“I think many Christians are aware that the world as a whole has been in the process of falling away from the love of God and giving itself over to various iniquities for some time now. Yet when studying the signs of the times, we must always keep in mind that the primary concern of Christians must not be to sit in judgment over the sins of the world, but rather to deepen our own repentance…We must look for the spirit of the times not simply in world events, but above all in our own hearts.”
(Hieromonk Gabriel  in ‘Remembering Sion’ blog)
