No voice is stronger than the voice of a deed. Everything that has value in life is deed. The Word is deed.

Today, I will go with you to the story of the adulterous woman whom the Scribes and Pharisees presented to Jesus, and asked Him what He would say about her (John 8:3-11). Many of us, reading the story, would stop at Jesus' response: “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone ...

Some of our friends are complaining that “our areas” are now teeming with people of other faiths. You do remember our sectarian division during the war. I know Lebanon in its details. Division does not reflect our country. Lebanon, especially its capital and its suburbs, used to include Lebanese from all over Lebanon, as well ...

I am going to tell you something I recently learned about the sixty-second Psalm (O God, my God, I rise early to be with You…). I was asked to talk to some young brethren about it. I immersed myself in pages that led me to something that is generally known, namely that this Psalm, which ...

You rarely find people who acknowledge the talents of others, with gratitude and joy.
