Nehemiah had a heart to please God. You can see that so clearly in his prayer in verse 31 (as well as v14, 22 and throughout the book). He demonstrated that in this passage by rebuking and then purifying the priests and Levites “from everything foreign.” God had blessed Solomon, yet he still sinned against God by marrying foreign wives, and now they were doing the same thing. Love for God also means doing what He says (1 Sam. 15:22; Deut. 30:16, 19-20, 11:1; John 14:15...). What He tells me is for my good and for His glory. I do love Him and I pray I'll always have a heart to honor Him and say no to temptations (big or “small”). Also, I want to help brothers where I can with accountability. Nehemiah did this using the word of God. It's not always to rebuke, but I want to speak the truth in love, seasoned with grace. I love Him and love them, so want to do this. I'll be praying for wisdom that I may be ready when/if God wants me to do this in the future.
Thanks for sharing. Nehemiah cared little for what people thought. He wasn't afraid of taking the hard stand. But he did often ask God to remember what he had done for Him.
The Sabbath day is applicable now and until in heaven. It is the seventh-day of the week, and that is unchangeable. Saturday is always the seventh-day.. We need to be back to God's commandments as we love Jesus because He first loved us.
Bro specific day is very important for God. Sabbath day, the seventh-day of the week has not changed by God but only changed by man. But is there any man higher than God?
Ole days ppl didn't interfere with your job.. today the sabatheth has been used as a stumbling block.. I worked as a dishwasher I had no choice but to work on sunday... but now I'm un I unemployed classified as a mental case. Wow.. way to go government
What can you do BEFORE you get married to help ensure that your marriage will last?

I agree that inter-marriage should not be allowed because of the damage to the beliver and the children in the marriage.
Agreed!
He was right to order the gates to be closed and to place guards by them, in order to enforce his words and protect the Sabbath.

Great Video! Can you do a video on Moses seeing GOD back also how to finding information on surrounding the verses?
Hey. I do plan to go through Exodus at some point, but it may be a while until I get there.
