I. -Pachnem of what the priest Yuri, that the idea of this conversation came to me after one of your sermons in our parish, in which you talked about the foundation of the Christian faith. I thought those are said to lie on the heart, and here we are with you talking to the readers of "Our faith," about the same - about the foundation of the Christian faith.
It is clear that if the builder will not have the beginning of a strong, solid foundation, then the house that he is building, may sooner or later collapse. And the reason for this disaster will not be natural disasters or attack a certain enemy, but the main reason is that he, poor fellow, did not care at the time securely oz mall arrange the foundation oz mall of the house. The man who set foot on the path of faith and began to make sure or not steps along the way, of course, would not want to be in the role of such a nondescript builder. So what should be the foundation of faith, to "our house" principles?
The foundation of our faith must be our own search for truth, freedom, God. There is a reason that at a certain stage of life, we instill these desires oz mall searches, but later they have become ours. They need to get used to us. These desires can not be left searching for the will of his father, the advice of teachers and friends, calling environment. They must become ours. This is the first.
Second. Consider oz mall that, at least for me, the foundation of faith is the search itself is a question that plagues us, pushes ahead and does not allow to settle down. You need to have questions and do not rush to replace them with the answers. Questions are born in our very life, of the world. God through our issues trying to impose a dialogue with us. Therefore, the issues oz mall that arise, we have such interesting, complex and deep. In turn, it would be a big mistake and a good deep question to replace the bad and superficial answer. Better to live with a good question than a bad answer. Unfortunately, people are afraid to live with the issues, as it is often mistaken for weakness and imperfection, for failing to build their lives. Why so often we change his question and grabs for the answer. However, Christ tells us that the one who is looking for be sure to find. On all the time. You need to have patience. At some of our questions we will find the answer just standing in front of the Lord face to face. He will see that the whole bag of issues with which we come to Him. Sometimes even the wisest and sweetest oz mall people we know, a variety of institutions and the church oz mall taken unable to calm our aspiration here on earth. Who is looking for but really not in a hurry to exchange questions on the surface of human responses, he finds the rule of heaven. oz mall It seems not so little. In short the foundation of faith should be an open question. Man - the question. The answer is - God. This formula of faith, not peraminae.
- With a bag of questions - to eternity, to the Lord God? We were taught as a child is indeed a bit different: that we must come to Him, the very least, with fur good deeds. But I think your fur does not object to, the other. How many of them we have then? Or only two? Would be enough to hand ...
Yes, life is really like something does not go out to get all the questions answered. And if you know that before. as your question will appear on your lips, he already has the answer, but he is not rushing him to give you, then, I confess, it is creepy, then immediately feel his insignificance, weakness, praminalnasts. And the mood then, as in the Psalmist: "... (our days) expire quickly, we fly away." Fly away, and did not get an answer.
Can be broken, alas. Just remember that God is a bruised reed he not break, and a smoldering wick will not extinguish. God is a broken and bruised heart despises, and thirsty and looking for the truth belongs to the kingdom of God. The Word of God we so often comforting and padbadёryvae in this regard. oz mall If we are on the way of searching, I do not think we will lose faith. oz mall Lose most of our previous understanding of certain things, gold frame, in which the citizens of God and thus it is limited to the boundaries of our charity, kindness and wisdom. God - it is always a deeper, wider, richer. Or Christ, a giant of faith, says that it is enough to have faith as a mustard seed. Faith can be a small, but let it be faith in a great God. The real problems arise when people have great faith in God a little. Then born human trials as a man thinks that he knows where the truth. King David said, it's better but fall under the judgment of God than human. Wise was King David.
We're all the time act as such Christians. Not those who say Lord, Lord, are entering oz mall a new life, but those who do the will of the Father. Spirit of Christ lives in the man to do good, who love, who hates evil. It's very simple. I remember a few years ago with my brother and another friend,
