Trinity Sunday*
Meditation before Worship – “Until our consciences are bound by Scripture so that
our actions are the product of conviction, we will be the victims of
fluctuating fancies and susceptible to the “security” that is offered in
conformity to a long list of human taboos. Convinced, grace-filled, spirit-led
obedience to God’s Law really is the pathway to freedom. Remember, the law is
not the dynamic of our sanctification, God’s love for us is not on the basis of
duty, but neither does His love for us free us from duty.”

*The
celebration of Trinity Sunday by
much of Christendom dates from the consecration of Thomas Becket as Archbishop
of Canterbury in 1162. Within Protestantism Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists
mark the day. This Sunday begins the longest period in the church year, which
continues until Advent.
