From September 28, 2021 - another example of the weakness of Islam. A woman from Northern Israel was strangled to death by her own son last month for converting from Islam to Orthodox Christianity. According to the indictment, the murder of 46-year-old Rasha Muklasha by her 27-year-old son Muad Hib was premeditated, with Hib arranging a meeting with her near Nazareth on August 5 with the intention of killing her and disposing of her remains, reports the Times of Israel. Muklasha left her husband and severed ties with her five children in 2006, later converting to Orthodoxy. Having learned of the death of her ex-husband, she resumed contact with her children, but they were angered by her … [Read more...]

“Constitution Does Not Confer Right to Abortion”: Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade
The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, with a 6-3 majority ruling in the Dobbs case that “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion.” “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.

We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly … [Read more...]
Trampling Down the Power of the Devil!
by St. John Chrysostom Original translation by Dr. David Ford "He who is wrestling is still held fast in the contest; but it’s enough for him that he has not fallen. The brilliant victory will not be completely gained until we depart to the next life. Consider, for instance, the case of some evil lust.

This is different from wrestling matches in the arena, where if you don’t throw over your opponent, you don’t gain the victory. But in the … [Read more...]
Why Didn’t the Holy Spirit Come Right After the Ascension?
by St. John Chrysostom But why did the Holy Spirit come to them, not while Christ was present, nor even immediately after his departure, but, whereas Christ ascended on the fortieth day, the Spirit descended “when the day of Pentecost,” that is, the fiftieth, “was fully come?”(Acts 2:1) And how was it, if the Spirit had not yet come, that He said, “Receive ye the Holy Spirit?” (John 20:22) In order to render them capable and meet for the reception of Him. For if Daniel fainted at the sight of an Angel (Dan. 8:17), much more would these when about to receive so great a grace. Either this then is to be said, or else that Christ spoke of what was to come, as if it came already; … [Read more...]
