Gospel Hinges

Deuteronomy 6:6, 9:
These words that I command you today ... You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
The door is the gateway to the outside world and back into the home. It needs to turn on gospel hinges. It is the entry way to both realms because it must govern our interactions in both places. In My Life for Yours: A Walk Through the Christian Home, Douglas Wilson points out that the door is also a protection from the outside world. Sometimes the door needs to be firmly shut.
