From the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (chapter 5, verses 21- ): Instruction for Christian households Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of...

"You opened springs of life-giving waters for the Church, O Good One, as You cried: if any thirst, let them with fervour come and drink!" "Like waves of the sea, O Lover of mankind, the waves of life assail me; therefore, like Jonas I cry to You, O Word: Bring my life up from corruption...

The crucifixion of Jesus, John 19: 32-34 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the...

Oil = fruit of the Holy Spirit Those who don't bear fruit aren't worthy of the Kingdom of God.

It's an ongoing process. God keeps His part of the contract, but I fail to keep mine.

Hi! Are those painful memories about some of your past sins? If yes, then I can relate to your pain. Someone said that we are the cruelest judges of ourselves. I know I am. That person also said that we must accept our past, what we did, and transfigure it (find a redeeming meaning in it)...

It's not the fat animal, it's the heart of the one who presents the offering. God never needed animal sacrifice, this was for the people. He wanted their clean hearts. Believe the Bible word for word. If the Bible wanted to say that it smelled "really bad" it would have said those exact words...

History and documentaries tell you a lot about crucifixions, and they are right. But I want to tell you that the Church tells a different story about Christ' crucifixion. It doesn't involve bloody smells and insects... Believe the verse from Ephesians. Believe the truth. Not Mel Gibson or...

The martyrs played a key role in converting the Roman Empire to Christianity because their sacrifices bore witness of the TRUE LIVING GOD. Martyr means witness and to convert means to convince. In the Greek Orthodox Church they are the pillars of the Church; they are painted on the pillars that...

The martyrs are persons worthy of remembrance and mention and yet, Christians scarcely think about them. It's such a shame! Which is why, I want to start this thread for them. I will start with the stoning of Saint Stephen. The speech he gave in front of the Sanhedrin can be read in Acts 7, I...

If you study the Bible with the wrong mindset, you won't understand much. Don't read the Bible like a Jew/Muslim/Atheist/Pagan would read it. Read it like the martyrs did. You know, those who were praising joyfully the TRINITARIAN GOD when lions were attacking them. I don't have a problem with...
