Orthodox Quote for June 2
“Christianity was never intended to be a religion…but a life to be lived…Christianity is not a spectator sport… listening to the readings, hearing sermons or teaching, attending Bible studies are never ends in themselves. The Word of God becomes active when mixed with faith in the hearer, and then acted out in our life in obedience to the commandments of our Lord. We translate that faith into deeds.”
(Fr. Alban Waggener; pastor of Holy Trinity Western Rite Church)
