A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

Beware of reading the doctrines of heretics for they, more than anything else, can equip the spirit of blasphemy against you.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

You have no peace from thoughts, which impel you to trouble others, and in turn to be troubled by others. But know, my brother, that if we offend by word or deed, we are thereby ourselves offended a hundredfold. Be longsuffering in all things and refrain from letting your own will enter into anything. Carefully examine your thoughts lest they infect your heart with deadly poison (ill temper) and make you take a gnat for a camel, a pebble for a cliff, and lest you become like a man who has a beam in his own eye but beholds the mote in the eye of another.

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.

Only with the greatest struggle and sacrifice is the chaff of heresy separated from the wheat of Orthodox truth.
