Ignored by God

February 8, 2022February 8, 2022 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

Real love for God is when we can begin to pray without expectations, without conditions that we lay down for God, willing to accept whatever God is going to give us. A true child of God will fall down at the Master’s feet and say, “Lord, help me.” It doesn’t matter what then happens.

The City Which is to Come

January 31, 2022 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

We don’t get caught up in the endless controversies and pursuits of this world. Let such dead ways of living bury themselves, because death is their aim. Here we have no lasting city. We seek the City which is to come.

Not By Heroism, Lest Anyone Should Boast

December 1, 2021December 3, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

Pagans did get some things right. Salvation does mean rescue from Hades, and it does mean being seated together with the Most High God. But they were wrong when they thought you could get it by impressing the gods.

Angels are the Original Saints

November 21, 2021November 19, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

Asceticism, Suffering and the Justice of God

November 1, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

Faithfulness to justice, to righteousness, is what it means to be Christian and what is required to stay within the kingdom of God, both in this life and into the age to come.

The Ethic of the Sons of God

October 4, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

To be the sons of God, we do the works of the Father in heaven. If we instead do the works of the devil—which are sin—then he is our father instead. And if we do the works of the Father, then we become equal to the angels, the original “sons of God” who do His works.

Evangelism and Death by Holiness

September 27, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

Having been given this outpost of Paradise, this place where God’s holiness may be encountered with preparation, where the cherubim with the flaming sword welcome us in instead of turning us away, we are commanded to expand this Paradise into the world.

Exorcism, Faithfulness, Prayer and Fasting

April 12, 2021April 12, 2021 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

The targeted demonic attacks we experience especially in this holy season are real, and we can spot them because of how they are so specifically designed to pull us away from participating in it. But these things do indeed come out by prayer and fasting.
