Bacon and Cheeseburgers Are the New Kosher
“Hear me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.”
– Mark 7:14-23
And when He had entered the house, and left the people, His disciples asked Him about the parable. And He said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.”

He said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.”
– Mark 6:38-44
And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Then He commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and He divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

Don’t Let Critics Paralyze Your Action
Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you – whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside.

Lift your head and look around you

And the heart that once was beating
Is coming back to life
Coming back to life
Tal’itha Cu’mi
He said to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
– Mark 5:39-43
And they laughed at Him.
But He put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand, He said to her, “Tal′itha cu′mi”; which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
And immediately the girl got up and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement. And He strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
