Celtic Christianity So So Cool!

Celtic Christianity so so cool!

"They are unusual people: dedicated, and full of the Holy Spirit. They are also sometimes anti-social, quirky, and plain obstinate. They love remote islands, where they can contemplate the Creator through the creation - sun, moon and stars, winds and frost, mountains and seas and forest, birds and fish and great seals. They bless freely, and they curse freely. They lived plainly, and prayed much."

-Prof. Kathleen Jones on the Celtic Saints

Definitely my favourite flavour of christianity.

I think it's a lot easier for modern people to imagine that Jesus is always with us..

Because so many things are always with us now. Pretty much anywhere in the world, you still have the same internet, you can still log into tumblr 'unto the ends of the earth'.

So in the same way, we can access God's love and companionship regardless of our physical location

The following is inscribed on the doors of oldest lab in the world, in Cambridge University:

"Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them."

Psalm 111:2

Both the cathedral and the lab are places to ponder, and worship

labs that are also churches. to me

"Sin is deadly, its monstrous. You need to fear it. You need to run from it."

-Paul Washer

The idea of telling people 'this is sin stop it!' is so alien in our world.

But it is so needed.

It is not loving to let people continue in sin that destroys them! God loves you! He does not forbid you from doing anything that would help you!

Satan comes to kill steal and destroy. Sin is giving in to him. It is not out of judgement or hatred that I tell you to flee from sin, it is out of great love and compassion!
