or is everything going to crap at an alarming rate? Lord have mercy!

This was emailed to me today and since it deals with Orthodoxy, I thought I would share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF5EQCJ27AQ

Came across this while youtubin'. Just wanted to share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44gggoAk3XY

“There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men's sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all...

We are told to pray with tears of repentance. I have had times when this has occurred. Were they genuine or not - only God knows. Most of the time though, even when I ask forgiveness of my sins, even in confession, I do not feel truly sad it seems. Does anyone else experience this? Michael

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand Time better, from the Orthodox perspective. I have scoured the internet without much avail. I did find a book from St. Tikhon's press entitled, "Time and Man" by Georgios I. Mantzaridis. It has not arrived yet. I know that the linear...

I have read about truths revealed in non-Christian religions, especially in early Greek philosophers and I have to wonder - how were these things revealed to them? I believe it's a redundant question to some extent but I have to ask nonetheless. In Christ, Michael

Can anyone explain to me what "...bowels of His mercy" means? I guess I'm mainly referring to the word "bowels." I know what it means in the English understanding- is it the same? Something isn't clicking here for me. Please forgive my ignorance. Michael

It amazes me how cold and unforgiving we can be sometimes. The media mentions 26 names, but they forget to mention the gunman's mother and the gunman himself. I may take criticism for mentioning this but what would Christ have us do? Are not the gunman and his mother also NOT victims? This...

I just wanted to say thanks be to God because my 13 year old son, whom is from a previous marriage is allowed to join the Church! I have discussed it with his mother for at least 6 years or so and she was always very much against it. My priest said not to push, but on occasion I tried to sway...
