Things will settle out in this crisis and competing authorities will finally converge on a consensus. But our problem with the hostile wilderness will remain.

Icons and Idols: Was God Invisible Before the Incarnation?

March 10, 2020March 10, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
The argument against iconography breaks down because those who reject icons do not understand what idolatrous images were actually used for. They were not merely religious art. They are a kind of religious technology designed to trap and control a god.

The Revelation of Forgiveness

March 5, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
When the gospel began to be preached, forgiveness from God was a revelation, something new that was outside of anyone’s expectation of how a god should operate.

February 16, 2020February 16, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
Sexual immorality is a kind of evil that introduces corruption into a person and his community in a way that is deep and damaging like almost nothing else is.

The Idolatry of the Pharisee

February 11, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
If we read the parable of the Publican and Pharisee merely as a morality tale about being humble rather than prideful, we miss how it is placed in the larger narrative of the Scripture and all the revelation of God.

The First-Born

February 11, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
As co-heirs with Christ, today we are offered in His holy temple along with Him. Today we share in His place as the first-born, both receiving and distributing the inheritance of God to all our siblings. And today we do so as a royal priesthood, both priests and kings, bringing God’s presence even to the nations.

Don’t Feed Yourself to the Water Dragons

January 8, 2020 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
Let’s not feed ourselves to the water dragons. Let’s enter with Jesus into the waters to crush the heads of the dragons who lurk there.

“. . . the spirit of wickedness in high places is now so powerful and many-headed in its incarnations that there seems nothing more to do than personally to refuse to worship any of the hydras‘ heads.” —J. R. R. Tolkien
