A Church that finds itself in need of spiritual renewal has truly lost its way! Much has been written on our blog about the charismatic revival movement Blessed Seraphim Rose talked so much about, but it may appear that it is only starting to happen that his words are becoming truly prophetic. The charismatic revival

In 1992, the Romanian Orthodox Church (or BOR) signed the Balamand Accord in Lebanon, a document that recognized the Roman Catholic Church as a “Sister Church” and its mysteries as saving and valid. That in itself put BOR, and all the other signatories outside True Orthodoxy and the teachings of the Holy Fathers, but that

Numerous Orthodox blogs are starting to report something that seems to have much appeal to the Orthodox world – the idea that Russia is on the verge of becoming the center of “global Christianity” – another mask behind which ecumenism hides. http://www.pravmir.com/russia-is-fated-to-become-center-of-christian-world-priest-2/ That would indeed be good news if it also meant that Russia would

How far down the way of abominations road does Roman-Catholicism have to travel before people see what is happening? “Who am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord?” said pope Francis when asked how the Catholic hierarchy should respond to clerics who are gay. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324354704578635401320888608.html?mod=rss_europe_whats_news How can the Holy Spirit

On 25 July 2013, around 23, close to the time that Father passed away, 40 days ago, Father Justin comforted us with a miracle in his Paltin Monastery cell where he spent the last three years of his life and where he passed away. Father’s memorial cell was opened for visitors as of 25 July.

We showed in a previous article why this is such a big problem, and we can see what kind of reaction it produces amongst otherwise still decent people. For example, where initially tens of thousands of mayors opposed gay

They seem to be in a rush, like trying to catch up some lost time … America: Landmark victory for gay rights activists clears the way for gay marriage Carbon tax back on the Obama’s agenda – and it will be called “ObamaAir” Australia: Kevin Rudd replaces Julia Gillard and promises expedite implementation of 2

With more evidence surfacing every day it is becoming crystal clear that we are living through the end times right now. Things are now worse than ever and there is hardly any given day that does not reveal more of the iniquity and lawlessness spoken of in the Gospel that would be revealed to the

On May 7th we celebrate the appearance of the Cross over Jerusalem in 351. We read in the Synaxarion that this was at a time when the emperor, Constantius, had Arian leanings – even though the first ecumenical council had already condemned Arianism. St Kyrill of Jerusalem write: “a huge cross made of light appeared

The truth rarely gets told in the mainstream media nowadays, but every now and then we do get some honesty. Here is what a recently published article on ABC Australia says about gay marriage: “… it would end the public legal recognition of a social reality defined in terms of the natural link between sex

“It is later that you think, hasten therefore to do the work of God” – Fr Seraphim Rose Many Orthodox Christians look to the times of the “Church of the Catacombs” as something yet to come, not understanding that that time is in fact now. This statement may be surprising to many Orthodox Christians lacking

A fragment from the book “The prison window” “That Europe does not know, and that is all her miserable fate, all the dark tragedy of its peoples. She does not know anything other than what Jews provide as the knowledge. She does not believe anything other than what Jews (read Zionism) order to her to

They certainly are not giving up and if they fail they try again, and again, and again – until they succeed. They do not care about what people want, they just keep hammering the earth away until it becomes so “red hot” that they can “mold it to their heart’s desire” as depicted in the

The following is a summary of the Synaxarion on the Sunday of Orthodoxy which can be read in full here. Emperor Leo the Isaurian, who persecuted the Orthodox Icon-veneraters mercilessly, was originally a mule-driver, or swine-herd (!), according to other sources. As he was resting from his manual work one day, three Jewish sorcerers approached

Apocalypse 12:14: “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent” The Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in

World Orthodoxy is positioning itself firmly for the final push towards unification with Rome. Orthodox “first hierarch” (a term totally foreign to True Orthodoxy) Patriarch Bartholomew and 3 other bishops announced they would attend the inauguration of the new pope Francis. It would be hard to not emphasize the significance of this event as this

“The head of Cyprus’ Orthodox Church, Archbishop Chrysostomos II, has offered to mortgage the church’s assets to get Cyprus out of its financial hole.” The Church chooses to put itself in the position where it sells it autonomy to foreign interests – a move that can be hardly explained by sound Orthodox thinking and demonstrates

What to expect when things start to roll … Dear ones in Christ, we are writing this article which we know, will probably raise a lot of eyebrows, but we feel it is something people have to be warned about … In order to be able to illustrate what we are trying to say, we
