Today, from St. Gregory the Theologian (of Nazianzus, in Modern Turkey)
God requires 3 things from all Christians:

Right Faith in the heart:
believe that Jesus is who He claimed to be,
believe the Truth of who you are as a beloved
child of God

Truth on the tongue:
not only don’t be a liar, but seek to spread
the Truth of Jesus as you go wherever you go,
love others through your words by telling them
the Truth

Temperance in the body:
Discipline your body so that you can finish
running the race well, as Paul instructed,
give it what it needs, but do not over-indulge
in food or drink, sleep or any other good thing.
Master your body so that its desires do not lead
you away from the faith through a series of sins
that you become so accustomed to that you begin
to identify with it... This is a hard one, here in the
West, where we have had access to so much in
the last 80 years or so.
