After The Fall, Adam and the woman's instinct for self-preservation resulted in them taking and making clothing from fig leaves.

According to the Genesis 3 account of the fall of Man, the first and most immediate result of Adam and Eve’s consumption of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was the realization that they were naked.

32: The Law Written on Hearts of Flesh 11:25

1y ago11:25

11:25

The law written by the hand of God on stone tablets represents the law’s inability to enliven the dead, for when Moses descended the mountain, the people had already created the golden calf. Therefore, the tablets were remade and Moses wrote on the stone tablets. But Christ, who fulfilled the law and took His life back up again, now writes the law …

This episode focuses on sharing the afflictions of Christ through bearing our own cross. Sacrifice was established as soon as mankind was expelled from paradise where Adam and Eve did not sacrifice their own will, but instead took the fruit for themselves. Love in sacrifice and sacrifice in love are the cornerstones of true Life. Without love, sacr…

Like the wooden horse given to the city of Troy, the Cross of Jesus Christ is not at all what it seems.

Your life, beloved, is a war and temptation precipitates each battle. Saint Theophan the Recluse said it this way: “The arena, the field of battle, the site where the fight actually takes place is our own heart and all our inner man. The time of battle is our whole life.” St. James tells us that every man is tempted from within, being lured away by…

In its ancient understanding, technology (“techne” in Greek) is a form of spiritual knowledge and skill granted to humans by the divine for their empowerment. Although we tend to think of technology as its physical application, it universally originates from the spiritual realm. Therefore, the use of technology doesn’t just have physical repercussi…

A simple life is not about depriving ourselves of earthly joy, comfort, or material possessions. Rather, it is a deliberate choice to reorient our lives toward what truly matters. Simplifying our lives allows us to shed that which weighs us to this Earth, while at the same time knowing that: "The spiritual life does not remove us from the world, bu…

Christ reconciled the entire human race through his death, burial, and resurrection, and, like Adam, provided both a body and the blood necessary for His bride, the Church.

Humility is the preeminent Christian virtue. It is a disposition of the heart and mind, which recognizes one’s true self and one’s complete dependence on God. According to St. Isaac the Syrian, “The sum of all virtues is humility. By it, the soul is made like God." In this episode, we will briefly explore ‘humility’ from an Orthodox perspective, an…

We are terrestrial beings, being made from Earth. Therefore we have physical bodies, but we are enlivened with God-breathed souls. Therefore, mankind is made from a unique combination of earth and spirit. We have physical bodies, but we are not primarily earthen. While there is no official Orthodox dogma on the subject, Sts. John of Damascus and Gr…

St. Gregory Palamas teaches that “[God] is not revealed in his essence (ousia), for no one has ever seen or described God's nature; but he is revealed in the grace (charis), power (dynamis) and energy (energeia) which is common to Father, Son and Spirit … Distinctive to each of the three is the person (hypostasis) of each… Shared in common by all t…

9:28

Pride was the first sin to enter the world through man. Adam and the woman desired to “be like God,” and consumed, without a blessing, the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. St. James tells us, God is neither tempted nor does He tempt, but “each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has…

Psalms 103:2 describes God as one: “Who cover[s] [Himself] with light as with a garment…”God’s first creation was light. Genesis 1:3 But it is not until verse 14 that God creates the heavenly bodies in the firmament that give off light. There was light before there were lights.This makes sense.
