The Triumph of Orthodoxy
Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the Triumph of Orthodoxy on the 1st Sunday of Great Lent. This feast was established in the 9th century to celebrate the Church’s victory over the heresy of iconoclasm. There have been many heretics that have tried to defeat the Orthodox Church over its 2000-year history, but as our Lord said, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).
We all place our FAITH in the AUTHORITY of something
Many people have chosen to worship at the altar of the RELIGION of Scientism. The devotees of Scientism BELIEVE that science is the supreme epistemological AUTHORITY for knowing truth.

We all place our FAITH in the AUTHORITY of something. What do you place your FAITH in?
