we should feel sorry for the arrogant person, as his treasure in heaven is very, very small. we spend just a few years on earth, compared to eternity, so should measure the things we gain on earth as nothing compared to the spiritual reward of being…

he/she is depressed and is reacting to this by advertising (spamming) our website. may God guide him/her.

anastasia1, if u are 'nearing 30' then the guys in my church are older than u. there should be others in your country too. it's certainly fine to go to other Bible studies. if u don't meet interesting people, then the improvement in your spiritual …

on the sound tracks of saint movies. that's where i usually hear them. or try a monastery or church bookshop. :)

the short answer is to be a nice Christian woman! 8) does your church have Bible studies? today in our church we had more than 10 people at the english Bible study and they were about half men. if u meet more people, and do great things together li…

sounds great! i am already doing a course right now, and the london school of orthodox studies is next on my list of things to do, but if i finish that, yours is next! may God bless your course. :)

i guess not...

wow, u summarised it in so few lines! awesome :)

i did not find anything on your page. did you delete it? may God bless u this week.

i agree 100% with the last 2 posts. if u can change yourself with amazing feats of physical endurance, it will lead to pride. if not, it will lead to depression. the solution is to take advice from your confession father and not fast unless it is …

may God give them peace and show them His love.

i posted something in the other thread. basically God is stronger than you and stronger than the evil one who wants to pull you down. start moving up one step at a time, making the most of each prayer and each good deed to focus on your creator who …

i think what you should say, rather than 'i ruined my life' is 'i committed a much bigger sin than i thought i would and it seriously dented my pride and took away my hope'. but (i think) you didn't do mass murder (like saint moses the strong) or p…

yes, my friends got married on the apostles' feast. i suppose you should not choose Christmas and Pascha/Easter as people may be a bit busy!

you will find useful info here: http://orthodoxsermons.org/sermons?church=All&category=2978&speaker=All :)

i think it's just the male version of maria, like we have female versions of male saint names (georgina for example).

great answer mnc_hnn! :)

ok, we look forward to it!

very good posts here. please also keep taking the meds. if your brain feels like it has slowed down, it is not a bad thing because now it is like a car doing 200mph on the freeway. it is going too fast. when you slow down from 200mph to 70mph it fee…

could you translate the question into english? i don't read greek! ;)

it's good to love the beauty of the world, u are right. and the tasbeha (midnight praises) is a good way to learn about God's love for His world. :)

the depths of God's love. for more, see the new year's or Christmas sermons of pope tawadros. if you can't find them, maybe someone can find the link. i think there is one on this site somewhere (may have been me!) oh, and also i love our pope and …

i don't know, but CTV (coptic tv) has 'children's' programs that are subtitled and are very good for adults, like discussion classes and classes for learning hymns and interviews which are subtitled in english. it is really great! if i had a satelli…

the more you love God, the more you love all the people in the world, and take care of all the creation. when the Bible says 'do not love the world' (in 1 john), it is talking about the 'desires of the world', like lust, addiction, greed, desire for…

wow, sorry to hear that. college is not always so awful, but sometimes we have harsh things in life that are hard to go through. it is true to say that God takes care of us, though. our job is to ask for help when we are struggling, and this way we …

wow, rita, u have a quote from father arseny! i just read a book which was lots of quotes of his and his life story, a truly amazing (departed) priest monk in russia. if u follow his advice, u will do well. and yes, it's not good to run away. finis…

i liked it too, but spent so much time learning it, i forgot to thank you! sorry. and Happy Christmas! :D

i agree with orthodoxy on this one. i was born in uk of british parents (not that it shows!) and i much prefer the coptic way of keeping distance between men and women. ok. i'm not so sure about sitting separately in liturgy, but the thing about wom…
