“A fish that is alive swims against the flow of water. One that is dead floats down with the water. A true Christian goes against the current of sinful age. A false one is swept away by its swiftness.” ~ St. Philaret of Moscow

Revelation 9:1 - 4
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

"But if one wishes to be absolute master of all, to obtain the entire inheritance, and to exclude his brothers from even a third or fifth part, he is not a brother, but a harsh tyrant, a rude savage, nay, more, an insatiable beast that would devour the whole sweet banquet with his own gaping mouth."
-St Gregory of Nyssa

#Discerning Traveling apostles and prophets
"Now, regards the Apostles and prophets, act strictly according to the precept of the Gospel. Upon his arrival every Apostle must be welcomed as the Lord; but he must not stay except one day. In case of necessity, however, he may stay the next day also, but if he stays three, he is a false prophet. At his departure the Apostle must receive nothing except food to last the next night's lodging; but if he asks for money, he is a false prophet"
