Memory, Identity, and Unity in the Holy Trinity

May 27, 2024May 27, 2024by The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

When we as individuals neglect the sacrifice of the second person of the Trinity, the noble sacrifices of our forbears will also fade from our national memory. When the Church neglects the memory of Christ, she will also suffer disunity and disobedience in her task to fulfill the Great Commission. Without the Triune God at the center of Church or state, “things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,” to borrow from the great Irish poet, William Butler Yeats.

Nothing Can Separate Us from the Love of God

March 1, 2024March 1, 2024by The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

The Apostle Paul tactfully used the technology of his day to preach the Gospel all over the world, even as the Romans transformed the world around him. Yet he did so fearlessly because of his confidence that nothing could separate him from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord. For ministry in our modern age, digital media represents the new Roman roads.

Our Great Thanksgiving

Our circumstances are constantly changing, but our hope in the Lord Jesus Christ is constant, rooted in the promise of the God with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. This is why if we limit our gratitude to that which is shallow, such as our possessions or our own personal accomplishments, then we will quickly be uprooted when the storms of life hit us.

Eyewitnesses of Christ’s Majesty

Disquietude is not a word we hear every day. It refers to a state of anxiety or uneasiness. Understood this way, we pray for eyes of Faith to behold the Transfigured Christ, in light eternal, to transport us from the anxieties and trials of our daily lives, the darkness of our temporal world.

O Happy Fault!

March 30, 2023April 16, 2023by The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

Beloved, the victory that Christ won over sin has given us greater blessings than those which sin had taken away from us. Let Lent be a reminder to us that there is a much higher purpose that exists beyond our mortal pain, as we march on to the joy of our Easter Vigil in this life, and eternal reward in the next. O happy fault!

Queen Elizabeth II, Defender of the Faith

October 17, 2022by The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth, we lose one of the final links in the chain of history which binds us to the storied history and tradition, and indeed the greatness of Western Civilization, blessed by God and founded on Judeo-Christian principles, to which we owe nearly every comfort and luxury which we enjoy today.
