Firstly, thank God I'm not a girl. :p Second, talking a lot is never a good thing. If you ever visit a monastery, the monks really enforce quiet time and they get annoyed when you talk a lot. One of the best virtues, in my opinion, is silence. "eve…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12604.msg147992#msg147992 date=1322245161] Agape, First of all, get the facts straight. The make-shift hospital happens to be in a Presbyterian church, not in an Orthodox church. You can read about it here: http:/…

[quote author=ron link=topic=12604.msg147991#msg147991 date=1322244968] First of all, its an Anglican church. Its not coptic and you can tell, there are no crosses or icons anywhere on the walls of the church. This church is right in the middle of t…

This a big problem in theCoptic church..We're becoming way too tolerant. People are taking 'turn the other cheek' too far. We're being kicked around like dogs. I'm not saying we should return violence for violence, but we can't just sit here and let…

Also, think about the people in Egypt and all around the world. They can't even find some bread to feed their kids. I'm sure celebrating birthdays is the last thing on their list. We should be thanking God for giving us another year to live. We s…

Hi MarMar, I've always felt like that too, up until about 4 years ago. (I'm 19 now) My parents never really acknowledged my birthday, and I never really got gifts. You'll eventually grow out of it. But since you're in college now, your birthday is …

[quote author=user157 link=topic=12599.msg147937#msg147937 date=1322107103] I know fasting pleases God otherwise Jesus would not have taught it not would John the baptist or the prophets practiced it. Jesus said when you fast wash your face and put …

God will deliver you in the appropriate time. Even though you might not know, but God knows whats best for you. He only wants to see you happy. So be happy :)

[quote author=geomike link=topic=12592.msg147889#msg147889 date=1322016205] It starts on December 11! I can't wait, i am counting the days. It's the best season of the year. [/quote]same here. It's the only thing getting me through the rest of this …

Sin is sin, and is all equal, but there are different punishments for different sins

I think you start singing the Kiahk hymns when the month actually starts..Someone correct me if im wrong, but as far as i remember, you start it when kiahk starts (which i can't wait for) :)

But isn't the point of confession to feel kind of embarrassed/humiliated? That's what repentance is, to hate sin and not want to do it again.

[quote author=brother_demian link=topic=12524.msg147522#msg147522 date=1321321026] if u cant say it to you father of confession try writing it down on a paper before confession and taking it with you, try reading what`s on the paper word for word if…

What's more important than your spiritual life? People come on here to seek advice and help for their problems. In the past couple of months, I've recieved some great advice from people on this forum. Just look at your own quote! "Do not love the …

Forgive me for repeating what some may have said, but for those that are on ChristianGirl's side, saying that ReturnOrthodoxy was rough on her, we need to get real. ReturnOrthodoxy is completely right. Sometimes you have to put feelings aside and st…

ForeverYours is right. We're not monks or saints. We can't devote 100% of time to prayer. We sin everyday and God erases it completely if we truly repent. That's the devil tricking you into thinking you're not good enough in God's eyes, so you jus…

This is great, but what's the video under Annual Hymns?!! Very inappropriate!!
-
The problem with many of us who want to get closer to Christ is that we have spiritual highs and lows. We might be very into prayer one week, and then suddenly stop. A good way to always remain at that spiritual high is to have discipline in your pr…

wow i've always wanted to know what Abouna Antonious Tanious looked like! thanks!

A good question to ask yourself is what would the kids think if they saw me doing this...as Jimmy said, Service should be something that should require devotion everyday, not just on Sundays.
-
i can understand them being very studious, but this is EVERY week..i just dont see how we can expect the kids to do things (such as come to church early, go to ashaua, etc..) when the servants put no effort. not to mention, the parents expect the s…

I'm glad you posted this. This, to me, is a very important question to ask, especially in my church. I feel like they let me anyone who is a senior in high school become a servant/sunday school teacher. Nobody has ever been rejected. I feel like it…

God knows the perfect time to take his children. May the Lord repose his soul.

Thanks! yeah i found a couple, but the quality was poor.

Well, I want to show them when it's all dark and then suddenly open the curtains..so i guess the congregation's

I don't think it's wrong to have a prayer for them, but having a full service is just a little overkill, in my opinion.
