I would say kissing can lead to further temptations. It can arouse certain passions in us and put us in more comprimising situations. Teens are more vulnerable to this since hormones run rampant and certain physical reactions become more problemsome…

Fr. Peter, thank you for your wisdom! I would say intense and consistent prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21), regular contact with your Confessor Father and constant participation of Sacraments. Building positive habits and everything else Abouna Pet…

I saw Bubba Kirillos movie on Tasbeha and loved it! It inspires me to strive for Christ and stay strong in praying and fasting. How old are these coptic movies and are they all made in Egypt? Where can I order some?

Every Saint can be asked but St. Jude Thaddeus has been known to be the Patron of lost Causes and the impossible and yes, he's an Orthodox Saint ;D.

There's a book about the "7 Seven Deadly Sins" with their corresponding "7 Holy Virtues" titled, "Defeating Sin: Overcoming Our Passions and Changing Forever", by Father Joseph Huneycutt. It's published by Regina Orthodox Press, INC. This past Janua…

Check out what St. John of Damascus says about Islam and Mohammed:http://www.bombaxo.com/blog/?p=210 . St. John used to live outside the Byzantine Empire and within the Islamic one during the 8th century. Enjoy!

I pray for Fr. Peter's ministry that it may spread the Gospel throughout a Jesus-starved UK. May the Lord guide many who are confused about God in a country that's more hostile to Christ than to Mohammed! Congrats and God grant you many years+++!

QT, He wasn't a Palestinian Arab but a Palestinian Jew! Jew is a religious and cultural identity. Palestian by birth. Since Israel is in Palestine He was also Israeli :o!

[glow=red,2,300]In the Name of the Father+ and of the Son+ and of the Holy Spirit+, the One True God. Amen.[/glow] This is one of the most beautiful things in Christ we have and that is the freedom to question. Doubt is not a bad thing if it leads…

Monks are called to be celibate and live an intense life of prayer and repentance. Unlike the Roman Catholic Church Orthodoxy recognizes the Holy Spirit bestows the gift of celibacy on some and the gift of marriage on others. Neither is exclusively …

This is a very beautiful video. Who is the lovely lady singing?

Serb, thank you so much for this video. It reminds of St. Saba of the Wolves.

There are so many muslims in the Uk that there's a fear it might become a muslim country in a few decades! This is because the spiritual lives of so many British are in crisis. Look at what's been happening in the Anglican Church with gay bishops an…

An excellent question! The Orthodox Study Bible (page 1659, 6:4-9 commentary) says this: "This refers to those have apostatized, that is, those who, after being baptized, have rejected Christ and His saving power. Historically, these verses have b…

What was done to her was inhumane and totally uncalled for. The guy was obsessive and living in an islamic culture that condones honor killing and blinding innocent people made this possible. Secularly, modern society would say blind him too, eye f…

The Orthodox Study Bible says in its commentary (Page 1369) of Luke 3:23-28: "The genealogy follows Jospeh's ancestry, even though Jesus was only supposed to be the son of Joseph but was in fact humanly descended from Mary only. This is explained…

I must re-correct my statement. Since many of us are still very young witchcraft books can be spiritually harmful to many. First, let Christ be the foundation of your life. Then, live a life of repentance and joy in Christ. Mature in Christ. I used …
