Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8) This morning at Wesley I will be teaching about purity of heart and the housecleaning choice. Everyone has the stain of sin and is in need of the savior’s sacrifice to make possible a new heart, pure and holy. In Psalm 51 David asked God for a new heart after his sin with Bathseba. Every human is tainted with the effect of sin and needs to be washed, cleansed, remade, forgiven. A rock guitarist, Brian “Head” Welch walked into a church in Bakersfield, California in 2005 high on methanpetamines looking for a new life, and found Jesus Christ. He resigned from his band Korn, and is today walking with Jesus Christ and teaching others the Way.
Guide me holy Lord as I preach and teach, communicating the necessity of self-examination, the potential for new life, new heart, and the possibility of seeing You, in this life and the next. May the four services of worship, complete with new members joining be a means of grace today for many people.
