Churchless apologetics be like “you can go to literally any church to be a Christian, just not an Orthodox Church. You don’t even have to go to church. Make your own church in your brain. But whatever you do, do not go to an orthodox christian church.”

Orthodox X is a net negative on the church and the faith as a whole. Really sad to just open the app for a second and see the slander, the hate, and the vileness. Actually live the faith and serve your parish with all your energies instead of spreading hate. Lord have mercy.

@saybrook_22 @GraveyardServer @chasingdomes If you actually knew his story, he was exposed to the Orthodox Church as a child from one of his childhood friends. And he as a speech impediment.

But as soon as you want others to notice the goodness and virtue in you, then say good-bye to spiritual peace." -St. Anatoly of Optina

"God Himself lives in that man who has a peaceful heart. Above all: consider yourself worse than everyone, seek neither love nor honor from anyone, but have them yourself for everyone - thus you will obtain peace.

Gen Z is completely enamored with sacred music. They have no interest in what sounds like bad 70s music combined with shallow theology. They want the ancient and timeless music of the church.

Before David committed adultery the Bible says that it was the time of the year that kings go forth to battle and he was lying on his bed, napping at noontide. Sloth and laziness will lead to our demise. Stay vigilant, brethren.

“There is no practice more dangerous than that of borrowing money; for when a man goes into debt, he gives to another power over his liberty.”

For the most part, in times of plenty he forgets himself, but in times of various sorrows he becomes more attentive to his salvation.”

—St Ambrose of Optina

“A continuously happy life produces extremely unhappy consequences. In nature we see that there are not always pleasant springs and fruitful summers, and sometimes autumn is rainy and winter cold and snowy, and there is flooding and wind and storms,

and moreover the crops fail and there are famine, troubles, sicknesses and many other misfortunes. All of this is beneficial so that man might learn through prudence, patience and humility.

@Fatherspyridon "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

"Let us train boys from earliest childhood to be patient when they suffer wrongs themselves, but, if they see another being wronged, to sally forth courageously and aid the sufferer in fitting measure.
