If Christianity is the true Faith, then what does that imply about every other religion? It means that every other faith is a false faith. This is not easy for us to hear, nor is it easy for the secular world to hear – but we cannot shy away from the Truth just because it is difficult. Trinity Sunday therefore reminds us that a profession of faith in God as Trinity is to assert the exclusivity of the Gospel message.

Book: 1 Corinthians, Amos, Matthew, Psalms
What can the US debt ceiling teach us about the Christian life? It demonstrates the attitude of our wider culture, even among Christians. We have no desire to do the hard work of self-examination and repentance. We don’t want to embrace the struggle of a life of holiness, following Christ. We just want more stuff! We want to be comfortable, and we don’t want to be reminded that we must be holy, just as God is holy.
