    • Let Love Be Without Dissimulation
      A Reason For All The Rules
      Romans 12-6-14
      2012-07-14
      SYNOPSIS:St Paul can be hard to read because his theology is so dense. There is a common pattern to his writings however; he presents his theological arguments, and then proceeds to tell us the "rules". We are in a non-dogmatic age, where there is only one rule - one cannot believe, much less proclaim that there are rules! the Christian life is not this way! Our rules are based on our theology, and are summarized by love. In this selection, St Paul gives a lot of rules, and they are summed up by his admonition: "Let love be without dissimulation." He gives us a reason for following moral rules just preceding this selection: " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.".

    • Grace,mercy, do's & dont's, and becoming vessels of grace. (mp3 format)
    • Romans 12:6-14
      2017-07-16
      SYNOPSIS:Christianity is to live in a moral way. It is not dogmas or principles in the abstract. It is very practical. We talk about do's and don’ts, legalism, grace and mercy, and making ourselves vessels of grace, and a line by line exegesis of Paul's "do's". Since this is during the 40 days for my son +Daniel (https://www.orthodox.net//daniel), there are also very personal examples of how God visits with grace, but we must react to this grace.
    • How do we give with simplicity, and love without hypocrisy? The Apostle Paul and the parable about the two debtors explains. (mp3 format)
    • Romans 16:6-14 Luke 7:36-50
      2018-07-08
      SYNOPSIS:The parable (two men owed a debt to their Lord, one 500, and another 50, and he was gracious to both) told by Jesus to explain the simple love and devotion of the sinful woman who anointed His feet helps explain how we can give with simplicity, show mercy with cheerfulness, and love without hypocrisy, all of which are commands of the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:6-14. There is another "technique" given by the Apostle, to help us to fulfil his commands: put spiritual things first, especially prayer.
