A New Heart for the Valley Week 4, Day 7

A PURE HEART

 

ROMANS 8:28-30

 

In scripture, we see God through the person of Jesus. Eventually, we shall see God “face to face.” But there is a third aspect to the promise that we shall see God if we are able to will one thing. Purity of heart allows us to see God at work in the people around us and in the VPC community. Lives changing, ministries thriving, people serving—our everyday lives come alive with the vitality of his presence. The greater our purity of heart, the more God can reveal to us about his acts of salvation, redemption, and soul-shaping sanctification.

 

 

Can you see God at work in and through VPC?

 

Tell someone about what you see.

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
