Christian doctrine that God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons
POPULARITY

The Trinity is a teaching of Scripture that is impossible for human beings to totally understand. God reveals himself as three separate persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - yet is still just one God. Today, we hear how this truth is an incredible comfort for Christians as we realize that all three persons of that Trinity are constantly caring for us. Today's message is based on Romans 5:1-5.
1. The Trinity Is Relational, Not Just Doctrinal The Most Holy Trinity is not a puzzle to solve but a God to know. True Christian faith involves not just understanding the doctrine but entering into relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2. We Know the Persons of the Trinity Through Each Other To know the Father, we look to the Son. To know the Son, we receive the Holy Spirit. The persons of the Trinity reveal and glorify one another in perfect unity and love. 3. Knowing God Happens in Everyday Grace God draws near through simple, tangible means: reading Scripture, prayer, the Church, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord's Supper. Through these, we are known, loved, and drawn deeper into communion with the Triune God.
John 15:26-27 - The brevity, mystery, and church-splitting importance of the phrase "Who proceeds from the Father" make it among the most difficult in the Creed to unpack. Debates over the eternal relations within God--especially the procession of the Spirit from the Father--led in part to the split of the single Christian church into the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in 1054 AD (the Protestant Reformation came later). But before we dismiss this debate as too obscure, we should fight to see the importance that the great Christian theologians of history have attached to it. It helps us understand the key distinctions within the trinity and ensures that we view the Holy Spirit, alongside the Father and the Son, as fully God and utterly worthy of our worship.

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:58). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:35). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:910). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:1819). We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His Church prior to the seven year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the nation of Israel (Ps. 89:34; Dan. 2:3145; 19:1116; 20:16).

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Solemnity of the Blessed Trinity. This feast, which falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost, originated in the ninth century to honor the Most Holy Trinity, our Triune God.The mystery of the Holy Trinity is a synthesis of Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.It reflects our inner desire to share the life of God, as baptized in the name of the Blessed Trinity.Only in heaven, in union with Christ, will we properly understand what this fundamental dogma of our faith means.This mystery is based on the sublime truth that there is one God and in this one, eternal, incomprehensible God, there are three Divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.All three Persons participated in the work of our redemption.The Father created and called us to the faith by sending His Son to earth, for "God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son." The Son, the Redeemer, and Savior Jesus Christ became man, made us children of God, and died for us. The Holy Spirit, after Christ's ascension, became our Guide, Consoler, and Sanctifier, making us His temple.Sunday is the "Day of the Lord," the day of His resurrection, and the day of the Most Holy Trinity.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today is Trinity Sunday, celebrating the Triune God—an identity we share as those baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amid unrest and uncertainty, we turn to the Spirit of truth who delights, plays, and stays with us. As we face transitions and farewells, our Gospel reminds us the Spirit is always present. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to lean into that presence, embracing the invitation to delight and play—even now. Sermon on Proverbs 8:22-31 and John 16:12-15, delivered by the Reverend Courtnay Veazey on June 15th, 2025.
To Everything a Season: Lutheran Reflections Through the Church Year
In this episode we are looking forward to Trinity Sunday and discuss certain aspects of our Triune God.
A father doesn't typically take his lead from his son. Doing so could be disastrous! A son lacks the necessary experience and wisdom to know what's in his best interest. But in one area - which also happens to be the area that matters most! - fathers need to take their lead from the Son. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and as he works in perfect harmony with the Father and the Spirit, the Triune God equips fathers with everything they need to give their children what matters most.
Who is the Holy Spirit? What does he do? The answer to these questions matters. He is not an impersonal force, but a divine person–the third person of our one, Triune God.

Pastor Ben Wiechmann precaches on Romans 5:1-5 with the theme Divine Blessings from our Triune God.
At the top of the list of things worthy of our undivided attention: God. That does not mean that if we focus long and hard, we will understand all there is to know about God. That is impossible! For example, Scripture teaches that there is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our reason objects, “How can three be one?” So, God's very existence is a mystery, far beyond our ability to comprehend, no matter how long we ponder it. Yet, while we cannot understand everything about our God, he is still worthy of our undivided attention. For there is plenty about God's majesty that we can understand. We can understand that God provides for us as a loving Father. We can understand how much God loves us, for that was proven in the sacrifice of God the Son. We can understand that every time we gather in the name of our Triune God, the Holy Spirit grants us the greatest of blessings. These truths are worthy of our undivided attention!

June 15, 2025 Pastor Wolfram - The Triune God at Work - John 16:12-15 by Sermons of Pastor Paul Kaldahl
June 14, 2025 Today's Reading: Introit for Trinity - Psalm 16:8-11; antiphon: Liturgical TextDaily Lectionary: Numbers 32:1-6, 16-27; Luke 24:1-27Blessed be the Holy Trinity and the undivided Unity. Let us give glory to him because he has shown his mercy to us.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The doctrine of the Trinity is not revealed by God simply to confuse or imply that God isn't great at math. It's given that we may know that God draws near to save us. The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three gods, but one God. And now God is not simply a being far away in heaven. Christ is God, who came to earth to die on the cross and conquer death. The Holy Spirit is God, who is present in word and sacrament in your church for you. “I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”In the doctrine of the Trinity, the creed simply explains the introit. You know where to find God at your right hand. Place it in the font and know you're baptized, and as sure as water is wet, you have put on Christ and are saved (1 Peter 3). Because Christ is risen from the grave, your flesh dwells secure in the resurrection even now. God has promised it belongs to you as sure as you're baptized. You know the path of life. Through the grave and out again. To be at the communion of the saints is to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who have already passed through the veil and know pleasures forevermore. Doctrine is heaven. Life is earth. But God uses His truth to confront the lives we live in sin, error, discord, labor, and sorrow with hope. The Trinity shows mercy to us sinners. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Triune God, be Thou our stay; O let us perish never! Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, And grant us life forever. Keep us from the evil one; Uphold our faith most holy, And let us trust Thee solely With humble hearts and lowly. Let us put God's armor on, With all true Christians running Our heav'nly race and shunning The devil's wiles and cunning. Amen, amen! This be done; So sing we, "Alleluia!" O Lord, have mercy on us. (LSB 505:1)- Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Christine Gunawan from the Parish of Saint Joseph Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Pontianak and Yurika Gunawan from Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. THE TRIUNE GOD The title for our meditation today,the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity is: The Triune God. There was a discussionamong the faithful after their group gathered for the devotional prayer of theRosary. The focus of the discussion was about the meaning of the Holy Trinity.Everyone had an explanation and the argument to support it. When the discussionwas over, they did not find the true meaning of the Trinity. An 80-year-oldwoman who during the discussion was just silent and listening, finally saidsomething as the following: "We keep asking about the meaning of the HolyTrinity, the answer must not be obtained now, or maybe you don't need to knoweither. The important thing is we can call the Trinity by Their holy names andjust believe it." The common difficulty of believers isthat they do not know and understand well enough on how or what the Trinity islike. The name of “One God of Three Persons” is in our memory. We say His namein prayers and worship. We celebrate His solemnity and feast. We have believedin Him since His name was pronounced at the moment of Baptism and strengthenedby Him in Confirmation. But our knowledge is limited about Him. We have heardand studied here and there, still we are not satisfied. How or what the circumstances are,cooperation between the Three persons as the One God are the things that arenot fully known by any human being. There are no specific scriptures andtraditions account about them. We only know some details of each of the Three.That's because Jesus Himself says and teaches this in the gospel. He says thatit is a great mystery of our faith, that is, the unity of the Trinity whichcannot be separated. His job is to reveal the glory of God to us: God theFather, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and to unite all of us with God in acommunion of love. The communion of love in the world is the Church. Our final goal as believers is toenter the perfect unity in the eternal glory of the Holy Trinity. The missionof Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the same, because Jesus says to the disciplesand all of us that the Holy Spirit will teach us in all truth. This means thetruth about God, the great mystery of the holy Trinity. If we don't get acomplete answer now, only partially, maybe we don't even need it, it's okay.Later we will get it in time. The important thing is that we cannot lose ourfaith and loyalty to the holy Trinity that we love.Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O most Holy Trinity, may God the Father protect and fulfill us withall mercy, may the Son of God unite and save us as a flock of Your belovedpeople, and may God the Holy Spirit continue to teach and illuminate us in alltruth about the greatness of your glory. Glory to the Father and to the Son andto the Holy Spirit ... In the name ofthe Father…
This weekend we celebrate the festival of the Holy Trinity. This festival serves as the central point in the church year as we study the nature of the true God, and worship Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our hymn study this weekend is on TLH hymn 245 which is based primarily on John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This passage is sometimes called "The Gospel in a nutshell" because it so concisely summaries what the Gospel is and what it does. This hymn could be given a similar moniker. It to simply summarizes the Gospel, God's love for the sinner, and the comfort and strength that we receive from God's precious Means of Grace. This hymn describes several important doctrines in a simple, but clear way. It speaks of both universal and personal justification in the opening verse. God "loved the world" and "the lost to save" describes universal justification. But the benefits are personally received by faith: "whoever would in Him believe" (v.1). It also points to Christ as the Savior and details both His incarnation "was made flesh" and His death as the means by which salvation was accomplished (v.2). The third verse rejects any idea of double predestination because God "would not have the sinner die," and the importance of the work of the Means of Grace "in the word" and also declaring that God "grants the highest good" in Baptism (v.4). Verse five speaks of the comfort that is received from God's grace through Word and Sacrament that enables us to face sickness, oppression and even death with confidence because of Jesus' work for us. God "has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works" Paul writes to Timothy (2 Timothy 1:9). Finally, we find all three persons of the Godhead described in these verses, from God the Father, to Jesus (God the Son), to the Holy Spirit. These three persons are praised in the final verse, which is known as a "doxology." How fitting that we give our Triune God praise for electing us to salvation, redeeming us through Christ's blood, and for bringing us to faith by the Holy Spirit. Join us in our worship this weekend as we acknowledge the one true God, and as we praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the work of our salvation!

Pentecost Series: Church and Mission Mobilized by the Holy Spirit.kljq cfTdfn] kl/rfnLt d08nL / dL;g“Pentecost is the epicenter” The Holy Spirit, S. Ferguson “Easter and Pentecost belong together. Easter commissions Jesus' followers to a task; Pentecost gives the necessary equipment to accomplish it.” NT Wright. The meaning of the Pentecost must be attached to the Old Testament and the life of Jesus Christ, because that is how God revealed it and how the disciples understood it. And the Pentecost has deep rooted meaning for us in the present. But, the Pentecost is not a floating idea of “power of the Spirit” “free for all” to “grab and go”, “apply as you wish”. Nor is it an interesting history archived in the past. We must understand the Triune God, and the third person in the Trinity. We must see God's project plan aright through the Pentecost. This series will study the Bible sources, and discern what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church today, in terms of church's identity and mission vocation. Pentecost publicly marks the transition from the old to the new covenant, and signifies the commencement of the ‘now' of the day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Pentecost is the epicenter, it ripples throughout the book of Acts, everywhere we see the Holy Spirit is manifested. Ferguson says, “The purpose for which the Spirit is given is nothing less than the reproduction of the image of God, …transformation into the likeness of Christ.” (Ferguson, The Holy Spirit, 92). People throughout history and across Nepal have interpreted Pentecost to mean many things. Some think the Holy Spirit is a force to be reckoned with; power to receive and work with, be it for good things to do in the world here and now. There's so much confusion about the person, nature, and work of the Holy Spirit, therefore confusion about our vocation today. In this series we will look at the meaning from the OT and the NT to understand what the Pentecost meant for the people then and means for us now. Our focus will be however, to understand what Pentecost means for us now as a church and our mission- vocation we're called to in this time and space. Why did God give His Spirit to the church in time and context? Do we really know God the Holy Spirit? What is He here to do? How do we know and discern the Holy Spirit? What is He doing in the Church? What is the mission of the Church filled with the Holy Spirit?

We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His Church prior to the seven year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the nation of Israel (Ps. 89:34; Dan. 2:3145; 19:1116; 20:16).

The post Delighting in the Triune God… appeared first on The Anglican Connection.
On this special Pentecost Sunday, we reflect on the incredible blessings God has poured out on this church family—from humble beginnings in an apartment gathering to this beautiful new space. But today's message asks a crucial question: “Whose accomplishment is it?” Pastor shares a powerful personal story about his dad running an ultra-marathon—a reminder of the hard-earned sense of accomplishment we feel after doing something difficult. But in moments of visible success, we're warned to be on guard against the subtle temptation of pride. The truth is: every victory, every step forward, every act of faith—we owe it all to God.
After celebrating Pentecost, the Church turns its attention to the Triune God. This Sunday makes preaching, teaching, worship planning, and children's sermons particularly difficult because the danger of heresy seems to lurk everywhere. What if we didn't let that stop us from dreaming and exploring what God was like? Jonathan and Seth attempt to unpack what is dangerous about heresies related to the Trinity and whether there is anything we can learn from rigid rules defined in patriarchal councils convened by rulers intent on using the Church for their control. In other words, why does the Trinity still matter? We're glad you're with us! Seth nerds out on this episode as early church history and the patristic period (from roughly 100-451 CE) piques his interest. We hope that excitment comes through.
Acts 2:1-4 - The third section of the Nicene Creed explores the person and work of the Holy Spirit. In this message we consider Genesis 1-2, John 16, and Acts 2 to see how the Bible reveals the Holy Spirit not as an impersonal force, but as God Himself--the third person of the trinity--who brings His people to new life. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 13 of our series "The Nicene Creed: The Ancient Theology of the Triune God"]
This Sunday, we are going to continue our series called Summer of Love. One of the great encouragements in the call to love one another as God has loved us is that the source of our love is the eternal and immutable Triune God. Agape love is extremely challenging. Loving others as Christ has loved us is not something that we can merely “will” into existence. Loving those who have wronged us or neglected us can seem impossible. It is impossible if it's left to us. Here's the good news: Agape love is actually the overflow of our relationship to God. It is Christ in us who loves through us. The impulse in our hearts to love one another is something that flows out of an eternal impulse with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The early church father, Augustine famously said these words: “Wherever there is Love, there is a Trinity. A Lover (God the Father), a Beloved (God the Son) and a Fountain of Love (the Holy Spirit).” We are going to dive into the depths of Triune love this Sunday and discover how and why God's love compels us to love others just as He loved us! Our message is called How The Trinity Fuels Our Love. Our Scripture will be John 17:20-26. Looking forward to worshipping with you. Connect with us online at www.waterbrooke.church
By His very nature, God is love (1 John 4:8). But what—or whom—was He loving before He created the world?

June 3, 2025 Today's Reading: Revelation 22:1-6 (7-11) 12-20Daily Lectionary: Numbers 16:1-22; Luke 19:11-28“No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.” (Revelation 22:3)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When you think about heaven, what are the things you look forward to the most? Is it having your resurrected body? Maybe it's being reunited with your believing family and friends for all eternity. I, for one, am looking forward to that feast of rich food that God promises to Isaiah (Isaiah 25:6)! Or maybe you look forward to not having the things that will be missing. When St. John was given his vision of heaven, he saw that there was nothing “accursed” there. There won't be anybody in heaven who hates you. You won't have all those terrible thoughts or do or say wicked things because your sinful nature will be gone, along with all other temptations. There won't be any sickness or disease or danger. No sin of any kind!These are certainly all wonderful things to look forward to. But St. John reminds us today that there's one thing (or one Person, rather) in heaven that should be our main hope. “The throne of God and of the Lamb” will be there. God the Father will be there. The Holy Spirit will be there. And Jesus will be there. God isn't some kind of door prize that comes along with heaven; He is what it's all about.Besides, what could be better than basking forever in the presence of the God who made you and loved you so much that He took on your flesh, suffered and died for you, and then came to you in the Word and Sacrament to grant you saving faith? Remember the 1st Commandment? “You shall have no other gods.” Hidden in this commandment is a wonderful promise. When you have the Triune God as your Lord, you have everything you could ever need and more! You don't need any other gods. There is nothing better than being in the gracious presence of God.Thankfully, we don't have to wait until heaven to enjoy the blessings of God's presence! Even now, God comes to us through His Means Of Grace, the Word and Sacraments to bless us. He comes to us to give us everything that we need to join Him in heaven. That would include especially the forgiveness of sins won by Jesus. But God also comes to us to give us the fruits of the Spirit, like patience, strength, repentance, and every Gift that we might need as we wait for the day that God gathers us to heaven.There truly is nothing better than being in God's presence—now and forever!In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare for that bright home of love. That I may see Thee and adore with all Thy saints above. (LSB 673:6 )- Rev. Aric Fenske, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church in Bear Creek, WI.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Andrew R. Jones identifies ten lies Satan uses in attempts to dismantle God's people and His kingdom. Find encouragement in God's Word of Truth and remember the final victory we have in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Acts 1 shows the Triune God rules everything through the Father's good design, the Spirit's dynamic power, and the Son's Dominion. Ben encourages believers to ask of every situation, “Where Is God – Father, Son, & Holy Spirit – In This?” (WIGFISHSIT).Readings from this service:Acts 1: 6-11Psalm 47: 5-9Luke 24: 50-53Thanks for listening!

Summary: We continue in our Sunday Seminary series as we've been learning about the knowability of God. Here we have the tension between God's knowability and his mystery as Triune. A Definition God's "oneness" God's "threeness" A Defense Old Testament New Testament
Gen. 1:26–31 Isa. 63:7–14 Matt. 3:13–17 2 Cor. 13:11–14 In this message, we learn how the Bible testifies about the Triune God and that our experience of Him agrees with that testimony.
This weekend we come to the end of the Easter Season. We will also be celebrating the Lord's Supper in our service this weekend. As we do so, we will consider a communion hymn instead of an Easter hymn. There are several words that we associate with the Lord's Supper. We call it a Sacrament, which is a holy act, instituted by Christ, has an earthly element connected to God's Word, and imparts a blessing from God, namely forgiveness of sin, life and salvation. We also refer to it as Holy Communion based on Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. Lutherans teach the Real Presence of the Lord's Supper, in contrast to the Roman Catholic teaching of Transubstantiation or the Reformed view of Representation. This is the clear teaching of Scripture based on 1 Corinthians 11:23-27, where Paul says that we receive Christ's body and His blood, but also receive with our mouths the earthly elements of bread and wine. This hymn highlights several important truths about the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. First, it reinforces what the Sacrament is. The hymnwriter states: "As Host You spread no common food, here is Your body and Your blood" (verse 1), but also "this bread and cup my lips have pressed" (verse 2). This is the Real Presence. He also tells us that the Lord's Supper is not an action of man, but of God. We receive the blessings that God gives in this Sacrament. "Where pardon, peace, and life are spent" and "You bless, and my soul is blessed" (verse 2). This blessing from God motivates us and strengthens us for lives of service to Him. "Now let me as Your guest depart... a new life may my offering be" (verse 3). Our prayer is that God would work in us through His word and sacrament to keep us in the faith until He returns on the last day, when we "as Your heavenly guest, in anthems praise You with the blessed" (verse 4). This hymn serves to remind us about why we come to the Lord's Table. It teaches us what it is. It assures us of what God offers through it. As such it encourages us to come to the Lord's Supper and receive His blessing for our eternal blessing. May the LORD bless your worship this weekend, as well as Your reception of His precious sacrament! he Lord's Day is a term found in Revelation, which referred to Sunday. The early Christians called the first day of the week the Lord's Day, because it was on that day that the Lord had risen from the dead. He was the victor! It was now HIS day! This hymn by Julia Elliott does several creative things. First it uses the Biblical idea of light vs. darkness in each of the verses, tying this concept to three different historical events: The creation of Light, the resurrection of Jesus, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. With each verse she focuses on a different person of the Triune God. And in each verse she points out that we pray that our Triune God would continue His work of bringing light into our dark lives and world through the Gospel. Ephesians 5:13-17 serves as part of the basis for this beautiful hymn. There Paul writes: "But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Join us in our study of this hymn and its writer, and as we learn more about the Scriptural foundation and meaning of our hymns so that our use of them would be more beneficial as we gather in worship and use this hymn of praise. May the LORD bless you as He enlightens you through His word this weekend!
