very good, thank you
This looks like a broad way to me, that one which leads to destruction. The way in fact is so narrow, and the gate is so tigh, that only Christ's walk, and the works of Him have room on tne path, and can squeeze through the gate. Only on the merrits of His completed work one can enter.
How many times God repented? Was it true repentance by Him, or is God is even capable of sinning? Those seem like a very stupid questions indeed, if one takes repentence in the context of sin. Did Apostole Paul even mention such a word in the gentile environment? No, he did not. Indeed, why would he do such a thing, if the gentiles did not need to repent from their unbelief, but simply believe. Unbelief, was the Jewish blindness. The difference is not subtle at all, and refusal to recognise it leads to a corrupt doctrine, and might result in a believer believing in vain.
YES. keep doing more videos please
Father bless. Thank you for your very fine videos.

st.john crysostom 😍😍
Bless, Father, and pray for me, for I am a sinner.
Thank you for posting these videos Father. I was Chrismated into the Orthodox Church of America in 2004. I stopped attending church around 2011. I just started going back to services in December. Your videos have been an excellent resource and a blessing. I appreciate how concise and heart felt your videos are. I've been rediscovering metanoia. You, a couple of other Orthodox Christian YouTubers, my priest and other folks who attend my church have been like a huge Christmas present. Christ is born! Glorify Him! The Grace and Love I have been experiencing feels like a miracle.
Choose life or death, easy 🙏
Слава Тебе, Господи, за все!
dear sweet brother i agree with one of ways that lead to repentance and the other are consequences of confessing hatred forsaking and
fearing sin more than coved 19

Thank you Father.
Father, I thank you for your inspiring and uplifting videos, which have helped me and so many others to find God – and long may they do so. I now feel a strong need to become a member of The Russian Orthodox Church, but don't have a church within a hundred miles. That said, I am thinking of moving. I've started praying, and am considering buying a Bible. Could you recommend one in English? Thank you again, Father; and may God bless you, your family, friends and neighbours.
Thank you Father for teaching me how to be a TRUE Christian.
I have been so lost it feels like blinders being removed from my eyes.
Lord Jesus Christ , Son of God , have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you for your words Father.
I greatly appreciate the video.
Amém.
Amen….Thank you, Father…

Prayer to the Holy Spirit (St Augustine)
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen
Dear Father Spyridon, Bless! Oh what a joy your videos are for me. These past few days I have been listening as I work. The words of the prophets, of Christ, the Apostles, Fathers and Saints are an outpouring of the Holy Spirit which nourishes the hearer. So much more in the way of repentance is needed. Your prayers, and I thank you for this ministry that you share in.
Amen
It seems to me we should do all of that. God gives me repentance through saying the prayers. I have noticed if I miss a day I face more temptations. Im retired so I say the prayers on the hours. I have found that by doing that I don't even think about sin and if I don't then I struggle with temptations more. I have discovered that God is in the prayers as well as in the sacraments. If I go to confession and recieve communion and say the prayers as well as reading the scriptures I become aware of God working, His energeia, in my life. Glory to God our Father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
