    Supernatural Grace to live the Everyday life as a Saint!

    These words have some bearing on what we are talking about: Matthew, chapter 4: And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace...

    Supernatural Grace to live the Everyday life as a Saint!

    ......... We do not need the grace of God to withstand crises— human nature and pride are sufficient for us to face the stress and strain magnificently. But it does require the supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours of every day as a saint, going through drudgery, and living an...

    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?

    I know i love Him, but not as much as i want to. The even greater thing is that He loves me so much more it makes my love for Him look very small. I still don’t know why He loves in me, a mere speck of dirt, in the vastness of what He created. In modern parlance He is crazy about me. He vastly...

    Psalms

    Music and their lyrics can be the speaking of our heart of worship and love to our Lover. If we we have a worshipful heart most of the the time, have been forgiven, my experience is the pleasure of His company, at His choosing, but frequently.

    Portrait of an Apparent Loser

    I want to be the disciple Jesus loved (no doubt John loved Jesus). The good news is that we all can have a close relationship to Him. All it takes is the cooperation of two beings, you and God!

    Portrait of an Apparent Loser

    Just started listening to cloud of unknowing. I know i love Him and loves me much much more. I am sure there is more He will very willingly give me. Being patient and not adding my own fleshly self is course at issue. He is more than willing to give, but needs to work the material (me). Very...
