Dr. Akins uses Nehemiah's story in Thanksgiving message By Jesse Harp, student news writer CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Dr. C.B. Akins, pastor of First Baptist Church, Bracktown, in Lexington, Ky., spoke about prayer and giving thanks at Campbellsville University's Thanksgiving chapel recently. "I believe it is up to the church to remind the world that we still need to give thanks," Akins said. Akins began his message by deriving scripture from the book of Nehemiah chapter 2. In this passage, Nehemiah's king asks him why he looks sad although he is not ill, and determines that it must be sadness of heart. Although Nehemiah was afraid, he told the king that the city where his fathers are buried lies in ruins and gates have been burned. The king asks Nehemiah what he wants, after which Nehemiah prayed to God and answered the king, "If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my fathers are buried so that I can rebuild it."
