Как совместить «здоровую самооценку», которая, по определению психологов, должна быть «выше средней», с необходимым для спасения смирением? И нужно ли пытаться это совмещать?

Слухи по поселку ходили, что глаз у Егоровны тяжелый, что она «что-то знает и что-то умеет». Поэтому лучше с ней не связываться, иначе неприятности обеспечены.

Его жизненный путь, пролегавший через десятилетия трагического ХХ века, подвижничество, богословские воззрения, примеры предстательства пред Господом составляют содержание этой книги.

“This diabolic revolution is developing by degrees. The old generation which still considered same-sex unions unnatural will go, and the new generation will accept all this as something natural. The value system, based on the Christian truths, is, alas, completely disappearing."

“Sliding into ecumenism is becoming more dangerous. Now there are attempts to abrogate the Holy Canons.

A new “bomb” was recently exploded by heresiarch of the Vatican, Pope Francis I, who suggested to establish a common date for celebrating Easter by all Christians: Orthodox and heretics.

The Kingdom, the power, and the glory all bespeak God’s purifying, illumining, and deifying grace that can completely transform the children of Adam into children of light. They are His, indeed. But we also knows that He desires that they be ours. For from Christ’s own lips, we hear about the “kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34).
