All Saints Anglican Church of Fountain Valley

All Saints Anglican Church of Fountain Valley All Saints' Anglican Church is a parish in the Anglican Church in America. The Anglican Church in America is a traditional, historic church.

We are Biblical and Sacramental; that is, centered in prayer and worship. We affirm that the Holy Bible contains all things necessary for salvation. We believe that the sacraments represent outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace. We desire, as our Baptismal commitment says, to follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that our present bishops have their authority deleg

ated to them by the Laying on of Hands reaching back to the Apostles. We practice regular participation in Holy Communion. Jesus at the Last Supper instituted this Sacrament when He broke bread and drank wine with His disciples, exhorting them to do the same in remembrance of Him. We use the ancient offices found in The Book of Common Prayer. The beautiful language of our prayer book draws us closer to God. The continual use of the matchless prayers contained within The Book of Common Prayer offers us a window onto faith, holding us together as a community that meets in Jesus' name. We believe firmly that, in today's complex and often troubled world, God's love and protection are essential to a healthy physical, moral and spiritual life. It is our lasting commitment to protect the ancient treasures and teachings of the church, recognizing that these treasures provide the only true shelter for our passage through this temporal life. They are indeed gifts from God; it is our task to care for them, to preserve them and to pass them on to other faithful Christians. Every Christian stands on the shoulders of all who have gone before. As the Scripture says, “…built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone”.

Saint Paul says that we must have the same mind that Jesus had: we too must be willing to give up not just anything, but our own selves; we too must be willing to become obedient to God; we too must be willing even to die if necessary. Yet God is so great in His mercy and goodness that even what may seem like an overwhelming sacrifice is actually a blessing for us – both the giving up of self, obedience to God’s will, and even death.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,” writes Saint Paul in the Epistle of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and continues with the proclamation of how Christ humbled Himself, gave up everything that rightfully belonged to Him as the Son of God, and became obedient to the point of death on the cross in order to redeem us by giving Himself for us.

Jesus has come to put His hand on us – to touch us, to become one with us, to embrace us through His incarnation, and to redeem us by sacrificing Himself for us. There is nothing else we need more than this – and there is no other way to be saved and inherit eternal life than through Jesus touching us with His saving grace.

What is law? One possible definition is this: “Law refers to a system of rules that regulate the conduct of a community and is often enforced by a controlling authority through penalties.” Law tells us what we are allowed to do and what we are not allowed to do – like in the Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Honour thy father and thy mother.”

Whenever we begin judging other people, we get on a slippery slope. Like when we discuss who is the real hypocrite, the one in the back pew or the one in the front row. Or when we think, while listening to today’s Gospel, that thank God we are not like the Pharisee in the parable.

Saint Paul was not inclusive in modern terms. On the contrary, he was extremely exclusive. Thus, he says at the beginning of the Epistle to the Galatians: “As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Similarly, in today’s Epistle to the Corinthians, he says: “I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.”

Saint Bartholomew was martyred on the eastern border of what is now Turkey, in a city called Albanopolis, which was part of Greater Armenia at the time. At that time, Armenians were still pagans – but already two hundred years later, in 301, Armenia became the first country in the world to officially adopt Christianity, and has faithfully adhered to it ever since. This was true even during the atheistic Soviet regime – I have heard that the leaders of the Armenian Communist Party personally made sure that public transport worked in such a way that all people could go to church on Sundays.

Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. His full name is Nathanael Bartholomew – Nathanael, the son of Tolmai. The name Nathanael means "gift of God". How Jesus called him to be one of his disciples is told in the first chapter of the Gospel of Saint John:

“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see."

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is undoubtedly one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. It is so well-known that it is often forgotten that there are more characters in it than just the younger brother known as the Prodigal Son. There is the older brother, and of course there is the father. But there are also – in the background, but still very much present – those with whom the younger son squandered his share of his father’s inheritance – the harlots, as the older brother calls them. And somewhere in there is the foreigner who hired the prodigal son to tend his pigs.

Lust after evil things… fornication… murmuring… Sounds like the most common description of everyday life in the so-called post-Christian world. The first thing to clarify here is that there is no post-Christian world. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and this means that everything His, He has all authority in heaven and on earth.

False prophets come in sheep’s clothing. They look like sheep – but inside they are ravenous wolves. They are like trees that look beautiful on the outside – but their fruit shows that they are rotten on the inside.

False prophets usually have no difficulty in deceiving people. That is why there is never a shortage of false prophets, past, present, or future. In the past, they had to wear rough robes, eat black bread and drink plain water, and wander around homeless. Today, they dress in designer suits, live in luxurious mansions, and travel on private jets. But their fruit is still the same: they mislead people, tempting them to abandon the narrow path that leads to life and walk with them on the broad way that ends in hellfire.

Once, after a funeral, an old, bearded, gruff-voiced fisherman said to me: “Those funerals with a priest are really beautiful!” I then asked him what the beautiful part was that he liked so much. He replied: “Well, when you said, directly and without any twists: “The wages of sin is death!” Yeah, that’s right, I know it is!”

That made me smile – because at first glance it’s quite difficult to find anything beautiful in those words. But when you think about it a little – why not? Because the whole verse sounds like this: “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
