Larger than the Heavens
When the Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush and sent him to Pharaoh to deliver the people of Israel from the land of servitude, He said to him “I have surely seen the oppression of My people and have heard their cry. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:7-8). The land of Canaan is geographically small, not as large as the land of Egypt. It is only 30 miles wide, limited by the Dead Sea and the Jordan River from the East and the Mediterranean Sea from the West. Therefore, it is clear that God means something other than the large land because the people of Israel were choked and oppressed in the land of Egypt despite its large size.
The Birth of the King of kings
When we hear about the birth of a king or an heir of a king it occurs to us how much attention this heir will get from people and how much honor and glory will envelop this important event. However the events of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, are rather mystifying!
Miracles
I received this important question and I am glad to discuss it in this article:
Pope Tawadors, the Gift of God

In the previous article, we explained that our saintly Fathers recognized the importance of carrying the cross in their lives and accepting suffering in patience. They recognized how the cross is important to their spiritual growth and in protecting them from the serious disease of pride. Therefore, they endured suffering with thanksgiving and used it for their edification.

We will stay on the topic of spiritual diseases and the appropriate remedies to treat them:
Spiritual Remedies (2)
In the previous article, we talked about the loving God the true physician. He is able to heal all our spiritual and psychological diseases with His effective medicine, delicate care for us, His life giving words, and the work of His Holy Spirit within us.
God is Trinity (2)
God revealed himself in the Holy Scriptures as being one in three. Let’s see some examples:
God is Trinity (1)
The Trinity is not a philosophical concept or a mere religious theory about God, but it is a fact revealed by God himself to mankind in the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, He commanded that anyone who wants to join the divine family and become one of the children of God, he must be baptized and borne again at the name of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
