I was married at 23 and regret it. I should have been married at 18. Made this amazing woman wait too long to have a husband. 20 years of growing & maturing together while raising a family is irreplaceable.
Hot take:
Don’t fall in love from 22-29, there’s to much to lose.
Your career will thank you.

How to become a Good Orthodox Christian
1. Attend Liturgy every Sunday (and be on time standing attentively ready for the priest to proclaim: “Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit…”).
2. Go to Confession and Communion regularly.

A young man approached the priest and said:

- Why not? The young man answered:
- I saw one parishioner talking badly to another and how some present were looking at their phones during the service. The priest said:

I pray for his health and love his courage but I have had people in my church contact me about him wondering if he is Orthodox and a good source of faith. He is quite good at social media and in the front of many people so what I say must me clear for those that may be confused.

Most-glorious, ever-virgin, blessed Theotokos, present our prayer to thy Son and our God, and plead with Him, that through thee He may save our souls.

Men, you don’t want this! You need to find traditional Christianity in The Orthodox Church, not some Trendy pop faith. Where true masculinity is normal.
Get a job & work hard, get married have a family, find a hobby that challenges you physically.

There is no winning on this ideological platform. I praise somebody for their courage and faith with the caveat that he is controversial. Without the caveat, I would get slandered as some uninformed priest. When I attempt a factual but charitable caveat some still accuse me of

Isreal is a group of believers (Orthodoxy) not a modern nation state. Dispensational “biblical” theology is a dangerous wacko innovative heresy.

The Bible never teaches us to pray to Mary. One cannot find any verses that encourage us to pray to Mary. There are no verses that say anyone prayed to Mary. But we do find Yeshua encouraging us to pray to God the Father in Matthew 6:9-15. The Lord’s Prayer is found in this
