we are praying. especially that the robbers will repent and look at the lovely things from the church and ask themselves difficult questions about life.

just saw it. not as rubbish as i expected, but there is a lot of mass destruction and people dying violently. it has a few strong messages, the main one being that all religions are basically the same and that we just need to all be nice to each oth…

welcome, eddie. how long have you been in usa? i know lots of nice iraqi people, may God bless you.

i think you can start fasting from 9 hours before, especially if you are on a night shift and so not going to bed before communion.

the orthodox study Bible is excellent, the only risk is that you can't stop reading it! I know some priests (coptic) who have it and they also recommend it, and they list some orthodox denominations on the inside back cover, which includes coptic al…

sorry, no time now as 1/2 asleep, but God really knows best, He is better than abouna ;) so, leave it in His hands, go to church, attend extra meetings, make friends, and you will come into contact with other single people in a group environment, w…

anyone else have any bright ideas? party is tomorrow... :o

these encouraging comments are very true. God cares for you more than you can imagine or dream of and he can turn your 'dust' into His 'dreams', that is he will carry out His plans for you. read phillipians. i failed my 1st ever surgical exam at med…

thanks for your recommendations. this is a great program broadcast yesterday on bbc4 (uk cable channel) about the history of Christianity. unusually for a west european secular perspective, the coptic church gets a mention! also fairly accurate, if,…

just in case u thought my thoughts were original (i just pass on what i learn..), here is one direct from a lovely priest in north england: (it's an imagination, not exactly true!) Satan called a world-wide convention. In his opening address to his…

no u r not going to hell. u repented before God, and u r obviously sorry coz u told all of us about it! that is what matters, God sees your heart. as sodr2 says, keep working at this and God will help u in your weakness. God is not going to look at …

doh! didn't see that! remember also v6 'in all yr ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths' ya'ani, you have to think about God at every turn in your life, so when your friend says 'well done you passed the test', you can say (eg) 'i thank…

a good way to fight depression and low motivation is to help other people out with their problems. oh, look, you're already doing that by answering people's posts on tasbeha.org! bravo, now you need to read part of the Bible every day, and talk to G…

all the patriarchs do still have various discussions with each other about EO/OO unity, sometimes officially and sometimes unofficially. lets pray for this, that Christians will all grow closer in our relatioship to God. btw i attended a russian ort…

i agree with dare with boldness' tips, also plan other stuff with your friends so alcohol can't be involved. so (eg) agree to hang out around the shops with them saturday lunchtime and share packed lunch or buy chips (idk if u guys are rich and eat …

sounds like she has a good support network. so maybe your role is just to pray and advise your friend when she is stressed about her sister. maybe also your friends' sis would benefit from hanging out with you guys as well, in a bigger group, esp if…

hi, gji, if you follow sodr2 or the least's links u get to a pdf file, and if your computer has adobe acrobat reader, you then can see 466 pages on your subject! i have copied a few bits (i only read the first few pages!) and here they are for you …

i understand a bit about this as i was only 2 or 3 pounds heavier that this lady when i was 18. (am now a massive 12 pounds heavier ;) at the same height.) i was never fat, but tended to rush off after dinner to do things and never have a second he…

hi, brother you answered yourself, yes it's not good to angry with them, i know it can be irritating but God loves them!
-
dear brothers, i am not an expert on this, but psalm 26(27):14 says 'wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.' i have met people who have waited years for their estranged children to get in touch, i myself couldn't get in t…
