To become a follower of Jesus, visit: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/MeetJesus (NOT a Morning Mindset resource) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ A brief video covering this issue (that I think is very good) can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9RsHnb7huk - My description follows… The words found in the gospel of Mark 16:9-20 are likely NOT included in the original document that the gospel writer (Mark) recorded. How do we know this? We know because we are able to compare the existing copies of Mark’s gospel to one another - and when we do, we find that the very earliest copies (the oldest ones) do not contain these words. It’s also clear from notations in the copies that DO contain it, that the scribes who copied them knew there was some kind of dispute or “problem” related to the inclusion of verses 9-20. So how did these verses get into our Bibles? We don’t know for sure, but the best guess of scholars who think the passage is not original to Mark’s writing believe that a well-meaning scribe (a person who copied scripture by hand), felt that Mark’s ending was too abrupt, so he did something to “fix” the problem, as he saw it. While we don’t truly know WHO added this ending, or WHY they added it, we know at the very least that since at least the 2nd century, scribes have struggled with whether or not to include this section in the Gospel of Mark. To support this theory is the clear evidence that in the text of those earliest copies, the style or “era” of Greek script used to record verses 9-20 is very different than the Greek used in the rest of the Gospel. It’s pretty clear that a different scribe, at some point, wrote that section. For this reason, many researchers of ancient documents do NOT feel that these verses should be included in the gospel of Mark. Most modern study bibles will have a note that indicates the problematic nature of this section for modern readers. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE MORNING MINDSET: (not tax-deductible) -- Become a monthly partner: https://mm-gfk-partners.supercast.com/ -- Underwrite one daily episode: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/daily-sponsor/ -- Give one-time: https://give.cornerstone.cc/careygreen -- Venmo: @CareyNGreen ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FOREIGN LANGUAGE VERSIONS OF THIS PODCAST: Subscribe to the SPANISH version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Spanish Subscribe to the HINDI version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Hindi Subscribe to the CHINESE version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Chinese ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ CONTACT: Carey@careygreen.com ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ THEME MUSIC: “King’s Trailer” – Creative Commons 0 | Provided by https://freepd.com/ ***All NON-ENGLISH versions of the Morning Mindset are translated using A.I.

5/22/25 - What makes the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible one of the most trusted resources for Catholics today? Mark Brumley, President of Ignatius Press, takes us behind the scenes of this long-term project. He discusses the origin of the study Bible, the contributions of theologians like Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, and the importance of presenting Scripture through the lens of Catholic teaching. We'll discuss how the study notes, doctrinal commentary, maps, and word studies were developed in order to help readers better understand both the historical context and spiritual meaning of the biblical text. Whether you're a student of theology, a parish Bible study leader, or just someone trying to deepen your understanding of the Word of God, this may serve as an incredibly valuable resource for you!.

Are we supposed to understand everything in the Bible? It's important that we learn to be content with not understanding all the mysteries of Scripture. God doesn't tell us everything we want to know—He tells us everything we need to know. Praise God that we don't have to be scholarly theologians to read His Word!

Visiting Israel and experiencing the Bible ------------------ Mark 8:27-33 (ESV) Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ 27 And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him. Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection 31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” __________________ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1. God's Word 2. Prayer 3. Evangelism 4. Discipleship 5.

Anger and fear have turned American politics toxic. Is there hope beyond the culture wars? Jesus lived in the middle of a culture war with Rome. His people were bitterly divided by religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, and ethnic differences. Sound familiar? So where was Jesus in all this? Did He side with conservatives or liberals? Did he run a campaign to Make Israel Great Again? A: None of the above. Instead, Jesus went from town to town, offering hope and a brand-new way to live free… regardless of who has the power, money, or influence. The Kingdom of God is bigger than our petty political boxes and little labels. Jesus promised His Kingdom would transform people's hearts… and eventually the world! This is how to live free as a Kingdom Christian in a deeply divided world! Check this out: In the Bible (Mark 12:13-17), political leaders tried to trap Jesus into picking sides on the hot button issue of taxes. But Jesus elevated the conversation and showed that while government claim ownership of our money, God claims ownership of our souls! Every human is made in the “imago dei” (image of God) and worthy of our love, respect, and compassion. This gives Kingdom Christians a supernatural power to love our enemies– yes, even those we disagree with politically. As a Kingdom Christian, we view politics through the lens of faith… not the other way around! Christ followers are called to wrestle biblically with hot button issues in our world– including sexual ethics, social justice, the value of human life, and immigration– and cross party lines when necessary to be faithful to Christ's Kingdom. Jesus' liberating message calls for loving our enemies, refusing to worship the false idol of politics, and putting our trust in God alone, not the government of man. #FaithBeforePolitics #JesusAndPolitics #LiquidChurch
Mark 12: 1-12
In Mark 10, some Pharisees “test” Jesus by asking Him if it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife. Michael and Lauren Farris and Travis and Lori Evans dig deep into the Word about marriage and divorce. Each couple brings a different perspective - Travis and Lori both divorced and remarried, and Michael and Lauren married only once, to each other. They share real and raw stories about the Lord's redemption through broken marriages and even divorce.
