Very well said, Father. And permit me to add: it's been very difficult to be a true Christian everywhere. And I mean even out of orthodoxy.
Christos Anesti!
Except with the Father. I think perhaps Christ faced this difficulty for us. 😅
As Christians,
Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. We're called and commissioned to share the Holy Gospel of Christ in America to those who don't believe in God and don't believe in Christ. We're the light of the world and the salt of the earth. As the Venerable Fulton J Sheen famously quoted saying,
"The Gospels did not start the church; the church started the Gospels. The church did not come out of the Gospels; the Gospels came out of the church."
I am going to put out a book on philosophy that underpins many of the points Father Nicholas made here: "fear of knowledge: against relativism and constructivism" by Paul Boghossian.
Published in 2006 but it read like a critique of today. It has been helping me to develop a wider basis for objective belief founded in Christanity.
A great quick summary of what we all face and how to live our faith every day!
The closest orthodox church is almost 2 hours away from me. Ive found that is a problem with newly converted. I watch the vigils and liturgies online. I work long shifts on weekends but my prayer and faith is strong.
That’s a difficult situation. May God bless you in your faith!
Maybe you could start a local orthodox congregation.... if you can find one or two more orthodox in your area?
I have the same issue, and I feel your struggle. May God bless you.
Brother did you ever work something out? I have the same issue working all weekends but off during the week
@joshua9862 God did he made me move. But it's farther away. He loves to see us challenged
obedience equals faith. Truth is Christ!
That is all. Thank you for this good message Father!
Subdeacon Christopher
The truth comes from nowhere but the Father through the Holy Spirit and with him after Christ we are in the Church.
Together good way, participate do the work help people you helped me tonight to be more courageous. I been in a evil rut. Like coffin with both ends kicked out. I be alone all the time
