Sins are not atoned or PAID for, they are forgiven. The blood of Christ doesn't change God's mind it changes ours. Rodeen Williams: "We do not invoke his presence, He captures our awareness"

Sacraments are more than symbols; they are acts in which God is present and active. A sacrament is more than a symbolic ritual; it is God acting through the sign to accomplish what it signifies. In sacramental Christianity, we believe that God is not only present in these moments, but He is working to do what these symbols represent.
-
We want to explore the idea of sacraments—what they are, how they work, and what they reveal about the presence of God in our lives. Sacraments are more than symbols; they are acts in which God is present and active. As we explore baptism, communion, and the broader sacramental reality, we will see how these practices invite us into a deeper encounter with God.

Magical thinking in prayer seeks to control outcomes, focusing on manipulation rather than submission. Intercession isn't convincing God, it's freeing ourselves to participate in God's providence and trust that He will do what's loving and redemptive.
-
True prayer is a deep surrender to God, beyond the expectation of outcomes. It is not about controlling events but allowing God to be God in us.
