Pure in Heart

  Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.  – Matthew 5:8

Many people today wonder why they can’t see God or the things that he does. The answer is in Matthew and it’s pretty clear. Jesus tells the people that those who are able to see God, whether in this life or the next, are the ones that continually cleanse their hearts.
Jesus wanted the people to focus on the interior not the exterior. The Jewish religious leaders focused on cleansing and washing the outward, i.e the instruments of worship, the hands before eating, the clothes, etc. Jesus wanted us to focus on the inward, the heart. It is not the outward appearance, but the inward that allows us to see God. If we are trying to find God in the things that we do, we are going to miss him. But it is when a person cleanses their heart that they can see God. When we are able to see God, we will know how blessed we are.

I find myself captivated by Wisteria every year at this time. Partly because it was Cathy’s favorite spring time flower. She really like the purple blooms. But we never planted any and neither does Jane have any interest in planting Wisteria. The opening words of an...

Got A Question?

Do you have a question you would love to ask Jesus? What would it be? He was certainly asked a lot of questions. Like the one Peter asked about the future of his fellow apostle, John. Jesus’ answer? “What is that to you? Be faithful to me.” He didn’t always give an...

After God’s Own Heart

by | February 7, 2023 | Pulpit Minister | 0 Comments

David, King of Israel, was described as a man after God’s own heart. I can imagine other biblical characters who would fall under the same category. What about us? Can we come close to that kind of heart? How did David get there? From his childhood he had a deep and...

It may have been about 2005 when we moved into our current subdivision. Our house was one of the first houses built in our area of the subdivision. I’m not trying to offer that as an excuse for what happened, but then again, I may be. Entering our subdivision the...
