From preaching rector Archpriest Oleg Melnychuk.
Each "freedom", which is a product of the human mind , is nothing more than a beautiful veiled state of slavery. There can be no true freedom, but freedom in Christ Jesus. Slave state in Christ presupposes complete freedom.
freedom – it is a moral category. Very easy on the value of human minds are tempted. Man offer freedom, which inherently have psevdosvoboda. A psevdosvoboda - a dictatorship, and the ministry of sin. At certain mechanisms of influence on a person under the concept of "freedom" is offered free is Christ, forming a "social value". And as a consequence, man forms his life apart from God, forcing themselves into the space godlessness.
What is meant by the term "to be free in the modern world"? As for me, This permissiveness of human flesh, obedience and service to the passions.
There are people who are truly free. It is not those, who buy their boats and airplanes. These are the people, living in caves, in the mountains, of aphonia. freedom there, where there is no need to use sin, where there is a need in God alone.
"The whole world is committed to the freedom of,
What was the purpose of being present.
trust, happiness only in God,
The authenticity of his -
deliverance from sin.
But you are only truly free in God,
Your life is like a river.
Source it - yours is the power,
Where to go - and there began to flow. "
