Four Hundred Texts on Love 9
31. Just as the thought of fire does not warm the body, so faith without love does not actualize the light of spiritual knowledge in the soul. Although this text is really just an expanded thought from the Epistle of James, I’m struck by the physicality of the text. Faith alone, which James calls the [...]

He then builds on that to show how the foundation of Christian faith, [...]

For the Life of the World 18
Next I reflect on section 3 of the fourth chapter of For the Life of the World. Here is the link to Deacon Michael Hyatt’s first podcast on chapter four. For the Life of the World: Part Nine Baptism proper begins with the blessing of the water. To understand, however, the meaning of water here, [...]
