Intent & Direct

/0 Comments/in

 

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.

Diversions

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #647: Diversions that lead to devastation are once again popping up as the war in Artsakh enters into its second month of life. Peter and Paul lead into the tragic death of two deacons martyred in Artsakh. You’ve got information, where’s the power they promised? Self reliance vs. the wasted time begging. Playing out the rules of Genocide, this is not war when Azeris target civilians, maternity hospitals and churches. Sports: a cure for gossiping.

Next Step #645: Identity in crisis during a crisis: How to cope with the horrors of war and move from hopelessness to hopefulness. Tackling the big questions of purpose by finding definition in work and identity. At the foot of the bed: cancer patients and the war. Power and knowledge beyond human capabilities? Moving from ‘or’ to ‘and’ in placing faith with science. Mesrop Mashtots in Artsakh and the 1903 Encyclopedia Britannica. All this and politics too.

Back Door to Genocide

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #644: “In the Shadows” is arriving at a higher consciousness about responsibility in the face of evil. Overcoming the evil and with the The Blood of the Sacrament and the martyrs: A short meditation in front of the altar. Insult by Kurt Vonnegut: “They’re Turks” and seven-fold-turks. The road from light to darkness, the evil that takes place in the darkness and returning to the light: thoughts on how we got here and where we go. Identifying the point-of-no-return.

Zero to power of 10

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #643: War in Artsakh: News we hope would never happen but deep down knew it would. Azerbaijan: A case for systemic racism. Attack while the world is asleep: 1915 and today, taking advantage of the moment. What does it mean to have faith? To overcome evil with the good? The power of Miuron and the strength for the entire army. Questions for the Christian reconciling the peacemaker of the beatitudes. Juxtaposing the faith in Christ next to the reality of war. Identity and reconciliation: Double hypocrisy.

Belief Touched and Untouched

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #642: Eschatological parameters, manipulating the stories and testing religious myth against the backdrop of world events. A quick look at that reality through the last six decades and how the Good Samaritan got lost along with globalization while dialogues phased into monologues. Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the prophet metaphor. Hatred and intolerance: Arsonists at the Armenian Center and self worth. XM Radio deciding what’s religious and what’s entertainment.

Human Rights: Jesus and today’s response

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #641: Was Jesus concerned with human rights? Armodoxy for the day: Fr. Vazken challenges the listener to move from a future faith to a terrestrial one. A quick look at theologians – traditional and liberal, eastern and western and their missing voice today. The Kingdom of God is within and without you: The supernatural affecting our lives today. 2020, beyond the tragedies: A call to activism from Jesus’ mission.

Gender Revealing Revelation

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #640: With the backdrop of the California wildfires and apocalyptic forecasts, Fr. Vazken gives a 2020 interpretation to the reality with a wake-up call to responsibility. Hear what the mysterious “Spyglass Lady” had to say to us today. A gender-revealing party ignites a fire and the questions that reveals so much more, including the seedless watermelon conundrum. The Feast of the Holy Cross: Finding the “Rays” of light and hope.

Good-heart Bible

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #639: Does over analysis and applying reason to the Bible lead you away from Faith? It’s the starting question for this discussion, recognizing there are no wrong questions. Mark 4:35f and hardness of heart: doubt vs. experience. Reconciling absurdity with Faith: Learning and testing through vs computer programming. A different look at the rules that define us.
