Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to that of your servants who delight to revere your name. —Nehemiah 1:11
Where are the Nehemiahs of our day? Where are the men and women who love God supremely, who fear nothing but God? Where are the saints whose lives are above reproach—in their homes, their work, their speech, their habits, their finances, and their relationships?
Where are the believers whose hearts ache when they see an unholy church entertaining herself to death and whose knees are sore from pleading with God to grant the gift of repentance?
Where are the Christian leaders with the compassion and the courage to call the church to be clean before God? Where are the moms and dads and young people willing to deal thoroughly and decisively with everything that’s unholy in their hearts and homes?
The church has been waiting for the world to get right with God. When will we realize that the world is waiting for the church to get right with God? We can scarcely imagine the impact that will be felt when we do.
