Foretaste of Paradise

In the beginning of the Sermon of the Mount which is called the Beatitudes [Mt. 5:1-12] the Lord shows us the condition of a heavenly heart. It includes humility — “Blessed are the poor in spirit...'"', sorrow and contrition — “Blessed are they that mourn..."; meekness and kindness — “Blessed …

Works of Flesh and Blood

Works of Flesh and Blood

“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" [ ICor. 15:50]. Therefore, to enter the Kingdom we have to as if lose flesh and blood — that is, establish such a way of life in which they play no significant role. That can be done by a complete rejection …

In the Footsteps of Abraham

“The Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee" [Gen. 12:1]. This is a clear image of that conversion of the heart which is wrought in true believers when they …

Bridling the Flesh

“He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes” [Prov. 13:24]. For the time being, let us leave little children alone and see how this can be applied to us adults: “Don't be lenient to yourself, chasten yourself vigorously”. Self-pity is at the …

Baptism and the Cross

Baptism and the Cross

The Russian words for baptism (kreschenie) and cross (krest) sound somewhat alike. This is a fitting likeness. Indeed, even though in baptism the visible part is immersion in water, the essence of baptism is crucifixion together with Christ on an inner spiritual cross. St. Paul says that in baptism “our …

Baptism as a Dividing Wall

St. Paul says that the Jews who crossed the Red Sea were baptized in it [ICor. 10:2]; this baptism served as a dividing line between them and the land of Egypt. St. Peter adds to this: “In a similar way. even baptism doth also now save us” [1 Peter 3:21]. …

Follow Him Bearing Your Cross

Follow Him Bearing Your Cross

“Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me” [Mk. 8:34]. The Lord is carrying His cross. No one can possibly follow Him without a cross of his own; neither can you. So, what is this cross? All kinds of troubles, hardships …

New Man Created

11:29 06.04.2026

New Man Created

‘I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" [Mk. 2:17]. The Lord has been calling the foolish through the lips of Divine Wisdom, and now we hear how He, while walking on the earth, is calling the sinners. Neither proud wizards, nor self-styling righteous, have a place …

No Goodness Without God

11:07 05.04.2026

No Goodness Without God

“An ungodly man shall fall by his own ungodliness" [Prov. 11:5]. Ungodliness means a false view of God, or forgetting Him altogether, including disbelief in His existence and in His providence for the created universe. Some people, under pressure of such ungodly thoughts, still desiring to be good, take the …
