good post, 2corinthians5:7. sometimes giving up things that 'look good' before others is the real sacrifice in order to do good deeds for our small child or old neighbour that no-one else sees.

oh dear, so u will have to have serious chat with them. agree some extended boundaries, like agreeing to meetings in the church. maybe there are some youth leaders or a priest who could speak to your dad? ask them frankly what they are worried abou…

good point. i love that story, you can find it here: it was a great sermon, i want to be sure everyone listened. the story about the galabeya (garment) is at the end, it's great. we should always put our good words into practice. :)

thanks to God. keep reading the Bible and praying so you are strong to fight in the spiritual struggle.

i have written his 15 points below: he said (when people looked a bit shocked he had so many points) that he would have had more points, but he thought they could only remember 15 ;) 15 points to help us to forgive: 1. Train yourself to endure. 2…

i will pray for your friend. give her a small Christian booklet to read, sometimes it's easier for people to read stuff than to talk to people when they are in an abusive situation. may God bring His true peace to all those who suffer abuse at home…

when i read this title, i thought 'that's great, i would like to live in egypt too'. but i think you are leaving for the wrong reasons. i have a friend who changed countries because she was unhappy with herself and also didn't want to be single anym…

the EO churches have had their own problems lately batween the different churches, i think they have been a bit busy. while you wait, you can pray for the bishops (maybe find one EO and one OO bishop to pray for by name in your area) and the priest…

yes, all days are important. but as humans we have emotions and varying amounts of energy. we can't celebrate continuously, nor can we work continuously. we need time to rest, to repent, to be excited, to cry. all these things have their place. so a…

it is true that a clever person is one finds God. but no-one except God can say who goes to hell. if someone knows a little about God and worships Him as well as he can, and is kind and helps the poor and is humble and patient, that person is closer…

Jesus taught in the temple at age 12 with God's authority, not what could be learnt from books. that is why everyone was impressed. john 13:3 shows that Jesus was fully aware He was God, and there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that at one time …

what exactly does nieftak mean? then again, what does eminence mean? in anatomy, it's a bony bit that sticks out, and is a bit knobbly, like an old, thin man's knee. i sometimes email a metropolitan (a wonderful, hardworking, kind person) and i do s…

Godlovesme, i think irish pilgrim is still feeling a lot of pain from his divorce, that's why he came across so angry. it is true that wives should submit to their husbands. however, no one should leave the church over this, especially as no-one is …
