Can ANYTHING Be Worship? Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick 2024-05-13 | In the ancient world, people knew what to do to worship their gods. How did this become such a chaotic issue in the modern world?So, what is worship -- really? What is the actual *act* of worship? It seems like "worship" these days means "doing religious-looking or -sounding things towards a deity," but what does worship actually look like in the ancient world of the Bible?Is prayer and praise worship? How does pagan worship compare with Israelite and Christian worship? Is how we worship a matter of personal preference?[NB: I misspoke at one point and said "Micah 1:11" when I meant to say "Malachi 1:11": "For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts."]--QUESTIONS ABOUT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY / HELP FINDING A PARISH: orthodoxintro.orgMORE INFO ON ME: http://andrewstephendamick.com MY BOOKS: store.ancientfaith.com/fr-andrew-stephen-damickBOOK ME FOR YOUR EVENT: See email in channel description.SUPPORT: ancientfaith.com/supportIf you would like to support the work that I do, you can make a tax-deductible donation to Ancient Faith Ministries.

Why is Orthodox Worship so Fancy? Fr.

They say that Jesus came to do away with all that ornateness.But do those criticisms actually align with the Bible? With the early Church?

Orthodox Substitutes for the Gospel? Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick 2024-05-20 | All Christians do it -- when we're trying to get people to become part of our church, we substitute things for the gospel, because we think it will work better. They're often good things, but they're not the gospel.The question is not what "works" to get people to become Orthodox Christians. The question is what is *right* in encouraging them to convert to Jesus Christ.So, here are some things that Orthodox Christians in the English-speaking world tend to substitute for the gospel when doing evangelism, and here's what we should be saying instead.In this video, I mention:This earlier video: youtu.be/wyqm5dhvNhkMy book "Arise, O God": store.ancientfaith.com/arise-o-god--QUESTIONS ABOUT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY / HELP FINDING A PARISH: orthodoxintro.orgMORE INFO ON ME: http://andrewstephendamick.com MY BOOKS: store.ancientfaith.com/fr-andrew-stephen-damickBOOK ME FOR YOUR EVENT: See email in channel description.SUPPORT: ancientfaith.com/supportIf you would like to support the work that I do, you can make a tax-deductible donation to Ancient Faith Ministries.
