As Christians, we are called to be generous in our forgiveness of others. Often, instead of being forgiving, we tend to be judgmental. Fr. Theophan suggests a "game" in which we intentionally practice forgiveness on a moment-to-moment basis, entrusting people into the hands of God.

The foundation of our faith is Christ and His Gospel. We must be careful about what we place on this foundation, which should be central to our lives.

“To the world, the Cross is defeat. To the Christian, it is victory—not by might, but by suffering love. The Cross shows us that God saves not by force but by co-suffering and sacrifice.” (“The Orthodox Way,” p. 82)

The Christian worldview is deeply spiritual, recognizing both the heavenly and the demonic realms. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that seek to draw us away from Christ.

The Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles with great power, and they spread the Gospel with signs and wonders. Yet, the presence of the Holy Spirit in most Christians' lives is often subtle, and we have to want to hear His voice.

"The Creed is a confession that demonstrates our true and legitimate faith, and helps us to recognize this faith in each other. We announce whenever we recite the Creed that we follow this God, and no other, and that we are citizens of this Church, and no other. The Creed is a token of our identity. It is the criterion of Orthodoxy."
