A Conversion

A Conversion

At first St. Paul was so active at defending the Old Covenant order because he was quite certain that the will of God was to keep it unchanged. In his zeal he was moved not by the pride for the faith of his fathers, but only by his desire to …

Levels of Spiritual Understanding

Levels of Spiritual Understanding

St. Philip the Apostle asked the Ethiopian man: “Understandest thou what thou readest?” and he answered: “How can I, except some man should guide me?” [Acts 8:30-31]. How often this happens with those who read the word of God and Patristic writings! We read and do not comprehend; our mind …

Judged by Inner Disposition

St. Peter tells Simon “Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, ifperhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee" [Acts 8:21-22]. “Neither part, nor lot,” — …

Whence Heresies Come

Whence Heresies Come

“Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip" [Acts 8:13]. He believed and was baptized, — all to no avail. Evidently, there was something wrong in the setup of his faith. Genuine faith means rebuilding of one’s mind. The mind ought to be stripped bare …

Will God Abide in Your Heart?

Will God Abide in Your Heart?

St. Stephan said: “The Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands... what house will ye build Me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of My rest?" [Acts 7:48- 49]. It is only the human heart, the church not made with hands, that can become an abode …

Heart and Mind in Synergy

Heart and Mind in Synergy

О the tireless women! They would not give sleep to their eyes, nor slumber to their eyelids [Ps. 132:4], until they found their Beloved One! The men, in the meantime, were like dragging their feet: they walked to the tomb, found it empty and remained unconvinced, because they did not …

Valid Testimony

Valid Testimony

What Sts. Peter and John had earlier said to the Jewish leaders, all the Apostles repeated to them later: “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus. Whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with His right …

God Does See

God Does See

What was the reason for Ananias and Sapphira sinning so terribly [Acts 5:1-11]? They forgot that God knows everything they are doing and thinking. If only they kept in mind that God sees everything both inside and outside, they would not even think of lying to the Apostles. This is …

Works of Life, Works of Death

10:24 16.05.2026

Works of Life, Works of Death

"And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation' [Jn. 5:29]. That's how it is all going to end! Just as rivers flow, each one into its own sea, so also the flow of …

From Mindlessness to Faithlessness

11:44 15.05.2026

From Mindlessness to Faithlessness

"Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard' [Jn. 4:19-20]. This is what St. Peter and John the Apostles, who had healed a man lame from …
