3. Is that St Peter and St John by his side?

4. Father Spyridon, you sir have truly become my on line spiritual teacher, consultant and father; and for that, I'm truly grateful to the lord. God love you.

5. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You videos have given me such a clear and heartfelt way to really grasp the overall teachings of our orthodox faith. I constantly resort to your videos much the same as one would a valuable personal library for constant guidance and spiritual motivation. I'm grateful to God that I found your videos on the internet. God bless you Father Spyidon along with all who subscribe to your videos

6. You are getting close to the top of the rankings. For the keyword: 'in the world but not of the world' you currently rank #3. You are almost there.

7. God is.
   Thank you for sharing this.
   ❤️✌️❤️

8. Thank you Father

9. Excellent sermon. Thank you.

10. I am a convert to the OO Church (from atheism) but I find encouragement in your videos. I pray for our unity.

11. Haven't we got a lot to learn! Good to be reminded again (and again!) the need for humility and patience. Thank you Father.

12. Wonderful! Very useful teachings. A blessing 110% After a little thought Ive returned. At a later point in this video Father Spyridon you state from a teaching: The man must leave the ground of defiled polluted earth if he is to grow in health (God). At the close you verbalise another venerable Elder: If we separate from the church we have fallen. No quotes lol. At this moment the Church is sick, it's polluted. The Orthodox Church I cannot judge I've no experience other than YT videos never the less The RCC & COFE are very sick, thus Ive stepped away to find healing & direction. Its a narrow path discernment is critical. + / Love never fails

13. Father, if a man despises material, is this not also an attachment, like the man who covets it? Isn't pulling and pushing both clinging of the ego? What do you think about the middle way?

14. So many opinions in this world, so I've learned to accept none any of them. I am nothing.

15. 1:18, St.John Climacus, St.Basil the Great, and other saints quotations about being in the world but not of it.

16. 3:27, St. Maximos the Confessor.

17. 4:26, the quotation of St.Gregory the Great is not entirely correct, because not sharing with others with what we have is also found in the Old Testament, Isaiah 58:6-7

18. Thank you father, very helpful words!

19. Who supposedly said, " I come not to bring peace but a sword."? As well, "you must hate your mother and father to follow in my kingdon."?

20. Psalm 91:9-12: [Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.]
    When one walks with the LORD and He inhabits ye; this is part of being from above as Jesus Christ, and not being as below as the only thing that can harm thee, is that ye harm thyself. Here is the wiggle-room/-space that Satan's Heralds whisper unto thee, so that ye might dash thy own foot against the rock, that ye might pollute the waters to weaken and make the body more susceptible to harm, that ye might pervert the air ye breath with cigarette(laced tobacco) or other carcinogens or pollutants, that ye might be adulterated and stumble away from God: that ye make thy own soul and thy own body a place where God our Heavenly Father may not inhabit.
    This is how insidious the depopulation agenda is; for thy very food, thy water & thy air that one choses to consume, drink & breath: is perverted to be the very thing that harms ye like stubbing thy toe on a hard edge or surface.

21. Lord Jesus Christ , son of God , have mercy on me , a sinner.
    Please pray for me Father.

22. Why Im Eastern Christian.

23. God bless you father a million blessings thank you

24. Thank you Father. I really needed to listen to it. God bless you and your ministry.

25. I have learned much on Lord Jesus Christ through you. Thank you. Please Pray 🙏 for me. You will be in my Prayers.

26. I was baptized Catholic, had my first communion but strayed for many years…I returned to the faith recently
    Thank you for your videos

27. This is a hard teaching, because "harm can only come to us when God permits it" 2:35 – but God permits it often. He allowed John the Baptist to be decapitated, and Stephen to be stoned, 11 of the 12 to be executed, and many saints afterward to be burned and tortured. For the brothers and sisters in Britain, Canada, and US, I fear these times are coming again.

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

29. I wrote a song about this: https://youtu.be/RH2s2EQAbzQ It's called 'Go Getter'. Listen and Enjoy!

30. Thank you Father for these videos. My husband and I watch one or two every evening along with our Bible study. No matter what kind of a day we have had, whether good or bad by worldly standards, you help us keep the world in perspective and help keep our spiritual life in the forefront. It is easy when your day is going well to just give in to acedia, and relax and forget your spiritual life, and even easier when the day has been difficult to resort to complaining, anger or depression. With your videos, we are always reminded that neither state is constant, and that the most important thing is our spiritual well being, not our temporal one. God bless you for these, because it is so easy (too easy) to get caught up in the world.
