Today is the day of true celebration for the entire Orthodox Christian world. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has risen from the grave and has defeated death. His return proves that God is stronger than Satan and through trusting in him we can be delivered from our foes. When we ask ourselves how to move forward to achieve victory let us remember what it says in Scripture. Matthew 10:33 states that "He that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father in Heaven." The attacks upon our folk and our Fatherland is because of our denial of the Faith. The answer to this problem is clear. We must no longer whimper and cower when the enemy marches in our streets and attacks our values. We must go on the offensive to stand for Truth, for justice, and our morals. We must be without compromise in standing for what is true and just. Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you."
May God bless the Orthodox Church, the Occident, and all of his people to promote a revival of the Church Militant and our dedication to his cause. Remember to honor true Christian leaders around the world and in America may we find the next generation of men to lead our people.
