Power Over The Pigs

11/7/2011

In our family study, Mark 5 taught us about Jesus dealing with the demon entity(ies) called Legion.

Jesus removed these demons from the man.
Jesus did not fear the demons.
Jesus talked with the demons.
Jesus was feared by the demons.
Jesus allowed them to go to the pigs.
Jesus healed the demonic man.

What demon is there that will not bow to Jesus? What demon do we have to fear if Jesus is leading our way?

Soil Is The Person

In our family's study, we touched on Mark 4. Our discussion centered on the parable of the soils.

In short, the soils are people and the seed is the word of God. People have the choice to be truly receptive to the word of God by applying it in their life in a consistant lifestyle. It is not intended to be fake or short-lived. Rather, it is a choice of dedication to the "living word" - Jesus Christ.

Let us all live by an obedient faith in Jesus Christ.

Fasting

In our family Bible study this last night, we read Mark 2. Within that chapter we touched on the subject of fasting.

Fasting is ment to be a time of solemnity with oneself and God.

Abuses of fasting included: lack of sincerity, wrong purpose, and for show only.

Although many people say that the NT does not command fasting, it can't be said that it is not expected. Fasting is intended to be an avenue of focusing on God. Focus of prayer. Focus of thought. Focus of devotion to God.

Please, be humble to God.

Bible Time With Your Family

Last night our family started to read the gospel of Mark. Each of us took turns reading from Scripture. Afterword, we talked a little, had a prayer, and hugged each other on the way to bed.

There are benefits to studying the word with your family. (My oldest two children are 9 and 10 years old.)

Improve reading skills.
Improve study skills.
Improve family structure.
Improve dedication to God's word.
Improve relationship with God through an obedient faith in Jesus Christ.

We love our children. Yet, we know that if God isn't first in their life, because of our lack of teaching, we have done a disservice to God as parents.

Remain humble before the Lord.
