The Inadequacies (or Failure) of Every Reformation - Nehemiah 13

Nehemiah 12:43 > The High Point of Reformation!
Nehemiah 12:44-47 & 13:1-3 > Two Appendices
Nehemiah 13:4-31 > Coda (Failure)

Including two audio excerpts featuring Don Carson: "We earnestly seek reformation, but help us never to be so foolish as to imagine that by our reforms, by our organization, by our gifts, somehow we will bring in utopia.  For this, merciful God, we await in eager anticipation the return of your dear Son, and we cry, 'Have mercy upon us. Come, Lord Jesus, come.'  Amen."
