“[The Eucharist] embodies the actual presence of the grace it represents; and this grace is the very life of the Lord Jesus Christ himself."
- John Nevin, The Mystical Presence (1867)THAT is good (or better yet, faithful) Reformational sacramental theology (as opposed to the shallow memorialist theology that has infected too many Protestant churches)! That is theology that has meat to it and invites us to come, truly experience the Lord, and be utterly transformed as we encounter him. It is theology for the whole person and the whole of life, not just the life of the mind.

One of the gifts one encounters in being a minister is the opportunity to administer the sacraments to your own children. Today I baptized my daughter Eden and spoke those precious words to her: “For you Jesus Christ came into the world; for you he died and for you he conquered death; All this he did for you, little one, though you know nothing of it as yet.
We love because God first loved us.” -
I realized recently that in my several years here at Saint Maryʻs, Iʻd not done (to my recollection) a class on Baptism. So consider this a bit of #Baptism 101 for those interested (and join us live at 6:00 pm Hawaiʻi time, or whenever after).

Why should those who are #Reformed & #evangelical insist on the importance of #liturgical #worship ?
Because:
1) Worship is always presented as liturgical in the #Bible
2) Liturgical worship is the historic/universal form of the Church’s worship.
3) Liturgical worship is #sacramental - it presents the Gospel not only via the word, but also through the #sacraments ordained by God - and as such it is more faithfully biblical.
4) ALL the magisterial reformers worshipped liturgically.
5) Biblically shaped liturgy is missionally oriented - it shapes the worshipper for/towards #mission .
6) Liturgy is formative of “sticky” #faith : a) because it engages a person’s whole being, it tends to reinforce faith wholistically (not merely intellectually), b) because it is is sacramental the person TANGIBLY encounters God’s #grace , c) because historic liturgy is robustly biblical it soaks the person in Scripture, and d) because it is patterned/repetitive it becomes engrained. -
