Hi Everyone, I am happy to say I am officially back in the Orthodox Church. I did my lifetime confession last week and also had my first communion in many years Wednesday night. After not having communion for several decades, I had it twice in one week which is amazing. My wife is going to...

Hi Everyone. Do you think Christian Forums is shrinking? I don’t do too much online Orthodoxy but I think there is a lot of stuff on Reddit. There is lot of rubbish there to which is why I don’t use it much. ‘Any thoughts? I am sitting in an airport now waiting for a delayed plane…...

Hi Everyone, I visited an Orthodox Church for the first time in many years. I was born cradle Orthodox but didn't really get my arms around the faith primarily due to family instability. My original thread was from 2007. http://www.christianforums.com/t4831670/ I took my son to Pascha at an...

I'm having financial stress. In particular I'm having a hard time turning my thoughts off and giving the problem to God. My business is down about 33% and I just got married and bought a house. That's a real bad combo. Pray for us. Our new marriage doesn't need the "tightrope" right off the...

Hi Everybody, My girlfriend is giving me some heavy pressure to get married. I love her and think she has a good heart. It's a complicated situation because we have three kids (my son and her two kids). We were dabbling with the idea of buying a house. We're not really qualified. We saw a...

What are you guys listening to?? I've been listening to a Christian rock band lately called SKILLET. The songs I like are as follows: 1. Better than drugs 2. Falling Into Black 3. Rebirthing The guys got a pretty good testimony and the band rocks pretty hard. I'm finding I can...

My ex-wife's alcoholism is getting bad again. Today I had a long conversation with my step daughter. She said that a drunk boyfriend is making the homelife bad. This makes me nervous and uncertain for my son. I have my son 65% of the time and recently had our custody agreement revised to...

I had some major job challenges and job insecurity. God flat out answered my prayer and my job is secure for now. I didn't pray specifically to keep my job but rather, I prayed for God's will in the situation. I'm not afraid to look for a job but am glad I don't have to. All in all, God has...

Hello friends, I found out today that my ex-wife and mother of my son is drinking again. She has a long history with alcohol problems. Her last bottom 6 months ago was pretty thorough. She lost a home, car, job, and relationship. Somehow, amazingly, she has decided to spin the wheel again in...

What do you think about Christian Meditation? Some people are for it and some people are against it. Psalm 46:10 - Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Roman Catholics have the Rosary. The Orthodox have the Jesus Prayer...

Hello All, I've hesitated to post in the Orthodox section because I haven't been a practicing member of the faith. I have been a practicing Christian though for about three years. I apologize in advance for the long post. My last confession with an Orthodox priest was when I was 14. This...

:thumbsup: Hi, I'm a newbie here. I like the forum a lot and really have only scratched the surface. I think you can get lost here with all the different areas to post. My prayer request is simple: I need the Lord's help either with my current job or in finding a new one. I'm in a sales...

Hi! My name is Chris. I'm new to the board. I've been an active Christian about 3 years, though I was Christian during earlier parts of my life but I fell away. I think a big mistake I made when I was younger was that I tried to walk alone. I thought I could be a "go it alone" Christian. The...
