Wisdom for the day – Abbot Tryphon

September 26, 2013

As a member of the Body of Christ, you must resist speaking against other Christians.
If we judge each other, it is because Satan wishes to divide us.

The best defence against the Evil One is to stand united in prayer with one another.

Do not give in to the temptation to judge anyone, but rather pray for those who may disappoint or hurt you.
To do anything less is to fall short of the Glory of God.
We must all stand strong against the temptations that would divide us.
It is Christ Who sustains us and in turn we sustain one another.
It is Christ who unites us, and the devil who divides us.
This truth must be forefront in our thinking if we are to gain victory in spiritual warfare.

Abbot Tryphon
