  • The Purpose Driven Life- It's an amazing book that really inspires you to change the way you look at you're everyday relationship with Christ and others.
  • It was only some years ago that  many people had arranged marriages. Some even married people they had never even met before. I'm not encouraging this method of relationships, but some of those relationships worked out very well and they weren't bas…
  • Thank you mabsoota for your great advice and prayers  :)
  • Please remember my name on the altar. I'm going through a very difficult time spiritually and socially. I have begun to stray from God and I am afraid of my behavior lately. Please...I really need to come back to Him.
  • http://parkerspitzer.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/01/tonight-radical-muslim-clerics-take-on-egypt/ Please watch the above link. One of the radical muslim leaders in Europe talks truthfully about what he hopes/predicts will occur in Egypt with the brotherh…
  • Can anyone give more details or direct me to a source which has more info? Any news articles or confirmations would be appreciated
  • I agree 100% that the translation doesn't work. But that's true of alot of things in our church which has been translated from Arabic. Either it's poorly translated with bad grammar, or doesn't fit into the original melody, or doesn't make sense wha…
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=10190.msg125622#msg125622 date=1293576970] [quote author=ophadece link=topic=10190.msg125093#msg125093 date=1292962269] Very true jydeacon, Orthodox teachings don't agree with what's mentioned in those melodies foll…
  • oh wow!! I haven't been on here in a while and I just saw this....sorry this is kinda late, but I did very well thanks to your prayers. I'm waiting to hear back from dental schools, so if you wouldn't mind a few more prayers here and there, I would …
  • I'm sure someone else can give you a much better answer than mine, but I can give a quick response until someone else contributes. In Matthew, Jesus is talking about the only exception for divorce in the church, which is adultery. However, if it so …
  • Looooove this. Thank you for sharing it!
  • rabena ma3ak. You're in my prayers. I've seen friends go through similar situations and I know you're not having an easy time...just try to have faith that God will do what is best and that he loves you and wants you to be happy. I'm sure you'll loo…
  • Haha... It was actually the DAT. lol you guys were close. Thanks everyone for your prayers. It's outta my hands now and all up to Him ;-)
  • I don't know about charismatic movements, but I don't see the harm in having a youtube channel for coptics. We can have hymns, songs, sermons in english and arabic, and just youth targeted material that is readily available for everyone (coptic and …
  • I've had a lot of conversations with the youth in my church: the preteens, young adults, and even older youth who are in their 20's and 30's....they all have a common issue. Dating and loneliness. I'm not saying this is the only issue facing youth, …
  • I think this is the one you're talking about:
  • they use the mountain example in the article, so I'm going to stick with it. A "mountain too heavy to lift"? too heavy for whom? if its by our standards and definitions, then yes its too heavy for us, but for the creator, nothing is "too difficult,…
  • any suggestions would be appreciated...
  • I love Pope Shenouda and without any disrespect to him, why is this considered a miracle? it is a dove that landed on his desk?!? We need to be careful about what we consider is a miracle and what is an occurance. I think sometimes we get miracle-ha…
  • I asked abouna about this a while ago and he said that the 9 hours are a minimum. For example, when you have to take communion at night. Otherwise, we should fast starting at midnight if we are about to take commuion in the morning. Our church has t…
  • Hi Marmoura99, I sent you an email with a few files of the taraneem you wanted. I have a yahoo email address.
  • No problem! I enjoy doing things like this so I feel like I should be the one thanking you.lol
  • Hi abanoub2000 here's the translation. i had a problem with this tarneema though because there are slight variations in a few translations of it (a couple words were different here and there). so i tried to use the same one that was used in that vid…
  • i can try to get it to you by tomorrow if you'll wait for me. once my exam is over, i'll have time to write it  ;) here's a video for the tarneema http://www.ava-takla.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4865
  • sodr2, you're flash is funny/creative. i like it.lol
  • mabsoota, wow that song must've made such an impression on you. i wish there was a way to learn the music that went with the words so I can teach it to my kids thanks for sharing it though
  • Thank you, that was exactly what I needed. I'm going to use your idea about prayer moving mountains and show a clip from the movie about St.Simon the Shoemaker and the Mokatem mountain moving. thanks for the inspiration!!!
  • all i know about candles is that when we place two of them-one on each side- during reading the gospel, they symbolize angels standing by God the Word (Christ Himself) I think it has to do with the angels by Christ's tomb Sorry I couldn't be of mo…
  • the story goes: anba Makar's soul was carried by the angels to paradise, and the devil saw him as he was being lifted up..so the devil says "you have beat me Makar", and out of anba Makar's humblness and humility he tells the devil "I have not made …
