Correcting the P-Correctness of “Jesus”

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #280 – October 17, 2017

When Glendale (California) Attorney tells Fr. Vazken he can’t use the name of Jesus Christ in a public forum it’s more than an annoyance of political correctness. A look at the constitutional right and freedom to free speech, the separation of the church & state. In the spirit of Niebuhr’s prayer – understand the difference between things we can change and those we can’t. The 60’s – the counter culture and the need for Sanctuary in the Body of Christ are all discussed.

Freedom to Weed it Out

Next Step #108 – July 1, 2010

Matthew Chapter 13 gets a special pruning, as the weeds are pulled from the grass. You won’t find a theodicy here, instead, it’s a meditation on true freedom from within. Blasting away the bonds of hatred and animosity. A most fitting reflection on this pre-Independence Day Celebration. It’s all here, even if you only hear “leb” along with a Fathers’ Day wish.  Now? Here’s a theory of why things happen at epostle.net. Drugs in Glendale: http://araratmagazine.org/2010/06/lost-kids-arm-america-1/

Freedom to Create Through Love

Next Step #3

Independence Day is a fitting time to look at our freedoms through the lens of Armenian Orthodoxy. What has been the strength of the Armenian people to survive? Where does this spirituality come from? Christ releases us of our bonds and gives us the true freedom – His Love. God has given us the most beautiful gift, the ability to create by tapping into the power of love. In this podcast Fr. Vazken explores the ideas of freedom, independence, and creativity.
