THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK
COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
Continuing our journey in the Gospels this week, Dr. George Parsenios is back to talk about the book of Matthew, which focuses largely on issues of Jewish law. But first, when should we start teaching our kids about the Bible? Fr. John Peck gives practical examples on making scriptural learning fun for the whole family.
**********************
OCN PODCASTS
On Special Moment of Orthodoxy, join us as we listen to a sermon given by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware on St. John Climacus and Prayer, recorded live at the Annunciation Cathedral in Atlanta GA. Metropolitan Kallistos tells us that that our Prayer is the touchstone of who we are and where we are. On Theologically Thinking, enjoy a reading of one of Fr. Stanley Harakas' essays originally written for the National Herald entitled "Praying in Times of Temptation." The best way of addressing temptations is to immediately turn away from the provocation, and focus our attention on God. In short, “When tempted, pray."
