Sin is constant , weather its thoughts, worry, fear, or saying the wrong things, or not letting go of those who hurt us. Makes sense to cut the snakes head off. God has given us everything in Christ Holy Spirit. My God shall supply all my needs according to to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus🥰🥰🙏thank you Father, I am just figuring how powerful this is, The Jesus prayer and our Father. Forgiveness and repentance 🥰🙏I will be making more effort it’s not easy when we get hit with one big thing after another.
In the story Bulgakov’s death, he is another whose face shone like a light on his death bed. Those standing around him of whom 2 were atheists, said he suddenly looked like a younger man in his 30s, before he reposed. The 2 atheists afterwards came to Christ.
In Hungary i had the opportunity to practice the Christian life practically, here in UK only isolation, nowhere to go, no community life only loneliness As if I should live a solitary life which is extremely difficult
Thank you Fr Peter for your continued ministry and dedication to fulfilling the mission what God Almighty and His son Jesus of Nazareth has put upon your life. While I do not belong to a Greek Orthodox Church, I am continually refreshed by the work being done by this ministry and others who care deeply about orthodoxy and ensuring that people are actually biblically literate and following through on what is taught and revealed.
Fr. Heers, Your message is indeed uplifting. I have a question. Was the man whose master gave him money to hold and keep safe, but who didn't at least put it into the bank to collect interest doing his best? He ended up rejected by his master.
Would this be an accurate analogy? : Each morning we must think of ourselves as “living in the pigsty” and realize our Father calls us home and rejoicing as He sees us repent and coming up His path. AKA the prodigal son.
Can someone tell me in the OSB where it says not to break the scriptures. I remember reading a line saying that i thought it was in the book of john now i cant find it. It was in parenthesis its driving me crazy.
@fildafernandes4366 i don't even see a john 10 :35 in the scriptures it doesn't even go that high. There are 3 books of john in my osb and none of them go that high.
@JUSTAM8 oh my goodness I'm so dumb I knew I saw another john in there i was like....am I going crazy? Thank you so much I'm going to check here in a bit.
Man, I needed this. I've been overwhelmed by hopelessness lately. Strangely enough, it gets worse whenever I'm in church.
Persistence is key. You are not in control, remember.
Totally agree
Feeling the same my friend. God help us 🙏
When in church God works to humble us and the demons out of anger and fear distort it into despair. For others into pride but for others into despair
Lyrics to an old Gospel song I still listen to: “For a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up.”
4:31 made me come up with the thought in my head “I’m an everyday orthodox Christian,
Everyday I try, everyday I fail.
But I try everyday.”
Action words, humility humility daily reminder,in our power and way ,humility, you are wise farther 🙏

Is it not John 10:35? I googled it
@fildafernandes4366 i don't even see a john 10 :35 in the scriptures it doesn't even go that high. There are 3 books of john in my osb and none of them go that high.
You may be looking at the 3 epistles/letters of John but in the book of the gospel - John it’s there and the verses go to 10:42. Hope this helps
@JUSTAM8 oh my goodness I'm so dumb I knew I saw another john in there i was like....am I going crazy? Thank you so much I'm going to check here in a bit.
@JUSTAM8 it did help alot in my osb it is john 10 32 thank you so much I was looking at the epistles lol. THANK YOU
