The storms of life often come upon us without much warning. Crises like these will test the foundation of our “spiritual houses.” This is where faith is defined.

The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest sermon ever preached. If we know and do everything in the Sermon, there is really nothing more to do, we would have done all that is necessary for salvation.

If someone approaches Orthodox iconography unprepared he will understand absolutely nothing.

In this lesson, Michael Haldas frames prayer as communication oriented toward union rather than outcomes.

It is possible to attend Liturgy and not believe in God, or serve on the Parish Council, or sing in the choir. It is possible to believe and do these acts of service, but to live a life that is incongruent.

I CAN control the cleanliness of my heart. I can have a heart that flows with living water. And how is that possible?

The Gospel should be preached on the playground, in the office, at home, on the baseball field, and it should be preached by how we act, not only by what we say.

Jesus contrasts the narrow gate that leads to life with a wide path that leads to destruction. It takes discipline to find the narrow path...The wide path does not require patience or discipline. So, it is attractive to people.
