Afraid of the Light
Most Christians live in fear of God. We are afraid He will judge us. We are afraid He won’t love us. We are afraid that our sins will become known if we are ‘too open’ with God and each other. We forget that God already knows everything about us. He already knows we are afraid.…
Read MoreYou Have the Strength
I hear it all the time. I experienced it often throughout my life. We all have moments of doubt. Do we have enough strength to do what we have to do to be healed by God? I’m here to tell you, YES, you have the strength. You will always have the strength to reach God.…
Read MoreBecome a Source for Healing
Beginning just minutes after we wake up, our day is filled with human interactions. One the street, at work, in the marketplace, around every corner we have a chance to turn someone away from God, or to become a source of healing. How we interact says it all. Timothy, my son, be strong in the…
Read MoreStop Wondering
I’ve been Orthodox Christian my entire life. For me, there was never a moment I doubted God. That being said, it never ceases to amaze me just how many people witness His power and grace but refuse to believe. They choose wonder rather than glory. I don’t get it. At that time, Jesus passed along…
Read MoreEpisode 484 – Closer to Christ in Forgiveness and Healing
When a community gathers united in Christ, healing takes place. When we bring each other closer to Christ, sins are forgiven. When Christ sees our faith as a united family, He blesses us, forgives us, and heals us. At that time, getting into a boat Jesus crossed over and came to his own city. And…

Many years ago, I was blessed to volunteer at a downtown mission center in Denver, Colorado. The mission center offered clothing and food supplies to the homeless and indigent population surrounding the ‘old church’ in the city. I learned a great deal from the nun who was director. She used to say to me, “God…

On the second Sunday of Great Lent, we are reminded of God’s saving power. Through the telling of the resurrection and healing miracles we expect great things from God. Then Saint Paul goes so far as to say God ‘rolls up’ heaven and earth. God can do it all! So, why do we insist on…

One thing I love about fasting is the purity of the food. Beans, vegetables and basic bread make up the bulk of my fasting menu. The past few years I have tried to stay away from pasta ‘just because’ of the starch. I know bread is starch, but I can’t eat soup without it. Today’s…
Read MoreDo Unmercenaries Still Exist?
The other day I blogged about rewards. The only true reward we receive from God is to live with Him eternally. How do we balance between waiting for God’s rewards and accepting rewards now while we do the work of Christ? Today the Church commemorates two saints known as unmercenaries. Saints Cyrus and John used…
Read MoreEpisode 470 – Come to God with Gratitude
Every time we ask God, He blesses us, but we don’t properly thank Him. In the story of the Ten Lepers, we learn the proper way to thank God for His blessings. It isn’t enough to say ‘thank you’ standing in front of our icons at home. We must come to spend time with Him,…
