You spend 10-12 minutes on the introductory prayers!? :o
I feel so ashamed of myself.
Just curious, have you attended a Liturgy yet?
I apologize that I have nothing useful to add to this thread... as with all the other threads. No one has yell…
I need to learn to do this. I couldn't even remember the theme of today's sermon. I'm guessing it was about laying up treasures in heaven since he usually relates it to the Gospel.
What are the 5-6 songs you thought of?
-Blessed are those who have mercy
-Here my Cry I pray to Thee
-Don't Leave me Alone
-Forgive me my Redeemer
-In the Midst of the raging sea
-Wounded
-Take my Hand Dear Savior
-Tired and Weary
-Psalm 3
-He paid…
Lol sorry that's not what I meant to ask. Is olive oil used the same in cooking as other oils? I know it gives a different, stronger, taste in foods, but that's not the reason we should abstain from it? Was HH speaking specifically about olive oil o…
No lol, they didn't pray their way out of struggle. Many martyrs saw other martyrs being tortured and screamed "I AM CHRISTIAN!"-- it was a choice. They accepted it. They wanted it. I don't think they prayed for God to take it away from them lol. I'…
The more we know about a person and talk to them frequently, the more we have faith in them.
The more we are in conversation with God through prayer the more our faith increases in Him.
The logic is simple: would you take a risk if a stranger aske…
Abouna, what are your thoughts on Via Dolorosa?
Most of us are familiar with it from "Voices of Joy" produced by St. Mary & Archangel Michael's COC in Florida.
I personally did not know it was originally Protestant until recently. Sounds pre…

I tried almost everything!!
Can you explain what you meant by "everything"?
It will prevent your response of "I tried that already" every time someone suggests an idea.
As for the pamphlets, you'll need to incorporate the focus of the group, the …
Actually dzheremi, I never had any great ideas. I was speechless after ChildofOrthodoxy's post. All I'm good for on tasbeha.org is complimenting/refuting others' posts and asking annoying questions.
They should make me moderator sometime. This is h…
Why do some people die without ever even hearing about Jesus or God or whatever?
Your question about the people who die before ever hearing God's word is addressed in Romans. I can supply the text, but maybe someone here can give you a better expl…
I had a big reply ready several times and was about to click "reply", but then my mind flashed to Psalm 46
NO! I feel like I just lost a great opportunity! No more doing that on here, please. It's not allowed. All great ideas MUST be posted.
Thank…
Amazing post!
I always wondered why our Lord didn't wait for Thomas before bestowing His peace to the disciples, but the way you told the story put a lot of things into perspective.
Thank you!!
I am actually quite surprised as I assumed you have had much more experience in the Orthodox church. The answers you provide in your posts sound very familiar and comfortable. I don't sense any Protestant or Catholic style in your writing. I guess …
Soroeht,
Although I am quite confused about your Protestant comment, my question to Ioannes was not a sarcastic one. In other words, I was asking what this group's purpose was, hoping that he would explain it's intentions (although I vaguely rememb…
Oh boy! This sounds like fun!!
I don't have any cool ideas at the moment though.
When I was in 4th grade, we had something similar called a "Junior Invention Fair". My invention was lame though: Disposable waste in your Car (basically a plastic b…
Your English seems better than mine. ;)
I heard a lot of good things about Rosetta Stone, although probably not cheap. I'm currently trying to learn Arabic, and reading a lot seems to improve my fluency.
I think geomike should share his tips her…
This probably isn't the thread for it, and since I didn't want to create a new thread (eh I guess I could of..), I thought, and hoped, Thoxsasi would be kind enough to let me hijack this one.. as I did with all his other ones, to ask a question.
I…
Lol I don't get bored easily! It's hard to be patient with something when you don't have the talent for it :P
Two days was more than enough. I thought.
