Some people read books in order to find God. Yet there is a great book the very appearance of created things. Look above you look below you! Note it read it! God whom you wish to find never wrote that book with ink. Instead He set before your eyes the things that He made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that? Why heaven and earth cry out to you God made me St. Augustine #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #books #infinite #allknowing

Contemplations
One might say that the whole body receives increase as each member partakes of the distribution of gifts proportionally. In this way the members receiving the distribution in accordance with their own capacities are thus increased. The Spirit flowing abundantly from above comes into contact with all the limbs and distributes according to the ability of each one to receive thus enabling bodily growth. .

One might say that the whole body receives increase as each member partakes of the distribution of gifts proportionally. In this way … the members, receiving the distribution in accordance with their own capacities, are thus increased. The Spirit, flowing abundantly from above, comes into contact with all the limbs and distributes according to the ability of each one to receive, thus “enabling bodily growth.” . ~ St. John Chrysostom #joinedandknit #bodilygrowth #onebody #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Faith without works is dead and works without faith are dead also. For if we have sound doctrine but fail in living the doctrine is of no use to us. Likewise if we take pains with life but are careless about doctrine that will not be any good to us either. It is therefore necessary to shore up the spiritual edifice in both directions. St. John Chrysostom #faithandworks #salvation #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
