Sermon – Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese Convention, 2019
No doubt, we live in dark times.

This is silly … we all know how LIGHT WORKS.
I don’t need the light to curse the darkness! Same as with a candle … I need the darkness to be dispersed, banished, by the light!
What I’m saying is – and I’m speaking to myself here: The world does not need more DARK CHRISTIANS. [“If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”]
