    From the way of the Pilgrim (Gleb Pokrovsky)

    More important than attending to breathing, one must learn to call upon the name of God at all times, in all places, and during all manner of activity. The apostle says: pray without ceasing; that is, he teaches constant remembrance of God at all times, in all places, and under any...

    How could the Martyr Saints Endure?

    Paul: 2 Cor 11:25 Three times i was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and day in open sea. How could Saints endure so much? How can we endure much, including the simple temptations life? I can see that it was God’s presence in...

    The Age of Paradise - Strickand

    What to me was new in this excerpt is that we are better off than Adam, we share in the life of God The primordial paradise of Adam was lost forever. However, in the "Second Adam," Jesus Christ, the apostles claimed that what had been lost due to the Fall was recovered, and even more, that in...

    Excerpt from St Chrysostom, Homilys Chapter 14

    What then? Do you command us to live for display and vain glory? Far from it; I say not this; for I did not say, Give ye diligence to bring forward your own good deeds, neither did I say, Show them; but Let your light shine. That is, Let your virtue be great, and the fire abundant, and the light...

    Echos of Elisabeth Elliot (or vice versa?) ....Oswald Chambers

    After Surrender— Then What? I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. JOHN 17:4 True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet...

    One of my greatest Heros, Elisabeth Elliot: Discipline, Commitment and Obedience

    I have listened to many many of her talks. All of them good. She gives you no escape, you must surrender to God, you must be owned by Him! I am apt to say I love God, because I do. Her saying is "Don't tell me you love God, show me", so hopefully I won't just say that I do, but do completely...

    The Law Of Love, Total Commitment

    Audio presentation. It emphasized for me that what God really wants is ourselves. He wants the old man to die and become totally His. He wants us to think and be like He is. He wants us to feel His heart of anguish at sin and people that hurt. Our God overflows with love. I think the reason He...

    Tradition

    Paul says to “hold fast to the traditions you received from me, whether by epistle or word of mouth.” What the Apostles passed on is called “Holy Tradition”, and can never be opposed by Scripture, which came later. Indeed, Holy Tradition is necessary to properly interpret Scripture.

    I liked this writing from Oswald Chambers: Missionary Weapons (1) When you were under the fig tree, I saw you. JOHN 1:48 Worshiping in Everyday Occasions. We presume that we would be ready for battle if confronted with a great crisis, but it is not the crisis that builds something within us—...
