Growing Up With the Trinity: An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman Walked Onto a Football Pitch...

We can do the same kind of work as someone, like at Christmas when my wife, Laura, and I wrap gifts together. She served as co-director for Christian Women in Partnership Russia with Entrust, an international church leadership-training mission. On top of that, she was named Miss Sarasota and will be competing in the Miss Florida USA pageant later this year. On one side is the heresy of Sabellius, who taught that God is one in nature and in person, that the Father and the Son are the same person in different manifestations at different times. This also shows how each state of water can be different yet is actually made of the same thing (H₂0).

When I was two years old, Jesus interrupted my mom’s and dad’s post-Christian, post-hippie rhythms of living. We know that God isn’t divided into three parts (the Son isn’t 1/3 God, the Spirit 1/3 God, or the Father 1/3 God) and each Person of the Trinity is fully God all on their own.But as Luther discovered, through Jesus we may know that God is a Father, and “we may look into His fatherly heart and sense how boundlessly He loves us.

There are of course many discussions we could have about what that looks like, but I am very unqualified to give advice on parenting. Now that I’m a little older and able to reflect on what I’ve done in my life and how I’ve gotten to where I am now, I’m able to realize that the praise and honor I have received for whatever I have done that is commendable, really belongs my parents, who raised me and made me who I am today. Nor did I know that many years later this profound, but simple song would surface as an opening sentence for a blog on The Trinity. God as a three-headed deity is so difficult for me to grasp, but your explanation goes a long way in illuminating the mystery of the Holy Trinity.Just as when Jesus says “whatever you ask in my name, that will I do” doesn’t mean God will grant us anything we ask, so too “obey your parents in the Lord” does not mean to do whatever your parents tell you to do.

God’s perfect knowledge and care of us includes knowing that we require more than a single image or manifestation of God’s divine presence in our lives. As if that weren’t enough to short-circuit our little brains, he explains that God who created is the Word: “All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created” (1:3).McGuire's writing style of seeing the Trinity "through a fan's eyes" helps the reader to engage in the 60s and 70s culture and brings greater focus on growing up during this period, for both the Trinity and the fan. But first, in case you’re still not fully convinced you need to know this, let’s dive into why the Trinity matters. If ‘one thing,’ then not different; if ‘we are,’ then both the Father and the Son” (Augustine, Tractates on John, 36. For Trinity, the abandonment I experienced and then passed on to her mother brought nothing but goodness into her life.

We beseech You to spread perpetual exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament in parishes around the world. And ultimately, the praise goes to God, because like grace, our parents are something that we did nothing to merit or earn. If they’re so reluctant to tackle the sacred mystery of the Holy Three-in-One, who was I to take it on unprepared?Many of these do a great job of shedding light on some important aspects of God but can also lead us astray. With God being a community of persons living in self-giving love, we see that community and loving relationships are foundational to life. So he pointed us to his two sons, who are both high schoolers and are part of the english congregation, and he said “they are my testimony to you, they are my letter of recommendation to you”. Having listened to over a dozen young adults and college students share their story, I can tell you that everyone spent a significant amount of time talking about the effect their parents had on them, be it positive or negative, intentional or accidental, and how they are still dealing with it today.
