Send us a text What corners of your life are you unwilling to give up to follow our Lord Jesus Christ?

Send us a text As Christians, we are called to be generous in our forgiveness of others. Often, instead of being forgiving, we tend to be judgmental. Fr. Theophan suggests a "game" in which we intentionally practice forgiveness on a moment-to-moment basis, entrusting people into the hands of God.

Send us a text In the modern world, we are haunted by doubts, but there are basic Christian practices that can help us build our faith, such as reading the Scriptures, the lives of the saints, and having an active prayer life.

Send us a text The foundation of our faith is Christ and His Gospel. We must be careful about what we place on this foundation, which should be central to our lives.

Send us a text “To the world, the Cross is defeat. To the Christian, it is victory—not by might, but by suffering love. The Cross shows us that God saves not by force but by co-suffering and sacrifice.” (“The Orthodox Way,” p. 82) Website @ https://www.st-innocent.org Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/ Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia Help Support St. Innocent Orthodox Church @ https://onrealm.org/siocmacon/-/form/give/now
Send us a text The Gospel reveals what God has done to heal us and restore our connection with Him. The life of the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon reflects the works that Jesus accomplished and continues to accomplish.

Send us a text The Christian worldview is deeply spiritual, recognizing both the heavenly and the demonic realms. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that seek to draw us away from Christ.

Send us a text The Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles with great power, and they spread the Gospel with signs and wonders. Yet, the presence of the Holy Spirit in most Christians' lives is often subtle, and we have to want to hear His voice. #pentecost #holyspirit #orthodoxfaith #spirituality Website @ https://www.st-innocent.org Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/ Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia Help Support St. Innocent Orthodox Church @ https://onre...
Send us a text "The Creed is a confession that demonstrates our true and legitimate faith, and helps us to recognize this faith in each other. We announce whenever we recite the Creed that we follow this God, and no other, and that we are citizens of this Church, and no other. The Creed is a token of our identity. It is the criterion of Orthodoxy." Website @ https://www.st-innocent.org Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/ Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia ...
Send us a text On the Sunday of the Blindman whom Jesus healed, we contemplate the things that blind us spiritually and what is needed to recover our sight. May the Lord illumine our souls!

Send us a text On the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women, we contemplate those who literally cared for Christ's body, and how we can care for and serve the Body of Christ, as members of His Church.

Send us a text Jesus appeared to all the disciples and revealed himself as risen. Their experience, and each successive generation's experience, has been passed to us.

Send us a text It is the Triumphal Entry—not of an earthly king, but of the King of Glory. The crowds shout “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” They wave palms, symbols of victory, not yet knowing what kind of victory Christ will bring. They expect liberation from Rome—but Christ has come to liberate all humanity from sin, death, and the power of the devil. His throne will be the Cross. His crown, of thorns. His victory was won not by the sword, but by suffering love. ...

Send us a text “He who trusts himself is led astray by the enemy." “Do not trust yourself until you die.

Send us a text Many approach the Orthodox faith academically, reading, listening, and researching the Church's teachings and practices. This is fine as long as the weightier matter of prayerfulness and living faithfully is not neglected. Our priority should be to know God rather than learn things about God.
