As far as the apostles were concerned, they were as weak as any other men. They were uneducated, very ordinary men. Yet they are given this privileged position: they will deliver the Word of God through the Son to the world. From God the Father, through the Son, through the Spirit, and through the apostles to the world. In this sense, the apostles are 'foundational' to the church... Theological and ethical instruction from the apostles is universally binding. Indeed, it is 'from God to us.'

NOTES : A lovely dessert for late summer, when the first windfalls
are on the ground and before the lemon balm starts to die back for
the winter months. The nutty texture of the stuffing, and its lemony,
herby taste, make delicious food for autumn.

A Message from our Provider:

“The great mystery is not unanswered prayer; it’s unfinished prayer”

If one really wants to a see a theology for the church in action, one might walk into an old church graveyard at night. Walk about and see the headstones weathered and ground down by the elements. Contemplate the fact that beneath your feet are men and women who once had youthful skin and quick steps and hectic calendars but who are now piles of forgotten bones. Think about the fact that the scattered teeth in the earth below you once sang hymns of hope -maybe 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder I’ll Be There' or 'When We All Get to Heaven.' They are silent now. But while you are there, think about what every generation of Christians has held against the threat of sword and guillotine and chemical weaponry. This stillness will one day be interrupted by a shout from the eastern sky, a joyful call with a distinctly northern Galilean accent. And that’s when life really gets interesting.
