Astronomy and God’s Greatness
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orionʼs belt? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up Godʼs dominion over the earth? -Job 38:31-33
When we put these words next to what we know about the universe, we can only sit back in awe and wonder at the vastness of creation and the God who made it all. And it makes the fact that he came and lived among us even more incredible. Watch this short explanation about what we know of the universe and let the greatness of God overwhelm your imagination.

Yet Jesus reveals that God somehow exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.…
A Brief Theology of the Trinity
“The economic Trinity is the immanent Trinity, and the immanent Trinity is the economic Trinity.” This is the maxim introduced by the Catholic theologian Karl Rahner that should shape our discussion of the Trinity.
