What Kind of State is This?

“We run eagerly to dances and amusements. We listen to pleasure the foolishness of singers. We enjoy the foul words of actors for hours without getting bored. Yet when God speaks we yawn. We scratch our heads and feel dizzy.

Most people would run rapidly to the horse track although there is no roof there to protect the audience from rain. Even when it rains heavily, or when the wind is lifting everything, they don’t mind bad weather, or the cold, or the distance. Nothing keeps them in the homes.

When they are about to go church, however, then the soft rain becomes an obstacle for them. If you ask them who Amos or Obediah is, or how man prophets or apostles there are, they can’t even open their mouths. Yet they can tell you every detail about the horses, the singers, and the actors.

What kind of state is this?”

-St. John Chrysostom, around 387 AD.

Matthew 12:1-9

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

“Christianity is an entirely new way of being human.”
-Saint Maximos the Confessor

“If you want to be known to God, do all that you can to remain unknown to men.”

-Saint Theognostos

….

“Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.” Proverbs 3:25.

“Brady disclosure consists of exculpatory or impeaching information and evidence that is material to the guilt or innocence or to the punishment of a defendant. The term comes from the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland,[1] in which the Supreme Court ruled that suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to a defendant who has requested it violates due process.”

The DoJ\DNC has denied its political enemies evidence on countless occassions that would exhonerate them.

“You fast, but Satan does not eat. You labor fervently, but Satan never sleeps. The only dimension with which you can outperform Satan is by aquiring humility, for Satan has no humility.”

-St. Moses the Black.

…

If the love is not experienced by the heart, no matter how many novels and poems you read, it will remain as a theory.

Likewise, in theology, no matter how much you talk about meeting God, it won’t be of any use, until you meet God in your heart, until you experience His love in your heart.
