“Who with the Father and the Son, he is worshiped and glorified” Why is this in the creed? It solves a problem: there is no reference in the Bible to the adoration of the Holy Spirit as God. But, if the Holy Spirit is God (and He is), then He must be. anglicancompass.com/we-believe-w...

We continue our We Believe series on the Nicene Creed with "And His Kingdom Will Have No End." Joe Colletti (aka "Young Anglican") ruminates on what the idea of God's kingdom means for us: anglicancompass.com/we-believe-a...

How do you navigate schisms within the church with clarity, charity, and grace? Fr. Dan Hixon has been trying to do just that on his YouTube channel since 2019: anglicancompass.com/a-wesley-ang...

1/ There is nothing that demonstrates Christian Nationalism-driven American Evangelicalism as clearly as a man with a Cross on his back ... with a wheel underneath it to make the load easier to carry.

2/ The Cross of Christ is heavy enough that it requires ALL of our being to lift it and follow Jesus. The bloody Cross of Christ weighs as much as the whole world it holds up to God. It weighs as much as every soul, put together, it exists to reunite with Christ.

3/ The Cross will always be heavy, onerous, and foreign to those who hold Caesar's scepter and sword. The hands that relinquish the sword and Caesar's staff will find its weight changes as Christ takes up the burden.

4/ A Cross on a wheel is a perfect metaphor for those who try to performatively carry the Cross, but make the load light, artificially. /ENDS (Foto by: Charly Triballeau)

John Tillotson, #Anglican, notes the story of Cornelius from Acts 10:30ff: prayers and alms came up before the Lord. He says alms should accompany prayers. Some may object to this quid pro quo, but then pray for hours as an unbiblical, quid pro quo to demand God’s favor. #prayer #discipleship

John Chrysostom, bishop of Constantinople, heard objections to the washing of servant’s feet. But Christ, actually greater than us, did so. We should not treat those freed by Christ as mere bondmen, bought with money. How can you treat people as equals? #christian

The fruit of a Jesus revival will be people doing justly, loving mercy. & walking humbly with their God while embodying the good Fruit of the Spirit: love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness & self control

Jesus’s Gospel revival honours & lifts up the lowly, the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, the outcast, those thirsty & hungry for justice, the peacemakers, the humble, the meek. It sees enemies loved. It sees the tools of war reforged into the tools of re-creation.

Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. Truth. Wisdom. Honor. The followers of Jesus will embody & value these things.

“The promise of the gospel is not that we will never fall, or never fear, or never fail. It is that, even when we do, we remain in God’s love. That love does not wait on the other side of our fear. God meets us within it.”

A psalm that has sustained me: Because he has his heart set on me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. When he calls out to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and give him honor. —Psalm 91:14

Have you ever heard the Bible in Old English? This Creationtide, listen to the Old English translation of the Genesis story of creation, made by the Anglo-Saxon monk Ælfric in the tenth century - the first time people in England heard the Bible in church in their native language.
