The current political system of USA has a spirit of neofascism. Its agenda is reduction of mankind to a “golden billion”. Unless Russia builds a political system on the foundation of uncompromisingly opposing principles, it will be globalized.

Reflection on Mt 5:29

Jesus speaks here about temptations and about the way of fighting them. The major battlefield is our mind. The devil attacks our mind through temptations more than anything else. This fight is relentless and does not stop as long as we are alive. You cannot allow thoughts to cross your mind as they like. Every demonic temptation which seduces man is targeted on the human mind. The enemy also exploits the human body in order to win man over to his side and to win his approval. Therefore, at every moment of his tempting the enemy develops a certain thought, e.g. he arouses envy, anger or hatred.Jesus teaches us that in spiritual battle with the enemy we must not dialogue with the temptation but resist it radically – pluck it out and cast it from our mind. This principle is vitally important in the struggle against impure temptations.

We cannot serve two masters. We will either love the one and hate the other, or vice versa. We cannot serve both God and a demon (mammon or other idols). We must say a definite “yes” to God and a definite “no” to the enemy. Eternal life, and not only ours, is at stake. The eternity of people around us depends on us.

We should live in the presence of God so that we may do the will of God, decide, speak and act not on our own but in dependence on God. The condition for us to abide and walk in God is our practical faith. We should really walk in faith like Abraham and revive our faith again and again in all trials. Therefore, no expression of a living faith is in vain or without response.
