Rejoice in The Lord

Rejoice in The Lord 

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will #rejoice in the Lord; I will take #joy in the God of my #salvation.

#Habakkuk 3: 17 - 18

On The Creed

We Consider the Orthodox Creed as the rapid summary of the Christian faith, because it tells about the theology of God the Father, the theology of God the Son and the theology of God the Holy Spirit, explaining each one in resume.

The Cross And Christianity

Christian life is practically a journey to Golgotha; and
Christianity without a cross is really not Christianity.

Benefit of The Wicked

Even in wicked people whom 

God sends your way,
there is goodness and benefit; 

for they may give you

Early and Late Rain

Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

Joel 2: 23 - 24 ESV

https://bible.com/59/jol.2.23-24.esv

The Holy Spirit is early and late rain, which draws thirsty souls.. Sprout (shoot forth) self wilderness, trees blooming fruits, fig tree and vine give more fruits.. Holy Spirit is working as early rain which settled after the Lord risen and latter rain is required for maturing young crop to turn our internal self wilderness to delightful paradise

Rest for People of God

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
