You Need AWE In Your Life!

Christ is Born! Glorify Him! The Christian Church has been around a long time! And the place it's existed the longest is the place where it first sprang up. The Church is, at its heart, a Semitic Faith, an Eastern Faith. And that's because the Christian Church is the fulfillment of the promises made by God…

What Do You THIRST For?

Christ is born! Glorify Him! My doctor looked at me and said “Father, your body is thirsty! You need to drink more water!” What I mistook for hunger was actually my body being thirsty! Wow, what a revelation. So, it is with our lives. We can mistake our thirst for God as a thirst for safety or…

Christ is Born! On this Feast of the Nativity, let's take the time to celebrate this season of 12 days with attentiveness! I never will forget telling my mom that our family would be late for Christmas dinner because we had a church service that day! She said "Church on Christmas Day? Why?" Now, to be fair,…

It's time to insist on some heavy theology today. It's time to stop playing around with this Orthodox Faith as some Christmas toy! So, let's buckle our proverbial seat beats and do some soul stretching theological work out! Jesus Christ is 100% God and, at the very same time 100% Man. As St. Basil declares "What…

Time To Graduate From Kindergarten!

They say "Christmas is for kids" and that is an intoxicating lie, but ONLY if we resign ourselves to not growing up in our Universe Changing Orthodox Faith. It is a particular temptation in our increasingly secular society where it seems everything in the public realm is reduced to sentimentality and all about our "feelings." But…

How Did You React to The News?

The news struck me as wonderful, but my friend looked at m with surprise when I reacted with a smile and "congratulations" at him telling me that the company he worked for was letting him go. He seemed to be genuinely amazed that I was actually happy for him. You see, the company he worked for…

We're in the Home Stretch for our End-Of-Year Fundraising goal. We've had over $3800 come in so far toward our $5000 goal and we have 10 more days until the New Year.

Your ETERNAL Home

"Home is where the heart is." "There's no place like home." "I'll be home for Christmas." OK, this could go on all day. It seems we humans have an attachment to "home." Even the word itself conjures up images, feelings, and nostalgia. But what is "home?" Why all this human focus on such a notion? I'm convinced…

Are You A Stranger To Yourself?

I remember as a boy dreading recess at school. You see, I was a bit of a bookworm and not very athletic, and so when it came to be picked for teams, I was usually the kid who got picked last. Ugh! I hated that. It was embarrassing and it made me feel like a…
