About this listen

 This is a book about sexual purity. It was born from a deep desire to see men get free of the sexual idolatry we have been practicing. It’s time for us to make a stand for sexual purity. It won’t be easy. The world and even some in the church will laugh at our attempts. They will say that we are over-reacting, that we are blind to the times we live in. I hope to convince you differently. This battle is of utmost importance for Christian men. As long as we engage in sexual idolatry, we have no integrity to lead. Our spiritual walls are down, and the enemy has free access to our hearts and our minds. Rebuilding our walls will take courageous leadership in the face of heavy opposition. Thankfully, we have a blueprint for just such leadership in the book of Nehemiah. A Different Approach The book of Nehemiah is a great story that has much to teach us about courage, leadership, faithfulness to God’s call and more. Without discounting any of these approaches to the book, I would like to approach it from a different perspective. Consider the book of Nehemiah as a metaphor, as a vivid word picture of God’s plan for spiritual purity in our lives. To unlock the metaphor, you only need a few simple keys. The Temple / Your Heart In reading Nehemiah, whenever it talks about the temple, substitute your heart. In Old Testament times, God met with his people in first the Tabernacle and then the Temple. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross eliminated the need to meet in a building. When God meets with us today, it’s in our hearts. He has removed our heart of stone, and given us a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 11:19) Jerusalem / Your Mind Since the time of David, Jerusalem has been at the center of God’s holy and chosen people. This city, where the king lived, created policy and law, judged the law and carried out the business of the kingdom, represents your mind. It’s the enemy’s primary target, because he knows that he can reach your heart only by getting into your head. The Walls / Your Relationship with Christ Walls in Old Testament times were essential to a city. They provided protection for the city and its people. The height of your walls represent the health of your relationship with Christ. They are the boundaries you have set up around your heart and mind to protect them. Without your walls, you have no ability to resist temptation. You may not want to act out sexually, but you have no defenses to prevent it. The Gates / Your Eyes, Your Ears & Your Mouth The gates of a city allowed things in and out, and they were guarded diligently against attack. Your gates are your eyes and ears. What you choose to allow in through your gates determines the condition of your heart and mind.
