Psalms 92:1-15. Verse 1, starting into this new week, what are three specific things from last week that I want to thank and praise God for doing in my life?

II Peter 2:12-22. Verse 22, repetitive patterns of sin. How does this apply to me? What is God’s remedy?
Mark 12:28-37. Verse 34, not far from the kingdom. Why doesn’t Jesus say the man is in the kingdom? How do I measure up by this standard?
