I was raised Protestant and grew up in a Missionary Baptist Church where my grandfather was Pastor. In recent years I've grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of strong masculine leadership and the perception to the world that the Christian man is weak nice guy who gets walked over. It infuriates me because that is not Who David was that is not who the Christ is for they are the ideal example of Manhood. This sermon has blessed me In a special way. I've only begun to explore orthodoxy for only a week now but I am so encouraged! The stories and writings of the church fathers are the most inspiring examples of strength, boldness and faith I have ever heard and I am so encouraged to learn more Bless You

I always knew there was a god. I wasn't baptized as a child in the church because my mother lost her faith. It doesn't matter how weak you are. I was stuck in the middle of a burning apt building at 2am. I was the manager and was terrified and frozen in the hallway as everything burned while people were sleeping. The guy next door was a bad alcoholic and fell asleep with a cigarette. when i opened his door with my key the heat. smoke and flames came rolling out. I could see him stumbling through smoke and the orange glow off the wall. i knew then everyone was gonna die. there was no time to alert and get them out, I couldn't get him out. People always talked about how brave I was in the industry I grew up in, all the people and sometimes dangerous situations I dealt with over the years. but I was drunk most of the time in those days. I couldn't run because I knew I couldn't live with myself if anyone died. I was supposed to lead them out, but there was no time, and I was afraid and frozen. I called on our father and told him what I was....like he didn't know....a voice said to call "him" to intercede. Why would God tell me to call on him, I just did. The flames were crawling up the hallway walls now, and the entire ceiling was on fire. The smoke and heat were so bad. The building was very old. It went up like an old tinderbox. I heard my voice calling out for St Micheal the Archangel to intercede. Now two minutes had passed and I could still see the old guy in the room coughing and sputtering as he finally fell down. Suddenly something entered me. I believe it was him, or someone under his command. I was strong and without blemish. I felt pure, but, I wasn't me. He used my body and mind is the only way I can describe it. I walked through the fire into the drunk guys apartment. He tried to fight but I knocked him out gently and dragged him on the hallway floor, down the stairs and out the front door and threw him on a bench. He was the first out. The summer air was so cool and beautiful after all that heat. But the Angel wasn't done with me yet. I ran back in and got the other guy and his cat out. I ran down the hall to the back of the building but couldn't get through the flames, and the roof was just a tarpit so it was leaking down into the hallway. I ran around the block to the back while the second guy sat on the bench and called 911. He got all those people out too. I can;t yell that loud with that kind of authority. Everyone heard my voice and came out. No one questioned me. They all folowed his orders. No one looked me in the eye that night. People said after how scary I looked. All covered in grime and sweat, yelling at them like a drill sergeant. They said I looked different, thicker, stronger, younger. I talked to the fire chief that night. He told me to stick around for his report and the fire investigator. I did. All those feelings of pureness and strenght dissapated as the hours wore on and they fought that fire and all that burning tar. The next afternoon when he came looking for me people pointed to me sitting on the bench. He came over but said he didn't recognize me from the night before. I assured him it was me he spoke to. You looked younger in the dark he laughed. I will spend the rest of my life studying and following God. One day I'll feel that again, maybe not in this life, but I don't care. Everything happened in 8 minutes. It was impossible, the fire investigator said so. As we sat in his truck and talked he told me what a big hero I was. I laughed and said "Really?" "You think this old worn out body did that?" I told him the story. He shrugged and said he needed a few of those guys in the department. No one believed me. Yes it's annoying when people give you someone elses credit. God doesn't care how weak and cowardly I am. He'll show up 100% if I'm honest with him.

The ladder of divine assent was and still is one of my favorite spiritual books. I'd say however knowing what I know now from spiritual warfare is that the quickest way to overcome cowardice, is to be prepared to die. Fear of suffering, fear of death can be masked by the sin of impurity or gluttony. Sexual and/or dietary discipline often reveals fears that were otherwise masked by the obviously fleshly sins of overindulgence in that individual soul's life. I think it's why most people fail in the monastic life, and even fail as a mere lay faithful, they thought they were better people than they were and when put to the test.... mene, tekel, peres.

The Catholic Church is the One True Church of Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ. Jorge Bergoglio and the other evil henchmen are members of the Modernist AntiCatholic religion called the Novus Ordo, which was created to draw Catholics away from the Catholic Church and into the eventual One World Religion that is leading souls to eternal damnation in the fires of Hell. Actual Catholicism can be found underground in Priestly Societies such as the SSPV, for example. This is occurring because we are living during the time of a global chastisement due to the sins of the world. Please study the writings of Pope St. Pius X against Modernism. He battled the Modernists and drove them underground for a period of time. They came back as was foretold and are doing everything in their power to achieve Satan’s global agenda of death, destruction and to drag as many souls as possible to Hell.

Same. Abusive poor family, then orphanage, adoption then less abusive richer family. For the longest time I didn't even consider myself a person, i was hurt and then neglected. I didn't even feel like i existed and did outlandish things to get reactions, testing whether i even made an impact in the world, or if i was really just a ghost. I've struggled immeasurebly and have even cursed at God, thinking that he's just like my parents (both sets). Im a father now and i feel like im failing horribly. I have been overwhelmed by anger numerous times and have even hurt the ones im supposed to love and protect. I feel like a shattered man and I can only count on one person to put me back together.

If you don’t mind me asking, for me I turned my prayer into purposeful motion. I knew god from being brought up in a Christian household but left the church because of the lack of masculinity and fear of not being the strongest if I need to be which I saw in many Christian men just not the leader that would crawl in the trenches with you. After that I became filthy until my soul literally started to hurt. I would wake up in the middle of the night and would feel unbearable pain until I become so vulnerable to the belief that there is something bigger and that was when my life started. It was like I all the shit was burnt from me. Since then I’ve been isolated, hurt, ground and with god i keep learning that he will let you get to the point where you think it’s done. My question then is it really possible to know god or even recognize that there is something bigger without true suffering?

Jesus' response is from Deuteronomy 6:16-25. He says, "again it is written, 'do not put the LORD your God to the test.'" In its context in Deuteronomy, Moses is reminding the people of the time they demanded a miracle from God and threatened to return to Egypt if He would not perform it.

But how can we get to that point of having so much trust in Christ as Saint Anthony the Great or Saint Joseph the Hesichast? I am very proud and very coward. I was also abused physically and sexually in my childhood. My pride comes from my own lack of self esteem and always feeling not good enough to receive the love I hunger for. Also, it is really hard for me to have this trust in God (against my own cowardice) even though He has a strong presence in my life. But because I wasn't protected in those weak moments as a child, I'm confused and I would say that my body rejects trusting God. It is not something I can ignore. And I see that my life is a constant run from reality. I can't find a solution to my problems.

Simply yield to God in your prayers and trust in Him, understand that these thoughts are interjected in your mind since the spiritual enemy loves to exploits our weaknesses. I hope this can help you

@@ethanb2554 You are an adult. Any Priest will tell you that. It doesn't matter what you think, you're an adult man, not a child. In Orthodoxy, we take responsibility for our actions. Men are to be men, women are to be women. That's the Orthodox way. Our Saints would not agree with you. This is why the Church runs background checks on those who want to work around children. Identifying as a child doesn't make you one.

I have a question here and please someone with biblical knowledge answer. Why doesn’t the Greek Orthodox Church in Montreal and Laval Canada doesn’t allow my nephew who was baptized in a Orthodox Church isn’t allowed to Baptize his Nephew because he was married in a Catholic Church so ridiculous and such hypocrisy on behalf of the Greek Orthodox Churches please answer this question thank you in Jesus name

@LadyMaria 9 ай бұрын
His marriage isn't recognized by the Orthodox Church. It's not ridiculous or hypocritical at all. Orthodox Christians marry in the Orthodox Church. It's part of our theology. If people don't want to adhere to the Faith then they can't expect to have these privileges. Being a godparent requires one to be able to commune and if married, married in the Church.

Not once have you mentioned the Holy Ghost / Spirit. Therefore, you make no distinguishment between the natural (unsaved/carnal) person & the spiritual (saved/spirit-filled) person who can actually overcome. This teaching you give allows anyone to jump into demonic attack without the protection & power of God's Holy Spirit. Though, Jesus was fully human and fully divine... the Lord never acted out in his own power but rather demonstrated to us to trust in God always in every circumstance.
