If we're going to rebuild a society, if we're going to rebuild this community, it will only come because there's a divine frame of reference at the top.

Dr. Tony Evans says positive change and stability depend on people in leadership who see life through God's eyes.

It's true in the home. It's true in the church. It's true in the society.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr.

Tony Evans.

Nehemiah had a vision to restore the dignity of God's people when he called them to rebuild Jerusalem's broken walls.

But even after the walls were complete, his mission was far from

over. Today, Dr. Evans explains that restoring a community takes more than fixing its physical

structures. It requires rebuilding its spiritual foundation as well. Let's join him as he unpackes

this important truth. Nehemiah has, from a human standpoint, done the impossible.

But rather than being finished, he's just gotten started. One would think that we could have had

the benediction at the end of chapter six. Because we closed last time with verse 15 of chapter six.

So the wall was completed. And when all of our enemies heard of it and all of the

nation surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence.

For they recognized that this had been accomplished with the help of our God.

Verse one of chapter 7 opens up with, now it came about when the wall was rebuilt the walls are up the city has been secured but there's always a problem whenever you fix something

when you fix a house you still have one remaining problem when you fix a house, you still have one remaining problem.

When you fix a business, you have one remaining problem.

When you fix a build or repair or school, you have one remaining problem.

And the problem is that people still live there.

You know, this world would be wonderful if it weren't for people.

We wouldn't have to worry about crime if it weren't for people.
