Looking for a spiritual practice? Interested exploring Mark's gospel?
Please join me for another look at Mark. Starting tomorrow, I will be reading a chapter per day and posting my thoughts. From each chapter, I will select a verse or a phrase which jumps out at me. Sometimes it will be a verse which resonates with me; sometimes it will be one which troubles or confuses me. Or perhaps it might be little known, weird or unusual.
This is the approach I took with the recent Matthew thread. I enjoyed doing it very much and I enjoyed our discussion. You are welcome to comment on the verse I choose for reflection each day. I usually post a very brief summary of the chapter, just to give the verse some context. I am not necessarily trying to "cover" the whole chapter or explore all of the material. But you are welcome to discuss any other aspect of the chapter which interests you.
Now for some guidelines. Please stay on topic. Stick to the chapter of the day.
If you wish to refer to another book of the bible or a different chapter of Mark, please explain why you are doing this. If you would like to post a joke or musical offering, please do so as long as it is in good taste. If you post a video of a sermon, please explain why you want us to watch it.
This is a lot of "pleases", I know, but I am well aware of how study threads have gone off the rails in the past. I intend to make judicious use of the Report button and request moderator assistance with any posts I find to be off topic. To name the elephant in the room, any posts which are too obscure to be reasonably understood will be considered off-topic. Please just stick to the topic and all will be well.
See you tomorrow, I hope!
