Seven years ago I moved back to Ruston. I didn’t have many friends, and my dreams to work in film were harder to reach. Little did I know, that was all about to change. I discovered a place called The Wesley Foundation.

Through the Psalms we come to know David as a man after God’s own heart. Within this first half of Psalm 34 we can point to phrases such as ‘I will bless the Lord at all times,’ and ‘I sought the Lord,’ as reasons as to why he might be named as a man after God’s own heart. David is poetic and heartfelt in his speech, and it is by his words that he is known as a man after God’s own heart. The words out of our mouths are what speak life around us.

We must remember as we go about the work of proclaiming the Gospel that the choice to listen to or to reject us, and by extension Christ, is not ours to make for the students on this campus. Let us not rush to judgment when we are not received by the town; when the town chooses to reject us and the Christ in Whose Name we come, let us not in condemnation cast them down to Hades. Let us, instead, remember our own repentance, our own mourning in sackcloth and ashes, when we, too, rejected those who came bearing the Name of Christ.
