What if the God who spoke from the burning bush and the Jesus of the Gospels are revealed by one and the same saving Name? The Holy Name of God: A Biblical Perspective traces that single, unbroken revelation from the Hebrew Scriptures into the Gospel: Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God who declared "I AM WHO I AM" to Moses, and Yahshua, the Son to whom the angel said, "You shall call His name Yahshua, for He will save His people from their sins." Far from two names or two gods, Scripture presents them as one Name in two moments of revelation — the Father who reveals, and the Son in whom He is revealed. Written by a Coptic Orthodox priest with over three decades of pastoral ministry, this book combines and completes two of the author's earlier works, Yahweh: The Hebrew Name of God and Yahshua: The Hebrew Name of Jesus , into a single, unified study. Across twenty-five chapters, it walks the reader through the Tetragrammaton and its pronunciation, the Hebrew names...

The digital revolution has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life. We work remotely, attend classes online, shop without leaving our homes, and maintain friendships through screens. The Church has embraced this transformation as well. Livestreamed services, online Bible studies, digital devotionals, and virtual prayer meetings have enabled millions to hear the gospel and remain connected to their spiritual family, especially during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These technological advances are genuine blessings. They allow the sick, the elderly, travelers, and those living where no faithful church exists to participate in worship and biblical teaching in ways previously unimaginable, and they open unprecedented opportunities for evangelism and discipleship that the early Church could scarcely have dreamed of. Yet from its very beginning, the pattern God gave His people was a gathered one. Luke records that the first believers “continued steadfastly in the apost...

In every generation, new tools emerge that reshape the way humanity communicates. Some bring fear, others excitement—but the truth remains the same: technology may evolve, yet the Word of God endures forever. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the newest tools of our age. For some, it raises questions and even rejection, especially when it is mentioned in connection with sermons or Christian books. How can a preacher or teacher of the Gospel use AI without compromising the sacredness of the Word? The answer lies not in the tool itself, but in the spirit that guides its use. 1. The Word of God Remains from the Spirit of God The divine message is not generated by machines but revealed by the Holy Spirit. “All Scripture is inspired by God.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Inspiration flows from God’s Spirit to the human heart, not from algorithms or programs. The servant of the Word listens in prayer, meditates on Scripture, and receives illumination from above. AI cannot replace this sacred pr...

  بالأمس 13 أكتوبر 2025، اجتمع قادة العالم للتوقيع على خطة السلام في غزة — وهي اتفاقية تهدف إلى إنهاء الحرب في غزة واستعادة الاستقرار في المنطقة التي عانت من الصراع والألم طويلا. وبصفتنا مؤمنين بالمسيح، يجب أن ننظر إلى مثل هذه الخطوات بعين الامتنان والصلاة، فكل جهدٍ صادقٍ لإنهاء سفك الدماء وشفاء جراح البشرية هو أمرٌ محمود، لأن ربنا يسوع نفسه قال : "طوبى لصانعي السلام لأنهم يُدعون أبناء الله." — متى 9:5 وبينما نتمدح هذه الجهود، نفرح كلما مالت قلوب القادة نحو السلام. ومع ذلك، فبينما قد تجلب الاتفاقات السياسية هدوءًا مؤقتًا، تذكّرنا الكتب المقدسة بأن السلام الحقيقي والدائم لا يُوجد إلا في يسوع المسيح، رئيس السلام، الذي يصالح البشرية مع الله ومع بعضها البعض . ١- المسيح سلامنا يكتب الرسول بولس قائلاً :  "لأنَّه هو سلامُنا، الذي جعل الاثنين واحدًا، ونقض حائط السياج المتوسط... لكي يصالح الاثنين في جسدٍ واحدٍ مع الله بالصليب." — أفسس 14:2–١٦ السلام الحقيقي ليس مجرد غياب الحرب، بل هو حضور المصالحة — المصالحة مع الله، ومن ثم مع بعضنا البعض . على الصليب، وفي ش...

Today, world leaders gathered to sign the Gaza Peace Plan —an agreement aimed at ending the war in Gaza and restoring stability in a region long marked by conflict and pain. As Christians, we must view such steps with gratitude and prayer. Any genuine effort to end bloodshed and to heal human suffering is commendable, for our Lord Himself declared: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” — Matthew 5:9 (LSB) As we commend such efforts, we rejoice whenever the hearts of leaders incline toward peace. Yet, while political accords may bring temporary calm, Scripture reminds us that lasting and eternal peace can only be found in Jesus Christ—the Prince of Peace—who reconciles humanity to God and to one another. 1. Christ Our Peace The Apostle Paul writes: “For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups one and broke down the dividing wall of hostility… that He might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.” — Ephesians 2:14-16 ...
