Guarding Our ThoughtsOur thoughts really do have an impact on our world. Negative thoughts about family members or fellow employees change our relationships. If we dislike someone at work and allow ourselves to think poorly of them, they are likely to fulfill our low expectations. If we pray for them and ask God to bless them, while asking the Lord to bless our interaction with them, they become changed for the good and so do we. |

When You Fall, Get Up AgainIt is often the case that we fail to keep God's commandments and find ourselves despondent, unable to make progress in the battle over our sins. The same sins seem to constantly plague us. Despondency is our enemy, for it is the tool the demons use to keep us distracted from the goal. They want us to give up the battle. |

Speak, Lord; Thy Servant HearethOur American culture has become so enamored, even consumed, with the importance of "self" that we've made idols out of personal gain and fulfillment. Americans are ever seeking after "the things of this world," to the degree, in fact, that we have as a culture forgotten the basic truths that our ancestors took for granted. We have forgotten the importance of living altruistic lives, of living for the ultimate good of all, rather than the limiting scope of our materialistic needs. |
04:03 |

What We Believe Does MatterAs our society has become more pluralistic, it has been easy for some to fall into the error of believing that it ultimately does not matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere. |
04:31 |
|
|
|
|
| Oct 26, 2011 |
Being Orthodox in a Non-Orthodox WorldIn this pluralistic society there are many Orthodox individuals who've found themselves sharing their lives with non-Orthodox family members. Sometimes these families are not even practicing Christians, so the struggle to keep to the traditions and practices of the Orthodox Faith can be difficult. The lenten periods can be especially hard when the whole family is eating meat, eggs and dairy, while the Orthodox member is required by the Church to fast. |
05:59 |
|
|
|
|
| Oct 25, 2011 |
Loving Fellow Church MembersAs Christians, we are always finding ourselves struggling against the passions and trying, with Christ's help, to live according to the commandments. Our Lord told us that we must love our neighbor whom we've seen, if we are to love God whom we've not seen. Yet the struggle to really love others is often the most trying and difficult when it comes to loving fellow church members. |

Good ShepherdsIn the Gospel, Christ describes Himself to his disciples as "The Good Shepherd" Who willingly lays down his life for His sheep. Like any good shepherd, Jesus lovingly calls his sheep and bids us to come forth, follow Him, and enter into the "green pastures" of eternal life. There is no intimidation, as with the sheep dogs, but only the loving sounds of the shepherd whose sheep recognize a voice that is comforting and draws them into a safe place. |
