Nehemiah 2:2
1. Dr. W.W. Landrum was often heard to say, ''A Christian should have a heart twenty-five thousand miles in circumference.''
2.

In fact, if this heart condition is not found in us, it reveals that there is a serious heart condition for which we should be alarmed.

And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.''
2. There came a day when Nehemiah's brother and some friends paid him a visit. One of the first things Nehem ...
