Aug. 12, 2007 - Blessed are the Pure in Heart...
for they shall see God.
Every other Thursday night or ladies class meets. We are still studying Martin Lloyd-Jones book on the beatitudes. It has been a wonderful study and I encourage each of you, if you haven't to read it at some point.
Last Thursday we discussed his sermon on the pure in heart.
I have always beaten myself up when I sin. I think I, with the help of the Holy Spirit, should be able to put the sin behind me. I HATE it when I sin. As I'm almost certain each of you reading would too.
Now I don't have to... and neither do you. It's so simple, I can't understand I didn't realize it before.
The keyword is DESIRE! Do I desire to pure in heart? Yes. Am I repentant when I sin? YES! Then I qualify, and so do you.
See how simple it is? Isn't it wonderful.
