Matthew 11:29: take my yoke upon you. The yoke is not effortless but good, kind, well-fitting, shaped for the one who wears it. The burden of Christ is light not because following costs nothing but because he carries it alongside us. #Biblestr #ChristIsKing #Christianity

July 4. The BCP appoints Matthew 5:43–48 as the Gospel: love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, be perfect as your Father is perfect. The collect asks we exercise our liberties in righteousness and peace. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #IndependenceDay

June 29: Peter and Paul. On the shore of Tiberias, Jesus asks Peter three times: do you love me? The same number he denied. Each question overrides a denial. Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep. And then: follow me. This is what restoration looks like. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity

June 29: Peter and Paul. One who denied and was restored. One who persecuted and was arrested by grace. They argued in Antioch. They were martyred in Rome. The Church has never thought it necessary to choose between them. That is what the joint feast says. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity

June 24: Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist. One of only two births celebrated in the Anglican calendar, the other being Christmas. The Church does not observe birthdays generally.

In a world that hides dependence behind supply chains and packaged goods, Rogation Sunday does something quietly subversive: takes us outside, sets us on our feet, and teaches us to ask — holding out empty hands to the Lord of heaven and earth. Ancient faith for modern times. 🌿

Most churches are bursting at the seams on Christmas and Easter. Filled with people we haven’t seen 4-8 months, many we’ve never seen before and won’t see again. Something about these two Holy Days that draws a crowd. We’ve come to affectionately call such people the “Chreasters”.
I encourage you not to be a “Chreaster”. Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, followed by Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, The Great Vigil, and Easter Sunday.
Try attending all services this week and be drawn into the weight of your sin and the utter relief of grace on Easter Sunday.

Third Sunday in Lent: She came to the well alone. At noon. When no one would see her. Jesus was already waiting, knowing every chapter, every failure, every empty jar. He sees the full ledger of our lives and still he offers. That is what makes his grace so astonishing. He crosses every boundary to find those of us who have quietly stopped believing anyone would come for us. The living water is not for people who have cleaned themselves up. It is for anyone who has been coming to the same well for years, still thirsty, quietly hoping that this time might be different. Come to the well of living water. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Lent

The apostles, once scared and hiding after the crucifixion, spread across the Roman world proclaiming the risen Christ after the resurrection. Most faced brutal deaths: crucifixion, beheading, stoning, spearing, burning. They had nothing earthly to gain, everything to lose. They claimed to be eyewitnesses of the resurrection. Liars don’t endure torture and martyrdom without recanting. Their unwavering conviction is hard to explain without genuine belief in what they saw. #biblestr #christianity #grownostr

We all are made for God. That infinite longing in our heart isn’t a glitch—it’s a homing signal pointing back to Him. Every time we’ve tried to quiet it with something created instead of the Creator, we’ve ended up emptier and more restless. That’s certainly my experience. Only when we stop running and turn to Christ does the ache start to find its answer—not in fleeting highs, but in a deep, steady peace that survives the storms. #Biblestr #Christianity #Grownostr

Philippians 4:13 — ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ — is probably the most misquoted verse in the Bible. Athletes tattoo it for victory, motivational speakers slap it on success memes, others for success in whatever they do. But read the context (Phil 4:11-13): Paul is saying he’s learned to be content in any circumstance. Abundance or hunger, plenty or need, because Christ gives him strength to endure it all. Not a promise of unlimited achievement. A declaration of supernatural contentment amid hardship. It is about enduring lows. #Biblestr #ChristIsKing #Memestr

In this Second Sunday of Lent sermon, we follow Nicodemus—a powerful, educated religious leader—as he slips into the night to seek out Jesus. What he encounters shatters every assumption about how we earn our way to God. Through John 3:1–16, Romans 4, and Psalm 33, one truth emerges with striking clarity: no amount of religion, intellect, or moral achievement can produce what only God can give—a life born from above. Just as Abraham was justified by faith, not performance, we are invited to stop striving and start trusting. And at the center of it all stands the cross—the ultimate "lifting up"—where the remedy for our broken condition was made available to whoever believes.

Had some tree work done by the pros. We are starting to get our view back. We keep working on the smaller stuff until we can save up to get the pros back again. #grownostr #naturstr

That’s a true statement. It can also be challenging to find a “good” church these days. Even the best church is a messy organization because it is made up of messy people. Yet we are exhorted not to forsake the gathering of ourselves. When we do, we slowly become like the ember that popped out of the fire onto the hearth, no longer glowing just beginning to be snuffed out. Find a church that preaches the gospel well, administers the sacraments regularly, and has a few folks that you can deeply connect with. “It is not good for man to be alone.” We need a regular diet of God’s word and community in order to go deep into faith. Everything else seems secondary, ie., a musical style, programs, location, ancient architecture or big box retail store front. Some would argue that they are fine on their own, and that works for a season. It has in my own life at times. But, as a long term strategy, it is not a very good one, imho.
