, but I am totally opposed to flying by the seat of your pants. Some might say we organize the Holy Spirit right out of our church.

But God doesn't want chaos in His church.

He says all things must be done decently and 'in order.'

God believes in organization. The church is special, because we're not just an organization; we're an organism, a living, breathing entity.

God's Word instructs us in how to organize and prioritize our lives. We are not supposed to just live on whims and impulses.

We need to live for what is truly important, not just what is urgent. I want to live my life, not have others live it for me. I need to decide what is truly important, and the directions from God’s Word will help me.

God’s Word teaches that family is to be more important than work. No man ever lay on his death bed saying, "I wish I had spent more time at work."

And there's something more important than family, and that is God and His kingdom, His church, and things of eternal value.

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!

Pastor Phil
