    Rejoice! The 'Unreal' Isn't

    Thank God for His many gifts! Souls whom He also (among other things) dispenses extreme IQs that may or may not return thanks to Him for. If I had just a fraction more of that, I might be more attune to what the Lord does in my life and that of others. Still, as you make your way forward in...

    Why are you hurting, dear man? Elder Symeon Kragiopoulos (2015) on pain and spiritual progress

    I recently found a number of article snippets from Elder Symeon Kragiopoulos, Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery in Panorama. He is very straight forward, and I found them simple and practical, so I've pasted a great many in my delight. This one was an "oof", as someone who...

    Do You Believe That God Works Through You?

    1 John 4:7 says "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." This is not talking about the human feeling kind of love that the world always talks about, but it's talking about agape, the God-kind of love. So, the question is, do...

    Providence of God

    Monday, May 1, 2017, 7:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Amazing Grace.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 9:1-11 (NIV). As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”...
  8. Dad Zone

    Hello and Merry Christmas. What is the primary role of a father?

    I often hear Dads provide complaints about their jobs and when I ask them why they continue to work where they are miserable, the survey says! “I have to provide for my family.” Frequent stories from dads (and yes moms too) that they work long hours or travel a lot or endure an unhealthy work...

    Until I Entered

    Tuesday, October 25, 2016, midnight – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 73 (Select vv. NIV). God is Good (v. 1) A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. When you...
