GOD DON'T NEED YOUR PRAYERS
BUT YOU NEED GOD TO LISTEN TO YOU

Huh?
I'm struggling with the same issue. Having that discipline and consistency in your prayer life can be very difficult. We have to understand that you shouldn't just pray when you want to, but it has to be a routine.
1) Balance those spiritual highs …

No, that is ridiculous. Being homosexual is a sin, why would God create someone with sin and then condemn him/her? In the Gospel Christ says, "A kingdom divided agains…

Ofcourse they do, if they didn't they would have afros by now. Speacking about that, does anyone know if Anba David cuts off his beard. It's so long

Very nice. I like how these are a little more educational because I can actually hear each hazza. I find a little easier to learn. Awesome job, keep them coming!
I don't think just because we call Abouna father we should directly call his wife mother. The wife doesn't really have much difference than any other women except the fact that she's his wife.

What's the point in prayer if you end up worrying? How do you know that this is not God's Wil…
Yes he is, but saying "you can't do anything" to a person who asks a question about bringing someone back to God sounds a little rough. If I asked that question, that's not the response I would want to here.
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist wi…

There were no elections. It was a baked affair.

It really makes me sick how gullible/desperate Egyptians are. The man 'promises' some stuff, and everyone votes for him. That's if the elections were even legitimate.

When the results or outcomes of your prayers do not turn out as you wanted, why be upset for??? Maybe this is God's will???? [/quote]
Zoxsasi,
I agree that we should all p…
What I like to do is before I commit the act, I think of all the regret that I feel after it's done. The sense of regret will overcome the temptation.
Pray for me.

"You" can not do anything! Only our Lord can return the lost sheep.

They usually get a coptic woman, who never set foot in an Orthodox church before, to have a two-in-one package.

That makes no sense. What do we know about any of the candidates other than the bishops?
If anything, we should pray that it's a monk who we have never heard of.

I just don't understand how any good can come from this? If you start with corruption and fraud, what can you possibly end up with? (I am very pessimistic)
