    I am 28 and have been struggling to find purpose. I was in the Army straight out of high school and found that it to be more of a corporation. I went from construction, to going to a tech school for automotive (having passed), and even been offered work on the wrong side of the law for a decent price (didn't accept it). I have found no purpose and no meaning until i found the Orthodox Church. Now I still haven't joined however what I have seen has already given me more hope than anything else despite me still not knowing what i am to do in this world. Also i must thank you for talking about a mans desire to serve. I had always thought that maybe I was broken or just weak for having that desire.

    “…and the English say they are self-made, which relieves God of a terrible burden”. John Sentamu. The spotlight is on these people because someone wants to see how they act, if such a spotlight was on many people, promoting “go out and get what you want in the world” many people would also be found to be utterly iniquitous and ego-centric. The spotlight should not be on them. Thank you for your teaching.

    I like how we are to become united to Christ in the Church, not only as single persons individually but as a body (many human hypostases) in the hypostasis of Christ and this comes by conforming our wills to God's will; by total abandonment and renunciation of self -- this should be our chief goal! As St Maximus says, "...it is necessary for us to reunite the created nature to the uncreated nature through love . . .through the acquisition of grace being fulfilled in us in the person of Christ by the Holy Spirit and our own freedom." God is so good to us and offers us such great and wonderful gifts! Sharing your channel with my family. Thank you, Fr. Moses. God bless you and your family.

    Thank you, Fr. Moses, for your videos. I was raised in a non-religious jewish family.
    I am in my mid thirties now. 3 years ago I came to know that Jesus is God and Saviour, and the most important thing in my life is to follow Him.
    There has been a radical transformation of my life, all thanks to God.
    I started watching online videos of pastors, joined the Roman Catholic church briefly, but their actions during covid lead me to seek corporal worship elsewhere.
    I am a member of a reformed Protestant church, and have been for a couple of years.
    God has blessed my wife and I with a beautiful son and we have a daughter on the way.
    I still struggle with sin, although God has removed many many sins from my life already.
    I want to know God. I want my family to know God. I want us all to love God and obey Him in all things most of all.
    I find it hard to lead my family in this and my parts and grandparents are all afflicted by diseases and they may not have a lot of time left.
    I have been searching for answers from anyone who will speak with me.
    I have so many questions and you seem like you may have the answers I am looking for, LORD willing.
    Will you help me?

    This is a huge thought of my brain.
    1.) Luke 21. Is it even ethical?
    2.) I was saved by Jesus, then God, who is also Jesus. But that doesn't mean I am going in the direction, of Jesus.
    3.) It's impossible for me to start a family, I was raised in child slavery, and can't even afford medical treatment, because of how the USA is set up,
    4.) Now I have a guitar, no entertainment besides youtube and music, because I have been confronted by the Spirit, for watching adult netflix, and just looking at movie covers, shows me what I already know. I was electrocuted twice when I was 15, pruning a tree, and was saved by a female, who was either angle, or guardian spirit, she ordered me, "Drop the Pole", I was holding a pruning pole, and it saved my life.
    5.) so now I am trying to get my mind to work, but cant engage people, because of my brain injuries, and my parents will not pay me wages for my child labor, from the age of 6 to 18, to about 21.
    6.) I know Jesus is real, work in heavy equipment, and just know, that He is real.
    A movie like Old Yeller, may not be a problem, but personally, I just don't have time. But must entertainment, and modern music videos, is not of God.
