What are the passions of nature? This is another way of speaking about the natural urges which are planted in our nature for the purpose of procreation; when these urges become disordered we refer to them as the passion of lust. In our modern world the demon of lust has gained an enormous amount of power in society due to the easy accessibility of provocative images through television and computer screens. Together with this basic morals in society have broken down to a lamentable degree, so that it would not be surprising if we saw sulfur and fire come down from heaven to destroy our cities as God did with Sodom and Gomorrah. Unfortunately the Church is not immune to these effects from the society around us. We must learn warfare in order to fight against this passion. In our interview today with Fr. Peter Heers from @OrthodoxEthos we will be discussing what approach Orthodox Christians can take when fighting against this passion so that we will have a better chance of coming out as victors in the battle.
