Thank you both in the name of God. I will be strong trusting God's mercy.
Psalm 27
King James Version (KJV)
9 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
No credit should be given to neither you or the guy at Church. God is the source of every good wisdom or
knowledge. Only God deserves the true Credit.
What you have got free should be given freely is the word of God. Receiving thanks or any kind of…
Dear Friends,
This is an Orthodox Christian Forum. Please respect the fact that it is meant to edify people but not used as a high school classes with lots of jokes and arguments. Most here come to learn from each other. Let us have peace and lo…
I think you are the only person who starts his sentence with " I kinda..." when in serious trouble. Start from simple things like writing full words and sentences. It is about Rules. Grammars and spellings have their own rules just as God has His. …

If you have repented then destroy everything to do with these errors which you own, and then confess to your spiritual father.

1. The devil is making you believe that you cannot escape this sin. Every time you do it the devil steals your spiritual strength and make you feel you are helpless.
2. Remember God loves us even when we are sinners. We love Him because He loved us…
This is the temptation of the devil. Be closer to God then only you can love life. Life is designed by God. You love life only if you would see it in the eyes that God is going to give you.
Let me rephrase my Questions. I am asking if it is possible to be called for monasticism while you are still married to your spouse and still having small kids?
Prostrations (Metanias) is not only for Lenten days. They must be part of daily christian chores just like prayers. Actually when accompanied by fasting it is a killer for most wars of the devil. You can pray "Our Father in Heaven" in between or yo…
If you are humble you will pray. Your prayer bears fruits. How can you forget what God has done for you through prayers? There are million people who work hard more than you do without your success. You can have knowledge but God gives you wisdom…
Unworthy1, Thank you so much for sharing what God has done for you. Such stories edify weak people, glorify God. This was the intention of the thread. I want to hear the REWARD of God. God is always Faithful to those who Trust Him.
It is ok dzheremi, it looks like we need a clear meaning of tithe and our definite responsibility. I just think that the Lord put is so clearly that we need to give 10% back to Him otherwise we are thieves. But still money is refered as "lord" in th…

Second, it is the spirit behind your deeds that matter most not the mere action. I wanted to share what God has done for me not what I have done for Him. I thought many ppl would neglect giving tithe …
God is not fair. Is it fair that after all the sins we commit all our lives that we r alive today? Is it fair we are as white as a snow just by confessing our sins? is it fair that u trouble God with college applications when there r ur million…
God answers prayers, right? Why can't we ask Him instead of relying on our limited minds? There must me one holy man left on earth to ask this question and receive the answer back.
That is my hope for the answer. Every other idea is just a co…
