"The Trinity—Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Three persons in one nature. Distinct and yet inseparable. Co-equal and co-eternal. The Trinity seems to defeat us. Scholars and theologians throw up their hands. Such is the sublime nature of dogma, however, that both the keenest intellect and the heart of the simplest workman are invited to grapple with its depths. A fisherman can understand that love is the organizing principle of the universe. A carpenter can grasp the miracle that the Son of God—I AM WHO AM--entered human history at a particular time and place. A mother—especially a mother—can understand that reality is undergirded by relationship, community." - Heather King

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders...The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.

"Jesus teaches what it means to be born of the Spirit. It means being baptized as a sign of God's grace; it means life unlimited by the frailties of the flesh; it means that those believing in Christ are no longer condemned. Salvation comes as a gift of God's love. Nicodemus asks Jesus for clarity; what he gets is much more. Jesus invited him to believe that life in the Spirit is eternal life."
- James Kirk, When We Gather: A Book of Prayers for Worship
