Iznik and the Predators of Humanity: What “Unity” Conceals

Dear readers, I present to you a translation of a message from Met. Luke of Zaporozhye about the meeting of Pat. Bartholomew and Pope Leo at Iznik (Nicaea), which happened not long ago. His message is forthright and timely. I have posted a number of other messages from Met. Luke on this blog. They may …

Must Christians Bless the Modern State of Israel?

“His disciples came to him and showed him the buildings of the temple. But Jesus told them, 'You see all of these things, do you not? Amen, I tell you that not one stone will be left standing on another; all will be thrown down,'” Matthew 24: 1-2. After years of Jewish resistance to the …

Call No Man Father! Don’t You Read the Bible, Bruh?

“Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven,” Matt. 23:9. Every so often, a goodhearted Protestant will post this verse in the comment section of my social media. “Matthew 23:9, what are you doing, brother?” “Call no man father … whatever Jesus!” I appreciate their …

Christian Martyrs of the Muslim Yoke: Holy Martyr Manuel

May we not forget the multitude of Christian martyrs who have suffered under the brutalities of Islam. Once again, Christians and minority Muslim groups are being brutally murdered by Sunni Islamists, may we recall the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have a hard-to-find and out-of-print book, “New Martyrs of the Turkish Yoke,” translated …

Should Christians Resist Evil?

Not long ago, I encountered an article posted on social media entitled, “Orthodox Christian Destroys Satanic Temple Display in New Hampshire.” The comment section was of interest, in it there were a fair amount of even Orthodox Christians commenting, in basic, “I don't agree with the actions of this person.” They claimed it is, in …

The Destruction of Christian Symbolism and the Rise of Utilitarian Materialism

A primary necessity for the Christian life is to stay centered on Christ in all things. It is only in the purifying light of God that we see light, and become enlightened. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.”1 By abiding in …

The Burning Bush in a World on Fire

The Twentieth Century was the bloodiest century known to mankind. The Twenty-First Century seems to have learned nothing from the previous, or maybe, rather, it is purposefully applying the instructions of the last century. More Christians were martyred in the Twentieth Century than any previous one. More Christians were martyred during the Twentieth Century than …

We Found Witches! The Inquisition of Control over Human Freedom

“You have to force behaviors,” Larry Fink of BlackRock. The above quote comes from a 2017 interview that has resurfaced on the internet. In it Mr. Fink (sounds like a Dickens character, “Squeeze them Mr. Fink, squeeze them!”) speaks about how behavior must be forced to change and, in basic, certain prominent groups should use …

Without Icon, there is no Christianity

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life” (Jn 8:12), says the Lord Jesus. It is only in the purifying light of God that we see light and become full of light. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore …

Should We Ever be Silent on the Matters of Faith? Lessons from the Life of St. Maximus the Confessor.

It is, most likely, a tactic as old as history. Incite questions, or clear attack, as to the motive and character of your opponent, discredit him, and thereby circumvent addressing any viable and legitimate topics or issues he may raise or present. In modern times this is called character assassination. In the study of fallacies, …
