[quote author=TITL link=topic=13024.msg153066#msg153066 date=1331750134] Speaking of corrupt governments, I want to encourage everyone to take a few minutes from their day to watch this: [/quote]

Awesome posts! ✞TheGodChrist✞, I LOVE St. Ephraim's prayer!

I think that we firstly need to deny our will, entreating only God's will in everything in our lives! Easier said than done. I STRONGLY recommend you read Tito Colliander's ''The Way of the Ascetics'' (A short read full of wisdom): http://cakravart…

Here is what St. John Chrysostom says, about leading others to Christ: "Nothing is more frigid than a Christian who does not care about the salvation of others. You cannot plead the excuse of poverty here; the widow who gave her two mites will stan…

Ioannes, I didn't see that link at first, but I think it clicked now. Thanks clearing it up.

Am not denying that Protestantism is wrong, but surely going to such concerts is better than going to all the new hip/hop, rap, rock, etc., music concerts?? They aren't really attending a Protestant service/meeting, so they won't really be exposed…

SuperMAN✞(BAM), I see a lot of truth in what you say, some long hymns can really throw of ones contemplation. It makes sense an upbeat would keep the attention of the people, but my problem is that how would we know what is the correct upbeat if m…
