The walls are broken down. ( Luke 15 v 11 ff )

 I am just beginning to study the book of Nehemiah whom God used to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, this took place when the Jews had returned from Babylon.Nehemiah served king Artaxerxes as his cup bearer, when news was brought to him of the state of those in Jerusalem,and that the walls of Jerusalem was broken down. This disturbed him greatly,he wept,prayed and fasted,in reading this it reminded me how far the moral walls in our society are in ruins.This came home to me recently while on holiday`, I noticed many young people in our hotel and how most of those young were more than likely were sleeping together.Of course the spiritual walls have fallen down also,eroded by the steady drip of so many things,that are contrary to humanities well being . When this happens things can only become worse, sex becomes the all. I heard of a single young girl who was expecting, she was devastated,the father did not want to know,she said,'he told me he loved me'.Consider how many children are being aborted, conceived not out of love ,but out of lust. It is all part of a situation, when things will not become better, only worse, when God is forsaken,and Christ is rejected,we move more and more into the darkness.                                                                                                                                             Jesus said,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will                                                                              never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.
