what i would like to see is EVERY orthodox Christian reaching out to the communities around them. it is time that we as copts (and also as other Christians on these forums) reach out to our communities and worship in the language of the countries we…

these are beautiful and i like the fact they have the words. but i was looking for a different song, the one with the chorus: inta dost al mawta wahda (it's something like that. the english version chorus is 'resurrection is my song', it's not an ex…

good points, zoxsasi i believe, which 'god' is it your brother wants to know without going to church and reading the Bible? there are many 'gods', either made up by humans or spirits that confuse people with all the different religions. if he wants…

get a nice plant. pull it up out of the soil and leave it on the table. see if it grows.

anyone have the lyrics to 'very early sunday morning' in arabic? i love it very much! :)

there probably is some sort of new world order that will happen, but it's all too easy to waste a lot of time reading about it. a lot of the people who believe in the illuminati either believe in aliens (i have seen their website) or believe that th…

thanks for sharing this with us :) it explains a lot about Jesus Christ's human and divine natures.

really good point.

2 points: 1. the patriarchs got changed because the emperor of the roman empire had too much power and used to decide who was pope. a bit like the king/queen of britain being in charge of the anglican church, but that's another story... 2. i don't t…

geomike, i have often wondered that with other posts. my conclusion is that the system may not be perfect ;) about being coptic, i was born into an atheist family, then became a Christian as a small child when my mum, then my dad started reading t…

there are many reasons people are fat. often it is greed. u know that's u if you grab the biggest piece of chicken/ falafel on the plate (delete according to season!) or quickly eat without seeing if everyone else has enough, or, if you eat alone, y…

i think we all need to be more like abouna youstos: http://stmarycoptic.com/movies1.htm i know i am not humble. i used to think i was not bad until a kind colleague at work pointed out all my faults and was very accurate! we all need 'friends' like …

i wasn't there :o but don't tell anyone ;)

u know, sometimes u get shy in the presence of clergy, esp if they are very busy. i know i am sometimes shy even of my own bishop because he is so busy and tired and everyone wants to talk to him, i feel like i want to give him a break! so i underst…

Lovely photos, great to get the report :)

yousieg tennis, i think it was the other way round. hallowe'en, that is hallow e'en, is short for 'hallow even', or the evening of 'hallow' feast. 'hallow' is an old english word for 'saint'. so all saints day came first, then the pagans, who alread…

kefleyouhannes, that's so true! sam, one of the most important things i've (nearly) learnt in life is how to fail and how to trust in God when everyone is laughing at you. just a little eg, one exam i failed at uni and had to resit was pharmacology…

sorry, it was obviously too accurate so they censored it! basically it was talking about clashes at the border between israeli guards and palestinians protesting. here is more up to date news, i can't recommend the site as i don't know it well but t…

emotions are fine, however we must worship God in spirit and in truth no matter how we feel. so we go to church because we are sinners in need of God's grace, not because we 'feel like it'. if you are uplifted by being in church, that is fine. but i…

i have heard that the jews altered some of the meanings slightly after the time of Jesus as they we worried some of the prophecies we obviously about Him. i would also recommend the orthodox study Bible (again!) as there are loads of things in there…
-
a few ideas: include memorising verses from the Bible, with small prizes for each age group (small sweets etc). also group games involving running around, ideally outside, Bible study, with older kids being asked questions to show they understood th…

spending extra time in studying the Bible and prayer is also good. watch your tongue and give your time and possesions to others, and go to church. spend time meditating on what you have read from the Bible and the majesty of God, and ask God to be…

i agree with jydeacon, lovely posts. and if yr not sleeping, you should see your doctor. not because he/she might diagnose some horrible medical condition but a lot of doctors are reasonably good at psychology (and don't judge them, i know u r good …
