    The Veil Torn

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 339 views

    When Jesus died, God Himself tore the temple curtain from top to bottom—forever removing every barrier between His holiness and our hearts. The way into His presence is wide open, not by our efforts or rituals, but by the finished work of Christ.

    Introduction – A Wall Comes Down, A Veil Is Rent Down I still remember the summer of 1964 when our family crossed from West Germany into East. We were crammed into a Volkswagen bus—my parents up front, four sisters and two brothers jammed shoulder to shoulder. The youngest, little Sarah, was still ...read more

    Presence Over Praise

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 146 views

    When we choose God’s presence over applause, faithful service over spotlight, and trust in waiting over instant recognition, our hearts are shaped for His glory

    There is something sacred in the ordinary. A simple door. A gate. A threshold. A doorkeeper. The one who watches, opens, welcomes, guards. In the temple system of old, the doorkeeper had no glamorous role. Few songs were written about him. He rarely stood in the spotlight. But without him, people ...read more
