Humanity has always longed to see God—but in Christ, the invisible becomes visible. This Theophany, we celebrate the revelation of the Father through the Son. No longer bound by fear, we live as His children, sharing His light in a world longing for His grace. #FeastOfEpiphany

The passions enslave the soul, clouding it with desires that promise freedom but only deliver chains. True liberation comes in Christ, where the heart finds peace and the will aligns with divine love. #OrthodoxSpirituality #Orthodoxy #Passions #Christ #CopticOrthodoxy

Just saw this flying over the church in Monroe Township—it looked like a plane but was flying really low. The iPhone video doesn’t capture how intense it was. A second one flew by just two minutes later, but it was too fast to catch on camera. #DronesOverNJ

Begin to memorialize specific acts of God’s faithfulness in your life by #journaling about what He has done, so that when you experience the difficult days which ARE COMING you may remember what He has brought you through.

Attempt to always speak in such a way that is respectful to others, while having the integrity to declare the Truth even if it offends them. #SpeakTheTruthInLove

You can read countless Bible verses and stories about serving but won’t get it until you begin serving others!

In the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly says "Follow Me." 13 unique times the Lord uses these words to call others to Him. How we respond to those two simple words of desire for intimacy and friendship can completely transform our lives, as we draw closer to the Shepherd.
