Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 10:1-9
1 - He left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and out beyond the Jordan. And crowds once again gathered to him. And as was his custom, he taught them. (Be still my heart.)
2 And Pharisees came and attempted to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.” (Rather than sending her away without divorce.) 5 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment/instruction/law. 6 But at the beginning and forming of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and join closely to his wife, 8 and the two are become one.’ So they are no longer two but one. 9 What therefore God has joined together, man should not separate.” (“Except for adultery” Mt.19:9, and of course abuse. We’re all born sinners/missing the mark/imperfect and have not done all things perfectly, and still don’t. Jesus did not scold the woman of Samaria he met at the well, who had had five(!) husbands. Only once born anew can anyone hope to genuinely do better in this life.)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ James 1:1-8 ~
1 - From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (Likely this James is Jesus’ natural brother who became a serious disciple and apostle after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection [Passover, UB, Firstfruits - the ancient Spring holy days fulfilled. Pentecost])
To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:
Greetings.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren (brothers and sisters) when trials of various kinds come upon you! 3 For you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and stability. (Tested like steel in the forge of life. Life as we presently know it, the crucible, laver, sieve, which continues until one of two - written - vivifications. At the Lord’s return, or at the “behold I make all new” - greek word “pas” all, but translated, all things, Rev.21:5.) 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect! So that you may be made perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (Even Jesus was thusly tempered.)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask God. For he gives generously to all - without reproach - and it will be given to them. 6 But let them ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is tossed about by the wind. (By all the various winds.) 7 For that person must not suppose that they will receive from the Lord. (Faith, believing, expectation is the ground wire of “receiving”.) 8 They are being double-minded and therefore unstable in all their ways. (Remember the father of a afflicted son who cried “help Lord my unbelief!” The scripture is a treasure trove of riddles. We will never understand its Glorious message if we are doubtful, full of doubt. We become like a swimmer in deep waters thrashing about, grabbing onto any flotsam that floats by?)
