Spiritual language is natural, conscious and innate. It is not something we learn, it is something we discover. This language is not rationally taught but consciously remembered. Take time to sense the godly Presence within when a spiritual word is added to the rational, worldly reading of scripture. We learn our spiritual language as we learn our worldly language by speaking it.  Read more


Pentecost XXIV Mark 12:38-44

Mark 12:38-44. Beware! Jesus tells His disciples to beware of scribes. Why for this time did He only single out the scribes and not the Pharisees as well? The Facts: The "Scribes in the New Testament are also referred to as "lawyers" who were the legal jurists of their day. Worldly thinking looks to the scribes for understanding of Jesus.

Pentecost XXI Mark 10:17-31

Mark 10:35-45. "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory." Worldly thinking of James and John is that they want to sit on the right and left hand of Jesus in His glory. Godly understanding knows that He is spiritually already in His glory. They already are sitting on His right and left Hand. The grace of the Presence of God has already been given to all of us. All of us are not always in this Presence. It is for those for whom it has been prepared.  Read more

Godly understanding knows that, in our heart, we cannot depend upon anything other than the Presence of Jesus for our life.  Read more
