Mark 11
I recall a podcast where Bishop T D Jakes was preaching on this chapter. He said – if Jesus can remember a donkey tied up somewhere, what makes you think He can forget you?
V12 I’m sure there is more to it than it seems but I want to understand why Jesus cursed the fig tree. V22 Fear and doubt seems to be the devil’s most powerful weapon. And Jesus repeatedly tells us not to doubt or be...

Mark 10
V24 …“Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!” Personally, I interpret this as – How hard it is for those who trust in their own intelligence to gain Divine wisdom. V27 …“With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”
Lol, the twelve disciples are a funny mix of guys. Would’ve been fun to meet them.

TODAY
The microwave stopped working
The Kettle stopped working
I noticed that I have misplaced my usb containing some work I need to hand in.
Went to the library and the software I needed was not installed yet.
Spent a good 2 hours today and 3 hours yesterday trying to understand Circuit Analysis
I dropped it all, left the flat, put my ipod on, took a walk and reminded myself that...

Mark 9
V5 is a verse I’ve always found mind boggling. There were no cameras back then, so how does Peter recognise Elijah and Moses? Does his spirit tell him, like the Holy Spirit revealed that Jesus was the Christ? I dunno. Also, how come it is Moses and Elijah, why not Isaiah or Jerry?
I reckon this is the most powerful verse in the Bible v23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things...

Mark 8
V12 But He sighed deeply in His spirit … I find this verse intriguing, not sure why.
In mark 7 when healing the deaf and mute man, verse 34 says And looking up to heaven, He SIGHED as He said, Ephphatha, which means, Be opened! SIGHED? Why?
Sighed implies…tiredness or fed-up-ness, Why is Jesus sighing? Am I reading too much into this?

I like interracial couples.

Innocence
When we look at babies play
Or children laugh
We think of innocence
-
But what is innocence?
Is it the absence of knowledge of good and evil
Is it a level of blissful ignorance
Were all is allowed
Without regret or guilt
-
Or is it in fact
The lack of desire for evil
The total embrace of good
-
If so,
At what age do we taste
The bite of Eve

Mark 7
15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.
21 Out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts…
My heart needs vacuum cleaning, that is the truth. Don’t know how… I once heard “Focus on doing the do’s and you won’t do the do’s”

before I go to sleep I try to picture things like Angels with big guns firing demons like spartans destroying persians and gold paved roads of heaven gleaming, and big massive angel swords, that go into hell to kick ass….
All in hope that I have some inception like dream where I’m in it.

Mark 6
Familiarity breeds contempt. Because they knew Jesus’ family, they decided to be offended despite the miracles and the plain obvious signs that He was the Messiah.
Father, forgive me for taking for granted those who are close to me and that You have put in my life.

Mark 5
I wonder what this man did in his life that attracted a legion of demons. The first thing I note is that demons cause isolation. And then self-harm / self-destruction.
V18 I think Jesus is teaching a valuable lesson here – a human’s life is of the highest value and we shouldn’t put it before profit or gain. This is why I disagree with the death penalty.
I get the impression that Faith is...

I asked an older church friend of mine about his girlfriend. The convo went something like this?
Is she all you ever wanted?
Not at all, not even close, she’s temperamental, one minute she can be happy, next thing I’ve done something wrong, she actually terrifies me when she’s angry, she doesn’t cook as much as i’d like her to, sometimes she talks too much, she...

Parable: a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson. – Dictionary Reference.
V31 -32 “[The Kingdom of God] is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches.”
I think that this...
