Transfigured Church

This post is wrong!

The Bible doesn’t invent modern job titles, but it absolutely establishes the pastoral role. ‘Pastor’ is simply the English word for ‘shepherd,’ and Scripture explicitly commands church leaders to shepherd God’s people.

“Pastor” is not a modern invention. It is a translation choice.

NT Scripture typically names 👉🏿 functions👈🏿, not modern job titles.

1 Peter 5:1–2
“I exhort the elders among you… shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight…”

"When the faith is treated like a problem to solve, it multiplies opinions. When it is treated like a life to enter, it produces saints.

Sometimes the difference is not intelligence. It is posture."

“The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

Jesus didn’t come as a theory to understand—He came as a Person to encounter.

This week’s message wasn’t about grasping some abstract truth.
It was about receiving the Light that refuses to be extinguished.

✨ You don’t figure Him out like a textbook.
You open your heart—and the Light floods in.

📖 If you’ve been stuck in confusion, fatigue, or trying to reason your way to peace… this message was for you.

**Logoi, motion, and becoming what you are meant to be**

St. Maximus gives the most refined version of this vision.
His central idea is the logoi of creation.

Every created thing has a logos.

These logoi are the intentions, purposes, and inner patterns placed in creation by God.

All logoi exist within the one Logos, Christ

A thing becomes fully itself only by moving according to its logos.

For Maximus:
Stillness without purpose is death
Motion without direction is chaos
Right motion leads to union

So existence is not static. It is directional.

Human beings:
Are created incomplete.
Are meant to grow into what they already are in Christ.
Fulfill their identity through alignment, not invention.

Identity emerges through ordered movement toward purpose.
