To have any hope of understanding WHAT you are, you must first understand that you are MORE than the “biomedical profile of man” can explain.  According to this profile, I AM a body controlled by my genetic program and my chemical-machine brain, which is the source of my consciousness.  The energies that animate my presence…

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And there is a second like it:  Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:40) In society we are accustomed to separating male and female. But “in” the “Mystical Body…

“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, taken by a woman and put into three measures of flour until the whole lot had risen.”  (Matthew 13:33).  The profane “Prosperity Theology” of the Christian-Satanists “misses the mark” by 180 degrees:  Christian spiritual well being is still possible in Russian society because of the persistence of “sobornost.” …

“You cannot serve two masters, you cannot serve God and the power of money.” (Matthew 6:24).  The greatest service that any one person or group could provide for Satan in the context of the American electoral circus would be this:  To convince American sinners struggling to be Christian (about 60% according to self-characterization) that the…

“My grace is enough for you: for where there is weakness, my power is shown the more completely.” (2 Cor. 12:9) The recovery of the Russian Orthodox Church from the Communists’ long-lived effort to minimize it is a remarkable and inspiring testament to the invincible power of Christ.  But it must be understood that this…

“Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within.” (Romans 12:2) The need for the Peace of Christ, which is not of this world, is pressing.  The hour is late. Sinners struggling to be Christian in the USA should work hard now to be IN the “Super-American” but not OF it.  Pursue…

Having tried briefly to live in the USA after 20 years in Denmark, I eventually concluded that to worship in “spirit and in reality” there, to sincerely work to “love thy neighbor as thyself” one must maintain an extraordinary effort to “swim upstream.”  To “go with the flow” within that Satanic context is to become…

From the Russian Orthodox perspective, the very concept of “individualism,” the fundamental principle of American society, can only truly be reconciled with Christianity to the extent that it refers to “individuals” living in “trinitarian communion” with their neighbors.  It is one thing to say “love thy neighbor as thyself” but quite another to actually do…

The corresponding “point of inflection” in Russia occurred 5 years after the election of Ronald Reagan, in 1985.  The rise to power of Mikhail Gorbachev marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.  Ironically, notwithstanding the rabid atheism of its communist rulers, the Soviet Union actually preserved Christian principles in “economy.”   (1)…

America! America!May God thy gold refine,Till all success be nobleness,And every gain divine!– “America the beautiful,” K. L. Bates (1911) The threat of global war arising at this moment in history presents American sinners struggling to be Christian, as individuals, with an urgent need to critically scrutinize the political-economic context in which their struggle for…
