In Revelation we learn that the city of God will be a wonderful place, open for business 24/7. It's gates will never be closed and anyone can go in or out. Those wanting to approach the temple of God can go right in and at night there's no fear of thieves or robbers coming in and stealing your stuff.

I don't know about you but I privately moan every Christmas season because the doors to most churches will be shut from November through January. The staff and majority of serving church members will be on vacation leave and the facility doors will be locked. The sign on the street tells them "Merry Christmas" or God loves you" while they peep through the glass door to see if anyone's home. This in a time when the world needs most to know there's a refuge for those in trouble.

This Christmas season, when God needs someone home to minister, will your gates be open? Will you be on call?
