The gates to God’s presence only open to Jesus, the one who lived with clean hands and a pure heart. We only get joined to Jesus when we open the gates of our hearts to him. That’s once for all for salvation. That’s also every single day of our lives for fellowship and mission. Lift up your hearts! Jesus declares that the gates will open for both of us, if we go with him. He asks us, urges us to lift up our eyes and see him. The King of glory wants to enter our hearts so he can take us with him into his Father’s presence. That’s eternal life that continues now.

Shouts of Joy!
November 15, 2020 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson
There is no need to stay in the dark any longer. No need to keep running. No need to be ducking out on God. When we keep silent about our sin, life dries up. When we confess the truth, we discover anew that God forgives sin. The way to the good life, the life of well being, is to enter this gospel dynamic day by day.
Joy Comes with the Morning

David’s songs are the intersection between what’s going on in his daily life, the deep places of his heart and soul, and the reality of the God he loves and serves. They come together as he writes his prayers with as much honesty and faith as he can summon.
