strange there is an empty tomb uninhabited by the dead body that was locked in three days ago then the man who died appeared to various people telling them he is alive then the various people to whom he appeared whom he has known for years did not recognize him they were able to see him only after he gave them the gift of sight read more apr 6 2026 oct 6 2025 the christian hope of the resurrection oct 6 2025 most christians do not understand the hope of resurrection if you ask typical christians what they hope for they will say that they hope to go to heaven when they die heaven is a place of rest comfort and anticipation but it is not a final state read more oct 6 2025 jun 25 2025 becoming a missionary diocese jun 25 2025 our call to mission combines the pursuit of holiness through a life of prayer in community and heart for the wounded and the lost that desires to share what we have with others however a reorientation around the pursuit of holiness leading to mission does not happen by osmosis but must be a purposeful and persevering effort to reorient the church around interior formation and outward mission read more jun 25 2025 sep 11 2024 seek first the kingdom of god sep 11 2024 in matthew 6 24 34 jesus is not saying you might want to consider a little bit of the kingdom in your life seek first the kingdom of god is a command from the lord of the universe he is telling us how to live he contrasts two ways of life seeking first the kingdom on the one hand and serving mammon on the other read more sep 11 2024 aug 18 2024 a life of humility aug 18 2024 the lessons and st paul s life provide some reflections on the sin of pride and the corresponding virtue of humility pride and humility are often misunderstood the chief errors are to mistake justifiable confidence for pride and to associate humility with a lack of self worth or self esteem we develop humility when we stop looking at others and start looking at god specifically when we start looking at jesus read more aug 18 2024 apr 26 2024 god s justice vs fleshly lusts that war against the soul apr 26 2024 being upset with injustice is not wrong nor is it wrong for each of us to have political opinions about the best way to work for more justice in the world the problem arises when a desire for some form of justice in this world becomes the ultimate thing for a follower of jesus christ faith comes to be seen as tool to be used in service to some temporal idea of justice the kingdom of god serves the temporal order this kind of fleshly lust wars against the soul because the soul longs for god s kingdom not just the political victory of one side in this world read more apr 26 2024 feb 11 2024 on liturgy translation and revision feb 11 2024 i have previously addressed changes to the anglican liturgy that have taken place in the last fifty plus years these changes have been two fold first revising the liturgy to make it more palatable to modern theology and sentiment second developing liturgical options that suit different tastes there is a distinction between revision and translation to translate is to render a word or concept in another language or idiom with the intention of retaining the same meaning to revise is to change the meaning these two issues were often confused in liturgical revision it was argued that older words needed to be translated into modern language so people could understand them however this was merely cover for revision a change in meaning read more feb 11 2024 feb 8 2024 spiritual growth reflections on the parable of the sower feb 8 2024 easter is not merely a future feast day easter is a new experience of resurrection that we enter into through a new experience of the cross our cross is the horticultural work we embrace in lent we can consider over the coming days what is needed for the seed of god s work to become more deeply rooted in our hearts lent will give us an opportunity for extended horticultural work towards the goal of long term growth as jesus said in conclusion to our parable the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard the word with a noble and good heart keep it and bear fruit with patience read more feb 8 2024 dec 4 2023 on liturgy liturgy and experience dec 4 2023 our experience of liturgy is important here we encounter the tension between objective truth reality and subjective emotion experience some christians focus on objective truth and discount the emotional experience of the truth the therapeutic orientation of our culture tends to focus on our feelings at the expense of the truth read more dec 4 2023 nov 21 2023 on liturgy the 1928 book of common prayer nov 21 2023 the liturgy of continuing anglicans in america is rooted in the 1928 book of common prayer bcp the 1928 bcp is important because it is the last american book of common prayer common prayer is more than a liturgy a congregation says together common prayer is the common liturgy of the church that expresses the church s common faith read more nov 21 2023 oct 19 2023 creating evangelism today oct 19 2023 we have entered into a new world and we have to approach evangelism in a new way and how do we create evangelism in that world the missionary orientation we realize now consists of a couple of things inwardly it consists of a community committed to its life of prayer for its own formation its own prayer and its own growth in the fruits of the spirit in its own midst unless you have a life of prayer you have nothing to offer anybody who s coming and then secondarily with that is a genuine love of souls that is we really would like to minister to people who aren t us and as natural as that sounds that heart for those who are not us is not present everywhere read more oct 19 2023 aug 19 2023
