Religion in the Warplace

Next Step #324 – August 21, 2014

An Armodox approach to war, violence and religion with the overwhelming news of ISIS, war and genocide, destruction, killings… turning-off scenes of obscene violence of war and destruction is a luxury that many are exercising. Time to take a serious look at what you believe about religion and God in the face of such obscenity. When God is created in man’s image the violence erupts… case in point, look at the Old Testament. Saudi Arabian cleric proclaims the #1 enemy of Islam…. you’ll be surprised who’s been putting up the wall and what we can learn. Fr. Vazken takes the ALS Ice Water Challenge – and a lady named Rose.

Conversation beyond Politics

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #100 – May 6, 2010

Making Prayer a continuous conversation with God (and why the National Day of Prayer might hinder that process). Secrets revealed: Picking the right Lotto numbers and making peace without war. What kind of Priest would Jesus ordain? Church dynamics: The Old Boys Club is an Armenian one at that. Why invite an atheist to church?

Escape to the Desert, but not from Life

Next Step #91 – March 4, 2o1o

On Location at the Nevada/Arizona boarder – this message comes from the desert where God has painted the rocks with His artistic style. Drugs, alcohol, the desert and even religion (ala Marx) is escapism, but Jesus approaches the topic via an unusual parable, that of the “Dishonest Steward.” Views of the Grand Canyon and our digital lifestyle gives way to thoughts about immortality – not to be excluded by Sirac (have you heard of this book?). The Chilean earthquake knocks Earth (not Robertson) off of its axis. A visit to the St. Jude Ranch for Children and the groundwork for Fr. Vazken’s vision/dream for unwed mothers and children of domestic violence. Isn’t half of 40 = 20? An explanation for “Michink” – why Wednesday and not Saturday? Pray for us, St. Thaddeus.
