Please pass along to Fr. Seraphim that we give thanks to God for the Mull Monastery and his words of encouragement. I'll continue to pray for Ancient Faith, our Orthodox brethren and sistren worldwide, and all those still lost and wandering in darkness. Please, continue to pray for us, too, and for me especially (my name is Gobnata).
I'm a Roman Catholic & I love my Orthodox & Protestant brothers and sisters. I pray for all of you, and I hope you pray for me. I know we have important doctrinal differences that need to be sorted out, but we must stand together against the World, the Flesh, and the Devil!
My dear soul, may Christ bless you richly through His Grace. Why, as a Christian, do you use the tag “ evilboy “? We are the sons of Light( 1 Thessalonians 5: 5-11). Let us spread the Light of Christ through our lives - and through God’s Grace.
I am an Orthodox catechumen, but my mother was Catholic. We both grew up in the Church of Christ. She became Catholic in the year 2000. I have many friends and neighbors who are Catholic and Protestant as well. I love them all dearly and I pray for everyone. Love and prayers, brother. 🙏🏻☦️❤
My name is John Christopher Smith. I live in Michigan and I'm 52 years old. I'm African American and I was raised in the pentecostal church. My life of rebellion started when I left home to go to college and this video explains everything that I experienced. I started drinking and smoking and living the party lifestyle and that pretty much characterized my life after that. It sabotaged every good thing that I tried to do and caused me to lose everything and hurt a lot of people. The hardest part to deal with was the shame and guilt I carried for years from the judgement and condemnation that I received from everyone. I hated myself because I new I'd done it to myself. I thank God for allowing me to hear these words because I now know that what I was seeking all along was a real and authentic experience with Jesus.
You're message resonated to my wretched song. The reproach of the church was what my flesh used as fuel to self justify apostasy, and didn't believe God was even real for over a decade of blasphemy. But yet while we were still sinners, Christ died for the unrighteous. He has to break everything for my hard heart to kneel. Like you described, I was a true nehilist , I lost, according to the flesh, nearly all possessions, gone Jobs, gone Will to live, gone Ambition dead Christ gave me knew life, 3years ago, and now a once hatred of the churches, and mocking God, now turned into sorrow for the state of the Church. And a wish to see it united Of course I know it's possible, God can do anything even in an instant. But would He actually answer such a prayer as casting down the mountain of the divided church, it's hypocrisy, bitterness, and the slander done. against Christ Himself And to be bold enough for a 2nd mountain, the mysteries of the blessed Scriptures being revealed in their truest interpretation and balance of doctrines, resolving honest disputes of ignorance of the truth of God?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I needed this reboot. I needed to be reminded of my own rebelliousness as a parent willing my children to come to Christ.
To continue lying to ourselves, to have lack of accountability does not fool our Lord. He only continues to humble us until we put behind our self seeking, wilfulness etc. But still be embraced by his love when we cry out in the wilderness of our own making. Holy Father help me in my fallen state🙏🙏
Where have you ortho bros been all my life? You are addressing the exact issues I've had with Christianity since my youth. I burned for meaning but always bounced off the inauthentic representation of Christians I saw in media and on the exterior of the many congregational churches in my area. Corny and flimsy and fake -- bendable. I have been memorized by you and some others on youtube from the orthodox angle. Feels real and actually spiritual. I want to join. There is like an impossible oldness to the way you guys you speak and intimate understanding of human nature that I just never felt before. I truly am glad you're here. I need it.
I thank Christ my God, He helps me through your father, your words which to me is from Christ helped me in my dark time, and this video may be the answer for the situation I am in. As always this sinner begs you to keep me (Chandan Roy Chowdhury) in your prayers, even if it is for a small amount of time of prayer. May Christ bless all.
I loved this one. It felt like it was very much a target that I needed to have hit, I’m learning more to force myself to do the right things, like prayer and fasting. I understand that I can be better than I once was, and I try very much to not make others look shameful in my mind because I know that I struggle and have for so long with just being a part of the world. Particularly I’d like to ask a question. I understand the difference between condemnation and criticism of sin, but how can I be critical to someone that has lived that way their whole life without condemning them, especially when they will only take any criticism as an attack on who they are. I’d like to have my family become more faithful but I feel that I cannot reach them. I know that it would be more proper for me to have my own spiritual father guide me, but I don’t have one yet, as I am still struggling with finding a church.
Hello. I wonder if you could check the orders for the prayer books that I have ordered (Michelle Moline) I have yet to receive them. It's been nearly 4 weeks. Thank you

Your dogma is from the Devil. However, we can always work on putting a stop to baby-murder, etc.

Like you described, I was a true nehilist ,
I lost, according to the flesh, nearly all possessions, gone
Jobs, gone
Will to live, gone
Ambition dead
Christ gave me knew life, 3years ago, and now a once hatred of the churches, and mocking God, now turned into sorrow for the state of the Church. And a wish to see it united

I am grateful for this, and I am already 73🇫🇮
