Similar idea of a camp fire, a single twig doest put out much fire but several twigs can start a large log...

    For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come (Hebrews 13:14).

    For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come (Hebrews 13:14). Brethren, where are the great cities of Babylon and Nineveh? Today, only lizards lie in the dust of their towers. Memphis and Thebes, were they not the pride of the pharaohs and princes of mankind? Today, it is...

St. Peter of Damascus writes: “If a man has a full intention to please God, then God teaches him His will either through thoughts, through some other person, or...

    On Loving God

    God wants us to love Him. He does not NEED us to love Him. He is complete in Himself. By his nature He does what He is. He is far greater than overgenerous, overloving, gentle, merciful, kind, humble, powerful...... But what I have found is that there is great pleasure in loving God. Saints...

    Jesus, the Lamb of God.jpg

    Through many centuries of time, the discerning Prophet Isaiah foresaw the awesome sacrifice on Golgotha. From afar he saw the Lord Jesus Christ led to the slaughter as a lamb is led. A lamb permits itself to be led to the slaughter as it is led to the pasture: defenseless, without fear, and...

    Is Avoiding Sexual Sin Required for the Christian? Is it Possible to Avoid Sexual sin?

    HOMILY on the weakness of man before the majesty of God And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead

    HOMILY on the weakness of man before the majesty of God And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead (Revelation 1:17). It was St. John who fell as though dead when he saw the Lord Jesus in glory. St. John—the Beloved Disciple of Jesus, the Evangelist, the chaste one, the one who loved the...

    A sinner

    From a friend: In Baptism, we were translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light - qualified - made able to successfully battle against our flesh - saved from futility, by grace. After being born again, we must fight the good fight of faith, we must abide (remain) in Him...
