Maturity of Faith

/0 Comments/in , , /by
Next Step #761 – January 12, 2023 – Wish for the new year: Maturity of Faith. Putting aside childish ways (ICor 13) and cultivating faith that works in life. Christianity, the teachings of Jesus with applications to Artsakh and the blockade. Avoiding the folly of relying on politicians taking care of your troubles. Breaking the cycle of hate.

Offerings

Next Step #674: Azerbaijanis in the Armenian Church at Shushi under the guise of renovation. Archbishop Barkev of Artsakh, speaking from a place of authority and a mystical place. Some basics of civility. “Demanding” from others? Here’s what the punks asked and what we answer: Plainly, what we have to offer the world. Elevate the conversation.

Miracle Heartbeat

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #652: Content – The miracle heartbeat that outlasted the lease. The aged parents and the children on the front line in Artsakh. How 2020 became the best year ever: Thanksgiving. Miracles that shouldn’t be. Quantity to quality and back again: The cycle of life. Parenting books that weren’t read and weren’t missed. The Jesus gift: Christmas the way he wanted. Luke 14 as simple as it gets.

Aftermath

Next Step #649: And when the war was over… Confusion, frustration and anger are all part of a story we’ve heard before Artsakh. Some answers in the aftermath, with a vantage point from beyond, one which once inspired us. Here is a story of hope in the aftermath of a modern day Avarayr, and the aftermath of the US elections.

Intent & Direct

/0 Comments/in /by

 

Next Step #648: A time portal is opened to reveal a tsunami that was once the reason for Armenian benevolence. How doing unto others is a model for saving a nation. As War in Artsakh, and increased talk of inhumane atrocities and the existential threat, here is some direction toward self reliance and finding a place in the resistance effort. No doubt Tirdat saw something powerful here.
