Q: What is thy only comfort in life and death?
A: That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; who with his precious blood hath fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that, without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation; and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life and makes me sincerely willing and ready henceforth to live unto him.

“another paradoxical aspect of authenticity: to be fully authenticated as authentic, one needs to be seen by others as authentic. Authenticity wants to be observed as authentic.”
You and Your Profile
“Profilicity is demanding: Profiles need constant attention. Identity work is never really finished once and for all. Even your vacations are part of your profile-actually they are especially important.”
You and Your Profile
“Commodities have become profilic-and their profilicity is imparted on those who buy them, whether or not they want it.”
You and Your Profile
“With profilicity, identity consists not in representation of a role or a true self but in having a profile that is different from other profiles.”
You and Your Profile
“What meaning could your life possibly have outside of roles and relationships? We do not live our lives as abstract individuals with accidental relationships but become who we are through bonds with others.”
You and Your Profile
“We encounter good or bad speech acts much more frequently than good or bad speechless acts.”

“In profilicity, the illusion that identity is grounded in one’s self or in a unified ethos is no longer maintained.”

“the unity of the Church is grounded not merely in mechanical and institutional continuity, but in fidelity to the Apostolic faith. When the officers of our churches abandon that faith which has been handed down to us, the obligation of the faithful is not blind submission or institutional loyalty, but acting to the end of preserving the faith Christ and His Apostles established.”
There has never been a time where I havenāt said, āItās hammer time.ā to myself.
So thankful for NashseverWx! Keeps me informed and lets me know when to take my family to the closet. Thanks be to God, it was a few minutes and then back to bed. āļø šŖļø
“Hunter worries about our fundamental loss of mutual respect for other humans, watching people consumed with rage and hatred toward others. He warns us not to give up on hearing dissenting arguments because we see only ārepugnant cultural othersā beyond reach and see engagement as a betrayal to our side.”
“Anglicans, unlike Roman Catholics, are not identified by communion with a particular see, such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, but are identified by their retention of catholic order and evangelical faith in the ancient and primitive manner of the historic church.”
I moved up to 23.75 pounds today. 32 consistent weeks of lifting. Over a year of walking. This summer I finally reach my goals. Slow and steady isnāt flashy, but it works.
“Humility restrains the impulse to take our opinions too seriously simply because we have strong feelings and a platform. It teaches us to listen longer, examine ourselves critically, and occasionally practice staying in our laneāsomething almost entirely foreign to the digital life.”

“Do we dare to say we are wiser, more catholic, and more orthodox than the Great Doctor of the undivided Church, St. John Chrysostom, when it comes to who is eligible to the episcopacy and presbyterate?”
“the Church has handed down to us not only a canon of Scripture, but a rule of interpretation.”
“We cannot boast about following the plain meaning of Scriptures in condemning same-sex blessings, while turning a blind eye as members of our own fellowship lay hands on what Scripture and the ancient Fathers do not endorse. There needs to be repentance, lest we sow the seeds of our own destruction.”
If Global Anglicans affirm the 1662 (including the Ordinal) as the bounds of our tradition, wouldnāt that mean bishops that ordain women to the priesthood (and the diaconate for that matter) would need to be under discipline?
“true communion among churches must be grounded in shared doctrine rather than merely shared institutional affiliation or historical connection.”

“What I am to make my child I must first be myself.”
“But if God be our chiefest joy, the desire after His service and love our highest aim, He Himself will sanctify our Sabbaths, our hearts, our homes, our children, by His Holy Presence. And the Sabbaths will be but a part of a life holy to the Lord.”
