Post 911 & Tech

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step with Fr. Vazken #692: Dinah Washington sang “What a difference a day makes” … here we are 20 years times 365 of those days, a world touched by terror and by advances in technology. Implications for our lives, identity, and for our Faith. Kilobytes to Terabytes… California’s election process and the role of organized religion in delivering the product. What product?

Next Step with Fr. Vazken #690: Oxymorons given to contemplation, reveal more than the meaning of a phrase or idea, but a look at incongruous and seemingly conflicting ideas. Take a stab and take some time, from the polecat perfumed to some basics in Christianity, a call beyond the child (I Cor 13)

Thought Process

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #686: A thought process that takes you from the reality of war to an answer found in the song of a people. Leaving the neighborhood: Christianity on the border. With Azeri aggression front and center, and a silent world community, Fr. Vazken leads the listener through this short journey, not down a rabbit hole, but to an end with identity nourished along the way. Defining identity through memory. Finding hope

Next Step with Fr. Vazken #684: “Out of the mouths of babes” comes a question with a profound answer: Life after death for the Christian. Remember Yellow Pages? Claimed as the “original search engine” is also the original pay-to-create news service: Deciphering through some of the religious “competition.” Apostolic vs. Gregorian.

Mister & the Sister
Next Step #664 – February 25, 2021 – Mr. Potato head loses his top. Silliness abounds as the world death numbers increase; Calculated moves for profit. Connecting to the Expulsion story. The COVID-19 vaccine gives a metaphor for us to find faith in the post-pandemic era.

Simply Innocent

/0 Comments/in /by

 

Next Step #663: The Armodoxy approach to Lent: Simplifying by the numbers. Rules and regulations that form society and stripping them down during Lent. Even a Bible must be paid for: the rules that govern a simple Bible Study. A collection of Riffs from Beethoven to Zeppelin. Childish vocabulary not needed: hear the Beatitudes before it got complicated.

Good-heart Bible

/0 Comments/in /by

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.

Plastic: Molding Faith

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #638: As the political atmosphere heats up with elections two months away, religion, particularly Christianity, comes into question as politicians justify actions and policy with a wide variety of departures on theology. Fr. Vazken offers a primer on politics and the use of religion, finding the grey matter between the black and white, conservative and liberal. Qualifying politicians by the Christian scale: the plasticity of the faith to conform to the world and an Armodoxy look.
