Is there ever a time when we should break our word or oath? How can we make even our mistakes point to Christ in a saving way, and what can we learn from Herod's evil oath-keeping?

Fr. Methodius explains what happens when Orthodox clergy take advantage of current events as a means of self-promotion. People's suffering is sometimes cheapened, and credibility is questioned.

Does a priest have grace or lack it because he is American? Do people who have a Greek priest, or Russian recieve more grace from them? The Apostles dealt with partisanship, apparently, this ugly monster doesn't stay dead long!

How can one know if he is in the Spirit? What do we say to Christians who are outside of the Church, but believe themselves to be "In the Spirit?" Listen in as we discuss these and other questions.

Saint Andrew was no casual Christian. He spoke the truth, and although what he said was known to all, when he spoke as a son of the Church, he was killed for it.

Today there is a great shortage of True Orthodox Priests. Many people couldn't care less though. Does attending church services include only attending coffee hour in the basement? It does not. This talk was given at the end of Liturgy, and before our sister parish.

As we celebrate the Synaxis of the holy Apostles, is it possible that our lives betray the work they accomplished? Are Christians called to go into all the world preaching? Or is there something else we should be doing?

With our mouths, we praise the Preeminent Apostles Peter and Paul. But with our lives, we dishonor their work. How can we honor the memory of these Saints today? What foundation did they lay for us? And how can we build upon it?

This homily combines aspects of the life of St. John with an exhortation to our community. Truth is closely associated with Love. If we forget this, we may pass on many things, without passing on the Truth!

Join me as I read a sermon written by St. John himself for the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.
