It’s worth the effort (Elder Filotheos Zervakos)

The devil has lots of traps he sets to catch people. So love, concord and peace are absent from the world, and, in their place pride, anger envy viciousness and prodigality dominate, with people having become lecherous. They tear each other to pieces, kill each other tell lies, and exploit others. And all this because enlightened teachers haven’t been found to teach them that it’s worth the effort to walk in the path of the Lord and thus become an example for others to follow in life.
