Orthodox Quote for December 5
“When it comes to the commandments of Christ and the tradition of the Church, far too many people are like the first two drivers: they want to see how close to the edge they can get without going over. The commandments of Christ and teachings of the Church for these folks are like boundaries that exist to limit their freedom. And so they reluctantly keep them, if they keep them at all, but are constantly pushing up again them, seeing how close they can get without going over the line…this way of thinking isn’t remotely spiritual…”
