A COUNTERFEIT SPIRITUALITY

In order to grow in our spiritual lives we must move beyond an infantile spirituality.

This is probably my biggest problem. I seek to avoid suffering and in my avoidance, I fall into sin. Thank you for this lesson, Brother Spyridon.

Its really amazing where God has led me. I lived most of my life in the world of "whats in it for me Christianity." The churches i attended were always about seeking signs and wonders. The idea that we all had supernatural gifts that we could wield like harry potter characters. And here i am now, embracing a teaching of accepting hardships, expecting nothing from God in return for our worship, etc. My old church told me that if I had enough faith, God would bless me with worldy riches and an easy life. My new church tells me that when i grow closer to God, i will suffer. And for some reason, i have comfort in that. It is truly humbling.

Fr. Spyridon is the only, truly good thing on YouTube. Thank God for this man, this true priest.

My only goal is to make it to the grave with nothing but Love for God in my Heart.

father, I am looking forward to your teaching, currently suffering due to my past sins. I've repented but struggling with the day to day of life. But I never forgot to say Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner

[antonkirani]

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you for your words Father.

[gemschaeffer]

Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner...Amen

Please pray for me and my family! I'm a Protestant inquirer who now wants to become Orthodox. My grandmother however isn't on the same page. God bless you all and thank you Father for helping lead me to the fullness of the truth ☦️

Edit, 6 months later: I was made a catechumen on Pascha and my grandmother is now doing the inquirer classes before she is made a catechumen. Glory be to God! 💗 Thank you for your prayers!

Father, your words move my heart. How far I am from salvation, how much my sins obscure my view. Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner! Father, be blessed! 🙏☦️

Bless you for the role you play in people's life Father Spyridon, your words of truth are like a guiding light in a world of deception.

God help me to accept the loss of my worldly life for life in the world to come, I am falling short.

Someone once said reading the Bible is like a mirror to our sins. By that definition, we must be transformed in the likeness of Christ. What a beautiful message Fr. Spyridon.

[ianvanderpoel]

Attended my first orthodox service today and encourage anyone to do the same if you haben’t done it yet. Coming from a protestant background it was quite scary but Pray to God and he Will help.

[GimbalLocksOnly]

Sometime a year or two ago for some reason I found myself listening to Fr. Spyridon. I was chrismated last sunday. Thank you Fr. God bless you.

[lukelucas]

Thank you. Love to all my Orthodox brothers and sisters around the world.

[praiseyeshua]

Pray for me. I feel like ever since I made my first steps to become Orthodox that I have been getting spiritually attacked.

[KekYTog]

Ooooo boy I am ready GLORY TO THE FATHER AND TO THE SON AND TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOW AND FOREVER AND UNTO THE AGES OF AGES AMIN ☦️

My mother has stage 4 bowel cancer and the medical professionals say she may not have long to live. I ask if you could please pray for my mother Anna who has recently found orthodox faith through my brother and the holy spirt. Thank you Father Spyridon
