Angel: A teacher and guide are necessary in order that the virtuous deed would be accomplished as it should."It is terribly conceited to assume that one has no need of anyone and relies only on himself to advise what is best for him" (St. Basil the Great, Concerning Chapter One of Isaiah). ...

When I was a protestant the common thought was, "God and I can conquer the world". I had thought that all I needed was my Bible and God and I was invinsible, ready to destroy Satan in all his defilement. I guess this is something that is more common than I thought. Lord have mercy! We need each other and we need those that are expeirienced in spiritual warfare.
