  • Ask Fr. John: Having a conversation with God

    Is there monasticism in the Orthodox Church? -  J.A.

    Part 2
    This week we continue our discussion on monasticism. There are several foundations for the monastic life, which occur in the unwritten conventions of Judaism and Christianity, as well as in the holy scriptures. History shows that there were several monastic-like Jewish sects, such as the Essenes, the Nazarenes and Ebionites. In most of them, persons distanced themselves from the world, or left it for the desert, in order to contemplate and worship God without worldly distraction.

  • Bible Answers: Having a conversation with God

    “If there was one thing God would say to me today, what would it be?” — Joy

    Often we want God to speak to us directly, offering guidance, solving problems and providing answers to the “big” questions that confront us. Actually, God does address us individually — our problem is we do not often listen very well.
    Generally, God speaks through the inspired record of His revelation of Himself to humanity — a book we call the Bible. Through a wide variety of literary styles and genre, God covers a lot of issues.
    Truth and reality, law and grace, freedom and responsibility, justice and mercy, judgment and forgiveness and holiness and purity are all encompassed within his message to us.

  • Bible Answers: Learning to 'turn the other cheek'

    “I can’t figure how to ‘turn the other cheek’ without being walked on.” — Katie

    “Turning the other cheek” is a radical departure from our “normal” response to insult. Most of us are inclined to want to slap in return.
    Why would Jesus say that the “normal” response (even if it is justified) should not only be resisted, but should be replaced with an offer of the other cheek — and why would he make this one of His important points in the “Sermon on the Mount” (Mt. 5:38-42)?
    Consider these truths:
    Anger and revenge will get you nowhere. They only incite more anger and retaliation. Better, he said, to stop the anger cycle before it goes any further.

  • Bible Answers: Defining the term, 'Christian'

    “The label is so tossed about by everyone that the definition has become muddled.  What really defines a ‘Christian’?” — Sharon

    Let’s begin with a few comments about what does not a Christian make. One is not a Christian by virtue of keeping many rules, following a particular religious tradition or adopting the appellation in order to gain respectability.  
    One is not a Christian by dint of attending church, being “against” a host of sins or by being “for” good works, social activism or broad-minded humanism.
