Thought for the Day by Phil Washington (BH Member)

​                       Cleanse me from my sin
 
‘According to your great compassion blot out my transgressions'                                         Psalm 51:1
 
David did a dreadful thing committing adultery with Bathsheba. Not only that, but in his efforts to cover up the sin, he had her husband, Uriah the Hittite killed. Uriah was an elite soldier, a faithful, loyal servant of the king. He's listed as being one of David's 'Mighty Warriors' in 2 Sam 23:39. David hoped to have got away with his sin without people knowing, but God sees and knows everything. Such behaviour was despicable in anyone's eyes, but especially in the eyes of the Holy God of Israel. It wasn't long before the prophet Nathan came to David and exposed his wickedness (2 Sam Ch 12). Thankfully, David was truly remorseful (not everyone is). It was in that deep state of repentance that David wrote Psalm 51. Here is the 'sinners prayer' to a merciful God.
 
Have you become aware of your sin? Does it haunt you and appear like an indelible black stain on your heart? Let me urge you to follow David's prayer here in Psalm 51 and gain true peace, forgiveness and restored joy.
 
1) Realise that you are a sinner, and that you have offended, and are separated, from God (v3,4).
2) Reach out to the Saviour who alone can cleanse you from sin (v1,2).
3) Repent - Be contrite and turn around leaving your sins behind (v3,17).
4) Receive God's forgiveness and restoration (v7,8,12).
 
Can believers fall as David did - and from such a height? Can God restore such sinners - and from such a depth? Yes, without a doubt, YES!
 
'Create in me a pure heart, O God' (Psalm 51:10)
 
Phil


Sunday Evening 6.30pm Services

Picture
In case you had wondered why there is no evening service shown on the ticket allocation system this is a reminder that you no longer have to sign up for this service - just turn up. That does not mean that Social Distancing does not apply, because it does in exactly the same way. Sit 3 chairs apart!
​Look forward to seeing you there.


Praying during the Pandemic

Picture
Please remember that we meet again, on Zoom, at 7.00pm this evening for 30 minutes to pray for our country. The link is on MyChurchSuite in the usual way. Look forward to seeing you there.
