Spotlight Moved

Next Step #667: Setting a new pillar of Armodoxy, this, in the light of the Second Coming. The Gospel by the four evangelists, according to Jesus and according to Paul: Spin the spotlight and take a look beyond the rhetoric. An understanding that moves Jesus from the temporal to the universal – why Matrilineality 2000 years ago. Get ready to be challenged and see the Kingdom as expressed by Jesus Christ. Judas was replaced by Matthias, Paul’s Conversion, Handmaid’s Tale, the Middle East and Christology without ethnicity.

LJ2021 – Day 32 – Courage

Lenten Journey 2021:
Faith in a Post Pandemic World
by Fr. Vazken Movsesian

Day 32: Courage
Get up and do not be afraid. – Jesus (Matthew 17:7)

There are two parts of courage, as understood from Jesus’ command. Absence of fear is an obvious attribute of courage. Not so obvious is the necessity to act about that loss of fear, that is, to “get up” and live. The Lenten Journey is about finding this courage that leads to a productive life.

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.
