i think these are wise words. i didn't explain myself well in my post (sorry, writing while tired!) what i meant was you don't hear of single people that they lived alone, eg Jesus was always travelling and His disciples stayed with him, also martha…

i think a good alternative is living with other single people, Christians if possible and ideally same sex. i had to leave home to study and i had 2 years in student rooms and 2 years living very happily with other single people. that gave me a chan…

i think we should pray for our brothers who are under pressure caught up in the very complicated politics that is israel and palastine. the most famous disputes in al quds (jerusalem) are now historical (eg that quote from 2008) and it seems to me t…

for the non-africans/ arabs among us, this is a green vegetable that looks a bit like spinach, but tastes loads better, esp. when made by tasoni from my old church or my friend sophia, both of whom do awesome things in the kitchen. i think their sec…

dear cheeky64, you relative, like all of us has the freedom to choose what to believe, and, i pray, will later realise his/her mistake in drifting away from God and His church. however i wish people wouldn't use this freedom to tell young people stu…

i didn't have egyptian parents so i got myself some (or, rather they found me coming to church alone, so added me to their grown-up children). they let their children do what they wanted in life, they were really cool. they are a good example to oth…

i agree, if you easily find yourself in church and you're not tempted to go out drinking etc, then you can be a very good influence on your friends. maybe u could make some effort to get to know them better, not so they can be better friends and you…

i think she wants him to move to canada, she doesn't plan to go to america. so she needs the canadians to let him stay. may God guide them.

we orthodox fast a lot. this is v kind to animals! and we have the examples of the monks etc who lived in harmony with nature. then, if you want a catholic example, you could read up on st francis of asissi, a great saint. i don't know any famous p…

and in case it's not obvious, you have no guarantee you will get married to your fiancee until you are married. what if she/he leaves you straight after having sex? then you are no longer keeping yourself pure for the next person. what if, God forbi…

hope so, coz i'm one too! God wants you to know Him, to spend time with Him in prayer, Bible study, church etc. the more time you spend with God, the more you will know He is with you... ok, so not everyone is so crazy like me to put an ad in chur…
