"No one can serve two masters."

A brother said to Abba Serapion, 'Give me a word.' The old man said to him, 'What shall I say to you? You have taken the living of the widows and orphans and put it on your shelves.' For he saw them full of books.

"It is much better to lament the insensitivity of the unjust than to hate them; for even should they deserve our hatred, it is senseless for a soul that loves God to be disturbed by hatred, since when hatred is present in the soul, spiritual knowledge is paralyzed." St. Diadochos

"Lord, deliver me from idleness of spirit, and from vain thoughts that hinder Thy presence and distract my attention in prayer." - St. Parthenius of Kiev

"The devil spread three tentacles to capture the whole world. The rich to capture them with freemasonry, the poor with communism & the religious with ecumenism." - St Paisios

This clown has never read a single ecclesiastical writer from the ante-Nicene or Nicene period. For authors such as Justin Martyr, Athenagoras of Athens, Tatian the Syrian, Theophilus of Antioch, Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria, Origen of Alexandria, Lactantius, Eusebius of Caesarea and many, many others, indeed almost all of them, the existence of the Nephilim was an indisputable historical fact.

@GeoffKlein3 They are not all created equal, that's for sure

@FROTHSOF moral of the story is our Waffle House must suck ass

Let it be known I think Waffle House is overrated…but hell. My morning joint fixes me a breakfast that even out does Chik-fil-a…and I was told “they’re the best!”

@CalstaffTheGold It is the rabbit!

Watching this today with my gf, who has never seen it! The horror! The horror!

@Michaeldudufudu Was married 20 years, lost my wife to cancer. She was amazing and we had a Godly marriage. Now I leave the future to God, because I would not dream of being in another relationship with a woman that was not Orthodox. I'd rather die alone.

Yeah in a good way in fact. Allowed us to pairbond effectively. How about you guys?

Holy Martyr St. Christina of Persia "Struck with a whip, the flesh of Christina suffered, The grace of Christ poured forth like a spring of blood."

@noetic_healing It was a final power move citing an ENTIRE Psalm then using the same word for "finished" as was used at the end of creation. Any other teaching is likely heresy or borderline heresy.

The Orthodox pray through the psalms. The monastics pray/read the entire psalms every week. It would not be uncommon for a Saint in crisis or persecution to be praying a psalm or reciting the Jesus prayer. The Protestant view is that Jesus was receiving the full wrath of God, abandoned by the Father in this judicial exchange. However, it is more likely that this was the final teaching of scripture as Jesus was crying out the psalm that spoke of Him and was doing so both as a manner of prayer in persecution to give us and example of how to die as Christians, and so that the disciples would have one more key to give them hope that all would be well. God is love. He wasn’t turning His back.

@Orthodixie One thing I really did not understand. He asked his priest how to have a closer relationship with God and was told to pray...and then he treated this as if it was bad advice, when it is literally the best possible advice you can give anyone.

Subjectively, I can excuse the author; objectively, not the [once respected/prudent] publisher. What a time ...

"Have you not come to fight against invisible foes? Did you not come here to take up the warfare against your passions? For what reason did you wish to be enlisted and take your place in the ranks of Christ’s soldiers?" - St. Symeon the New Theologian
