About this deal

At my church, we have our annual round of deacon nominations and as part of this process, the deacon nominee goes to both the english and chinese service to share their testimony.

Since God eternally exists as a community, he made humanity to exist in a likewise fashion with the community of the family at the centre and marriage as the doorway. The Bible describes the Son as the “only-begotten” Son as the one who has life in himself by receiving life from the Father. God’s living image, the Son, looks back at the Father (we speak in human terms) and sees the infinite lovableness of the Source from which He springs. I was tempted to use one of those explanations I had heard in church growing up: God is like an egg, God is like the three forms of water, God is like a flower… but I knew that all those fell flat because, in one way or another, they all promoted a trinitarian heresy.When I reminisce about watching Manchester United in the 1960s, I'm always standing on a noisy, swaying Stretford End terrace on a cold winter afternoon. Many of these do a great job of shedding light on some important aspects of God but can also lead us astray. He spent over 5 years being a full-time caretaker for his parents, while raising kids and while his wife supported the family financially. There are signs of these approaches in this text, especially in the chapters that deal with Charlton, Best and Law, but that is perfectly understandable and acceptable in a work in which McGuire uses the biographies as a means of transmitting to the reader the significance of their lives and playing careers to the young man immersed in supporting Manchester United as such an important adjunct to the world that surrounded him. While the Old Testament sometimes indicate a father-children relationship between God and the Israelites (Psalm 103:13; Isaiah 63:16-17; 64:8-9), Jesus taught his fatherhood in a unique way.

I kept ending up with two interconnected rings, the third falling away, severed from the original paper. So this is not saying for children to do whatever their parents tell them to, just as Ephesians 5 is not saying that wives should do whatever their husbands tell them and this passage shouldn’t be used to bludgeon children into obedience. After doing a Trinity lesson sent by our youth Pastor this week, she thought herself very clever to notice that 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 ….This unity and diversity within the triune God is a model for the unity and diversity we experience in everyday life, especially in the Church and in marriage (Grudem, Christian Beliefs, 41).

God approaches us in love as the Father and Creator of all, the Son who lived among us and laid down His life for us, and the Holy Spirit, the essence of God’s grace that binds us all together and binds us to Him. I have been teaching children’s church for 24 years, and the concept of the Trinity has been the most challenging lesson I have tried to teach. Now some of you might be thinking, “well that’s easy for you to say Charles, you have good parents”.

We need to be explicitly clear that the family and the role of parents is not to produce academic superstars nor is it to guarantee future earnings for their children.

John sets his terms very clearly from his opening sentence: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). McGuire discusses how the Manchester football scene blended with music and fashion and a fast-changing era in the city.And I have had various authors to help examine both the contours of the doctrine, and the scriptural basis. This prologue opens wide the way for John’s story to develop, and along that way he keeps cluing us in to who Jesus actually is, and who God the Trinity actually is.
