Polhill—Anglican Calvinist—observes inhumanity in his era exceeded what existed before Christ arrived to deliver a Lecture of Love. The Incarnation provided two things: a renewed command to love, and a new motive—God giving his Son. Deriving neighborly ethics from orthodox Christology is precisely what Polhill does. Fewer orthodox pastors today would describe the Incarnation’s purpose that way.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

1 Peter 2:9 #Bible #JesusChrist #holiness

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 1, ch. 2, § 8 (1951)

John McDowell, Presbyterian preacher, noted that oppression often looks quite respectable: lawsuits designed not to win justice but to exhaust the other party into surrender. One might say this still happens. Yet mention “oppression” in church and people gasp—as if the Bible itself hadn’t brought it up first. The question, then, is awkwardly simple: are we defending justice, or merely protecting our profits?

#Paul encouraged the Corinthian #Christians to cleanse themselves from anything that might defile them so they might work toward #holiness before God. 

Paul also had taught how we have all #sinned and cannot earn our #salvation and how we are reckoned as holy and righteous because of #Jesus' redemptive #sacrifice.

Martin Luther basically says every Christian hosts a daily argument between “Old Adam” and a conscience trained by Scripture. One wants holiness; the other wants snacks, shortcuts, and another pint. True faith trains the heart to praise Christ, serve neighbors, and stop cheating people. Beer optional. Moses still teaching.

Luther, peering at Psalm 14, says the real atheist isn’t the loud one but the numb one: the person who neither expects good from God nor seeks Him, and so grows hard, joyless, and oddly hostile—more inclined to wound than to help.

Now, if you look around and see people campaigning against kindness itself, that doesn’t exactly refute Luther.

So—how do you actually dwell on God’s goodness until it softens you?

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

The instant we admit that a book is too sacred to be doubted, or even reasoned about, we are mental serfs. It is infinitely absurd to suppose that a god would address a communication to intelligent beings, and yet make it a crime, to be punished in eternal flames, for them to use their intelligence for the purpose of understanding his communication. If we have the right to use our reason, we certainly have the right to act in accordance with it, and no god can have the right to punish us for such action.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

We dabble in the Qur’án now and then,
Read, and repent, yet fall from Grace again;
But in the goblet is engraved a text
That greets eternally the eyes of men.
 
قرآن که بهین کلام خوانند اورا
گه گاه نه بر دوام خوانند اورا
در خطِ پیاله آیتی روشن هست
کاندر همه جا مدام خوانند اورا

Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 6 [tr. Talbot (1908)]

Our Lady of Lourdes' messages to St. Bernadette remind us of humility, prayer, and trust in God's plan. In today's fast-paced world, young people can find hope and purpose through these teachings. Our Lady encourages us to pray for others and perform small acts of kindness, showing that our actions can bring God's love into the world. Inspired by Mary's example, we are called to holiness and to be temples of the Holy Spirit. #OurLadyofLourdes #Faith #Prayer #Holiness https://young-catholics.com/2361/our-lady-of-lourdes-lesson-plan/

Holiness is for everyone and involves building a relationship with God, not being perfect. St. Peter's story shows that holiness begins with small acts of trust. As an ordinary fisherman, Peter followed Jesus by saying "yes," starting his path of holiness. This journey requires effort and courage, as with any important relationship. Holiness is about allowing God into your life, not perfection. #Holiness #FaithJourney #TrustInGod https://young-catholics.com/13711/fishy-business-a-lesson-plan-on-holiness/

This is the view of the main worship space at Saint Mary’s I see when I enter from my office. For some reason, whenever I enter the space and take my reverent pause, I feel that it’s a place full of anticipation. Perhaps it’s the anticipation of godly encounters? Regardless, it’s clear that *something* WANTS to happen here. I just hope we’re faithful enough and open enough to just *let* it happen.
