‘The Path to Oikonomia with Jesus Christ as Our Lighthouse’ by John G. Panagiotou (John G. Panagiotou)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Why I wrote my first book: I decided to write my first book because I feel that there is a real need for people to have a true Christian understanding of stewardship in all aspects of their lives.

Κατηγορίες: In English

Κατηγορίες: In English

Those who strive to achieve perfect love, both for God and for their neighbor, can also confess our Lord Jesus Christ ‘in the Holy Spirit’ (see 1 Cor. 12, 3). You have to believe that God loves you even if everybody else turns away from you and everyone abandons you. You should see all your brothers in the monastery as a single person. In other words, don’t make exceptions and don’t have more love for anyone in particular. Love all of them to the same extent, because you’re all brothers, you’re all living in the same home, in the same monastery.
