I Timothy 3:14-16
I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of truth. Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great: He was revealed in flesh, vindicated in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.
Prayer Ultimately Matters, so Pray with me:
Lord God, I read the passage above and think that one of the problems with the church of our generations is that we have shied away from the great mysteries of faith. We have tried to make everything so….reasonable. How can human experience of the transcendent God, creator of all that is, be reduced to simple maxims and easy explanations? I pray that, at St. Andrew’s, we’ll be given grace to embrace the mystery, rather than try to explain it. And really: All we really need is the love you’ve shown us in Jesus. All we need is love, and faith in God above. Amen.

I Timothy 3:14-16
I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of truth. Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great: He was revealed in flesh, vindicated in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.
Prayer Ultimately Matters, so Pray with me:
Lord God, I read the passage above and think that one of the problems with the church of our generations is that we have shied away from the great mysteries of faith. We have tried to make everything so….reasonable. How can human experience of the transcendent God, creator of all that is, be reduced to simple maxims and easy explanations? I pray that, at St. Andrew’s, we’ll be given grace to embrace the mystery, rather than try to explain it. And really: All we really need is the love you’ve shown us in Jesus. All we need is love, and faith in God above. Amen.
