may God give u His peace which is beyond understanding. have u talked to yr spiritual father?

may God guide u and show u His love.

firstly, let me say this is a great question! you are thinking of things from a eternal perspective, which is the way we should do. the most important thing is to submit yourself to God through a relationship with Jesus Christ and to follow God's wi…

u r talking about the 'evil eye', if someone envies u then they 'send bad luck'. this believe is not only untrue, it is haram. it is the belief of the pagans, and not allowed in Christianity. our God is stronger than any evil spirit and so if we st…

she just means that it sounds cool and all british people speak with a deliberately strange accent. titL, i can promise u father peter's awesome british accent is 100% natural! when he says 'bingo' it sounds like a smart person preaching. when brit…

keep praying. also see my p.m.

i think it's for archdeacons only. i may be wrong...

u r not alone in this. the summer term of my first year at university, i sat down one day and wept for ages from loneliness. but God sent me friends and used the experience to bring me closer to Him. now i don't regret it at all. so it's ok sometime…

remember no eagle learns to fly until it leaves the nest. read isaiah 40. 27 - 31; God Himself will give you strength, just keep on studying the Bible, set yr alarm to pray every morning, remember to be kind to those you meet and take care of the po…

that was really lovely, thanks. :)

it was cool. and they weren't taking money (read the earlier posts).

thanks for making me feel sick thinking of salami! makes the last 4 fasting days go more easily! ;)
-
wow, this is what i have been waiting for! :) i'm rarely at home so ordering stuff and having it delivered is out of the question ;)
-
in case anyone was thinking of taking khas' entry too seriously, u need to ask yr priest before doing any radical fasting like not eating for a week!
-
qawe, interesting points. but i don't think that britain is going to have such a terrible end. what i do think is that all countries will suffer in the times to come and it will be clearer who truly believes and who goes to church just for show. in …

the problem with watching Christian tv that is not our channels (Coptic TV, youth CTV and aghapy) is that in the other churches, you will find part of the truth but not all of it. so you will hear something correct that you can easily identify as Ch…

i found last week quite difficult. but today i was thinking 'only 1 week to go!' and finding it easier. until i went shopping and saw loads of fitari stuff at reduced prices which i had to ignore! so it is hard sometimes, and when we think of food, …

please give your sources.

hey sister! welcome and i look forward to yr posts :)

when we sing of the israelites freedom, we remember it is a symbol of our own freedom from sin that comes with God's great plan of salvation. when we sing of pharoah's chariots being covered by the water, we remember the terrible end that awaits the…

try CCTV or aghapy, there is a lot of junk on GodTV. i used to get it for free after a storm moved our satellite (i rarely watched satellite tv before that, there was just one on the house we were renting and occasionally we switched on Zee TV when …

hi, long time no 'see' buddy, good u r back :)

yes, we commemorate him on kiakh 10th: http://www.copticchurch.net/synaxarium/4_10.html#2 a good way to learn about the saints is to go to this lovely website every day, click on 'our faith', go down to 'daily readings' and read the Bible readings …

titL, i get what you're saying. u r a bit like how i was when i was younger. i think that Christmas is a good time to harvest the good will of people who ordinarily can't be bothered about the poor and show them that it's a good thing to do, so that…

i used to swear. :o not really badly, but badly enough. so i decided to 'fast' from swearing over lent. the first year i lasted half a day. the second year i managed more than a week. then gradually it got better so i don't do it often these days.…

this is true, marmar, but i understand why people are upset to see those who are not Christians seeming to take over Christmas and fill it with their own materialistic message. for them 'Christmas' means eating and drinking till they land in hospita…

may God give u and yr family peace at this difficult time. we pray for the recovery of yr daughter and for God's mercy and love to fill your hearts.

the devil does lots of horrid stuff. remember the saints in the desert used to have a hard time from the demons so we could as well. the response is not to check to see who is trying to do magic on us and get them to stop, but to live a holy life, c…

while it would be lovely to have you as my only facebook 'friend', father peter, i really don't have the time to sift through all the 'friend' requests from random people i've worked with (moving house most years and working in large organisations m…

yes it is wrong. we should not follow the temptation to 'force' God to reveal the future to us. when we are ready to know it, He tells us in His own way. the Bible is clearly against fortune telling as those who 'tell the future' outside of God's pe…
