Welcome to The Wicket Gate

When Christian finally makes it to the Wicket Gate after many a set back, he desires to know how to release his burden. The gate keeper, Good Will, says to Christian, "As to thy burden, be content to bear it until thou comest to the place of deliverance; for there it will fall from thy back itself." The gate keeper's job was to direct Christian to the cross of Christ.

In Matthew 7: 13 & 14, Jesus stated, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

According to Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, a wicket gate is: "A small gate or door, especially one forming part of, or placed near, a larger door or gate."

Thus the reasons for the name of our humble blog, a small gate amongst many large ones. Our goal with this blog is to help direct unbelievers to Christ and to help other Christians along in their personal relationships with our Mighty God. In the process, we also desire to grow in our relationship with Christ Jesus. Each week we hope to post one or two of the following: ideas, musings, movie and music reviews, nutritional tips, important theological points, the love of Christ, and the hope we have in Him.

But our family also wants to learn and grow from you. As iron sharpens iron, so we desire to hear your comments and the truth God has revealed to you through Scripture. We would love to have you post comments (in fact we highly encourage it!) and even would enjoy articles from you in response to subjects mentioned in postings. All we ask is that it be based on Scripture and that its goal would be to glorify Christ and Him crucified.

So we eagerly begin our blog and this journey with you as we work out our faith with fear and trembling, trusting that God in his mercy and grace will continue to reveal "how high and long, wide and deep is the love of Christ" for his children.
