THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK
COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
What counts as an affair? Dr. Rossi is back with a frank discussion on the sanctity of relationships blessed by God, the temptations that face all couples and the remedies to thwart these snares. We’ll also continue our walk through the Gospels with Dr. George Parsenios, this time looking at the Gospel of Luke - the only one that includes the parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan.
