    Peace within Our Minds

    Grant us the peace within the deepest hideouts of our minds, our Heavenly Father, grant us the peace above all wisdom and knowledge. Only the peace within ourselves can bring about goodwill we all need now more than ever. Goodwill and peace of mind will bring about all wisdom and knowledge we...

    Resurrection

    A boy is holding a candle The room is filled with darkness His hand is at the door Floorboards squeak and in he goes How can life enter death? And if it does, is it life no more? If it’s truly life, it cannot die Rather, it is death that dies instead The door is open, and the boy is in...

    Something came over me to write this at a random burger joint yesterday, as I was waiting for my food. Somehow, I find myself simply loving people more and more since I rediscovered Christianity. I don’t always like what they say, or how they act, but I feel I love them beneath it all. I share...

    You’re welcome.

    Faith is a work.

    Is it our faith? Is it our works? I believe the Scriptures are telling us it’s both. In the Christian east, we call it “Synergia.” To the point. We don’t know if it’s only faith or if it’s only works. Scriptures are telling us it’s both. When it states one, it often follows with the other...

    SELF REFLECTION:

    Thank you. We are a collective body of Christians, regardless of creed. If we believe in Christ as our savior, we are Christians. All differences are expressions of that mystery. All differences are models.

    Faith is a work.

    Absolutely, that’s what the Scriptures are telling us. We know what we must do, and we should go and do it. Who, and to what measure exactly, is behind all our actions is not for us to know. It is one of the mysteries of our faith.

    Faith is a work.

    “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that works it in you.” Holy Scriptures have a way of saying one followed by the other. Like nothing else in the Bible, this is not accidental.

    What do you believe and why do you believe it?

    The question you can ask yourself is this. Does the human mind have the capacity to tell if there is God or not. By itself, I think not. There are intuitions, feelings, and hunches, but that’s not enough for a modern mind like yours. But if we examine the New Testament from the historical point...

    Christ is risen!

    Hello brothers and sisters. We have come along way since our Lord and Savior had left Jerusalem, carrying the heavy burden of us all upon His shoulders, and arrived at the crossroad of times to free us all. The echo of the empty tomb can still be heard today. May our triune God bless you all.

    poem

    Nicely said. Too present for many to see, too loud for many to hear. Only by His mercy they can open their eyes, only by His grace they can quiet down the noice around them.

    Satan's Demise

    Sometimes they are overly ambitious in their strife to pull us down, that they become too obvious. Thanks for sharing. Awareness is always the key.

    SELF REFLECTION:

    Beautiful poem, thank you for sharing. It reminds me of the words of St John Chrysostom “don’t bring gold and silver into your church while leaving Christ starving in front of it,” in reference to the Parable of Last Judgement.
