Let Us Rise Up and Build

The Lord stirred up the hearts of the people to build the house of the Lord...and the people of the Lord put their minds to work and their hands to work to build the house of the Lord. And in that tandem of Divine decree and human responsibility God ordained boundaries that insured the building of the house of God even if it meant putting a decree upon the lips and tongue of King Cyrus and King Darius. Preparation of the heart in man and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. There is a pragmatic and blessed application for our church. God will establish protected boundaries around the ministry of this church so that she can do the job God leads her to do. That is great comfort to the church of God.
