Mark 9:24 - "Lord, I believe; help thou my
unbelief"
Assert strengths first, then acknowledge
limitations
Hold fast to what you already know
and stand strong until additional
knowledge comes
Like Adam and Eve: "Why do you
sacrifice?" "No idea, the Lord told us
to."
Do not start your quest for faith by saying
how much you do not have
Don't pretend to have faith you don't
have, but be true to the faith that you
do have
Questions are okay, but don't let those
questions stand in the way of faith
working its miracle
Do not be afraid to ask for help!
When we have real intent, God is going to
fulfill our desire to learn.
He is going to send help from both sides
of the veil.
Mark 9:29 - In the KJV, it mentions both
prayer and fasting; in the New Rendition, it
mentions only prayer. Is this implying that
fasting is a form of prayer?
Mark 9:43-48 - Jesus teaches about the
importance of an eternal perspective. It's
better to suffer temporally (by losing a hand,
foot, etc.) and enter into the kingdom of God
than to be cast into hell with the body in
perfect condition. Leave behind temporal
things for spiritual things.
Mark 10:35-45 - The greatest among
everyone is those who serve. He who loves God
and loves his neighbor is the greatest. The
best way to lead others is to show them
love. Some dictators try to force everyone to
do their will. The best leaders don't need
to. Everyone is willing to follow them through
hellfire because they feel the love of this
person for them and they trust this person
with their very lives.
