    Hello Father Spyridon. I dont know if you will read this but I'm leaving this comment hear to show appreciation for your videos and to share my experience and benefit from them. I am not yet a devout religious man but I am very much trying to explore the Bible and to communicate with God for the last year and a half and to show my appreciation for my blessings even though I dont yet fully believe. I have always been very skeptical on many things but your videos help educate me with all of these things instead of being hypocritical about the Bible like some others I have tried listening to. Thanks for your help on my search for the truth about our reality, thank you and God bless.

    Hello Father Spyridon, I am a Christian but I am pretty much a lone Christian as I’ve been bedridden for the last 4yrs with spinal issues I was born with and a badly damaged spinal cord and I live in chronic pain but i feel extremely blessed to have SO much precious time with The Lord.
    I dedicate my life to praying for others, especially the lost🙏🏼
    I’ve been struggling a lot recently as I feel a failure as I can’t actually go out and help people physically and I’m really trying to Guard my heart as I suspect it’s the spiritual wolves that are trying to bring me down whilst I am vulnerable physically and emotionally.
    God led me to your channel a few days ago and I know it was purposeful and for a reason ♥️
    From what I have watched so far I just want to say a massive thank you as you are really building me back up spiritually and confirming SO much of what God is already trying to tell me. God bless you 🙏🏼

However you inspire me with your desire to concentrate on praying for others, you have a generous and loving heart. I will copy Pedro and will pray for you too. The Orthodox church teaches that suffering in this life means less in the next, or none at all. May God bless you.

    0:08 From the writing of Elder Ephraim of Arizona
    Zeal, desire for God.
    0:43 Sheep Dog 🐶 who alerts the Sheppard of dangers. If the Sheep Dog 🐶 sleeps 😴, the Wolves 🐺 approach with confidence.
    1:53 Zeal guards us.
    When Zeal sleeps 😴 we lose our desire for God. Our soul can become attacked by wolves 🐺
    2:46 Refuse to fill our hearts with evil, from all wordlyness.
    3:18 A defiled temple is made the home of wolves 🐺 and no longer the home of God
    4:08 Let us drive out darkness from our temple.
    5:23 Guard the Purity of our Hearts.
    5:42 The Demons have Unlimited Zeal for our corruption. The Demons never rest. The Demons tempt us.
    6:32 The Memory of Death is an essential part to maintaining our zeal.
    7:04 Cultivate Zeal to protect the soul. Keep Zeal burning 🔥
    7:38 It is God’s Will that we be saved. It is only our rejection and our acceptance of evil that prevents this from happening.
    7:48 Let us, let us preserve this holy temple.
    8:34 God will be praised by those spiritually victorious here on earth.
    8:53 Quotes from Saints ☦️
    Self Opposition and Self forcing are true aspects of zeal born in the soul, forming the beginning of asceticism. Both of these comprose
    The struggle of man with himself [podvig]

Orthodox Christians depend heavily on the Saints to explain to us what the Gospels mean but also to guide us on all matters of daily life that Jesus may not have explicitely talked about in the Bible. Start reading lives of Saints and the teachings of the Orthodox Holy Fathers and I'm sure you'll find answers to all questions that you've had until this point.

    Fr Spyridon, as you are a Christian and an Englishman, I would like to ask you a question, not necessarily about the content of this video that will play soon.
    I am curious to know what your thoughts and advice is to any Christian who feels they are wrestling between secularism and Christianity during Christmas (I know it shouldn’t be a question of which one to choose), but during a time of quiet reflection, joy, laughter with family and loved ones, it’s very difficult to balance the two when around others, an example being from a very simple but too common occurrence of choosing what entertainment to watch.
    There are many people who expressed disappointment, shock and disgust with the lack of respect and sensitivity towards the Christian faith and traditional family values, from a lack of Christian iconography, to covert anti-family, anti-Christian messages in secular advertisements showing the burning of Christmas cards (MandS is one that comes to mind), but on the other hand, this really shouldn’t shock any Christian. Too many nominal Christians place their trust and even identity in secular entities to promote Christmas as nothing more than an opportunity to indulge in rampant materialism, instead a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, this should be a quiet wake up call, that being Christian in name only not enough. ☦️
    My question is, how do you balance all of this? Can there be true balance? Must we reject this completely? And are you at all surprised by the outrage over the lack of focus towards the Faith during this time of year? Sorry, this is several questions 😂

      Ask your priest - he will no doubt tell you do not attend protestant services. Focus on cleansing and refining yourself and what you give off through your struggle may inspire others thru God's will. It was told to me common the excitement of learning orthodoxy brings this feeling to bring others but can backfire as you are a baby in it. Ask your priest

      But the book 'the Orthodox church' by kallistos ware and give it to them
      Also show them the origin of the 'rapture ' teaching
      All made up and fake
      Reading unbiased history clears the air

    HOW can anyone be without sin if we have to work and earn a living in the current system, send children to evil schools, or have no children at all. I live like a hermit because by now there is NOTHING that isn't evil in our society.

    Looking for a general opinion on this. Other commenters welcome to reply.
    I live in a predominantly Muslim area. Four out of five businesses around me are Muslim owned.
    Being one of the few white people in my area, I often get looks and disproving glances whenever going into one of these businesses.
    From my time interacting with the locals, I have learned that a simple introduction of “Sala malaykum” will often go a long way, and immediately make them open to me.
    Does greeting person of a different religion with their religious introduction go against the teachings of Christ?

      I cannot definitively answer your question. However, I see it as this:
      It is a greeting. Just as you say "hello", "Guten Tag" or "Καλημέρα". Salam Aleykum is just a greeting to you. Sure, it has a religious meaning to muslims, but you do not believe in Islam. In your case, such religious meaning doesn't exist.
      This comes to the fact that it is simple respect. God said to be kind and respect others, so such a greeting is perhaps even necessary.
      Moreover, in your situation, it is even more important to build trust. Again, as long as you dont follow that religion and is simply a way of showing respect, you should be fine. God bless
