During VPC's Capital Campaign we'll take an excerpt from Pastor Joynt's daily devotional. It will be a call to action to listen, pray, or engage with A New Heart for the Valley. You can get your own daily devotional in each worship center or online: vpc.church/devotional. Devotional: A Pure Heart Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Purity of heart is far more than the capacity we can have to avoid certain kinds of bodily deeds or mental pollutions. It is less about avoiding thoughts and actions than it is about the ability to have a singular, overriding purpose, a driving direction which unifies your whole life. Soren Kierkegaard, Danish Christian philosopher, called it being able to “will one thing.”
