Praying and Doing

Praying and Doing

“Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven" [Mt. 7:21]. Prayer alone is not enough for salvation; prayer has to be joined with doing God’s will — that is, …

False Prophets and Their Fashions

11:01 02.07.2026

False Prophets and Their Fashions

“Beware of false prophets" [Mt. 7:15]. This warning has always been timely, since the beginning of Christianity and through this very day. The Lord did not say exactly which false prophets to beware of; indeed, how to define them? They change like fashions, and every age bears new ones. They …

Sinful Disease of Anxiety

11:12 01.07.2026

Sinful Disease of Anxiety

“Take no care" [Mt. 6:31]. How then can we live? We need to eat, to drink, to wear clothing. Yet the Savior does not say “do nothing", but merely “don’t be anxious" — that is, do not trouble yourself with this anxiety which consumes you day and night, never giving …

New Creature Born of Grace

11:35 30.06.2026

New Creature Born of Grace

The Holy Church commemorates the Saints every day. But many Saints lived and struggled without fame, unknown to the Church on earth; so, to give them due honor, a day has been set to glorify all who have pleased the Lord throughout the ages, lest anyone of them should remain …

People’s Hate and Christian Love

11:33 29.06.2026

People’s Hate and Christian Love

‘‘‘'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you’’ [Mt. 5:44]. There is hardly anyone in this world completely without love: people love their parents and relatives, love those who do them good, …

Dealing with Personal Animosity

10:59 28.06.2026

Dealing with Personal Animosity

“But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil” [Mt. 5:39] — or, in other words, as it might seem — give in to people’s malice and enmity. Is it at all possible to live by such a rule? Don’t worry. The One Who has given this commandment is …

Looking at the Opposite Sex

10:18 27.06.2026

Looking at the Opposite Sex

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart"’ [Mt. 5:28]. Is it possible, living in the world, not to look at women? Adultery, however, is paralleled not merely to looking at a woman, but to looking at her with lust. …

Exceeding Scribes and Pharisees

11:02 26.06.2026

Exceeding Scribes and Pharisees

“Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven" [Mt. 5:20]. A typical feature of the Scribes was the knowledge of the Old Testament Law with no concern for living according to the Law; a typical …

Temptations as a Rule

11:18 25.06.2026

Temptations as a Rule

After the Lord was baptized, when the Spirit descended upon Him as a dove, He came into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil [Mt. 4:1]. Such is also the way of every Christian. St. Isaac of Syria, a prominent author of the VI century, noted somewhere that as …

Three Stages of Grace from the Spirit

11:21 24.06.2026

Three Stages of Grace from the Spirit

The Lord said to His disciples, encouraging them, "I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if 1 depart, 1 will send him unto you” [Jn. 16:7]. The Holy Spirit, …
