• An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Choose the better path.
• Anger Built up anger can lead to worse things.
• Anointing the feet To anoint the feet means to treat the body — yours and others' — with devotion, care, and the resources Jesus used.
• Anxiety Worrying won't help. Stay in today.
• Baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost Baptism isn't a dip in water — it's an immersion that changes you from the inside out.
• Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves Be on guard and open at the same time — Jesus's charge to his disciples as he sends them out among the wolves.
• Blessed To be blessed means to live in the kingdom of Heaven and receive love from Jesus.
• Blessed are the meek To be meek means to restrain yourself.
• Blessed are those who mourn Jesus comforts you when you grieve.
• But take heart; I have overcome the world Be encouraged. I have shown you what's possible.
• Clean the inside of the cup first What's inside drives what's outside. Start there.
• Communion; This cup is the new testament in my blood, which shall for you be shed It was a request, not a ritual. Remember me — no wine, wafer, or performance required.
• Died for Sins Jesus never said he died for your sins — not once. He said he would be murdered and then rise, and he was. His death sealed a new bond that took God out of the gatekeepers' hands and opened him to everyone.
• Direct Knowing God speaks to everyone, not just through the Bible. He scatters his 'seeds' in many ways — dreams, books, people, signs — and a receptive heart receives them while a hardened one lets them fall.
• Downloads God communicates through dreams — downloads that can teach, guide, instruct, or heal. You can learn to receive them, and to tell a real one from ordinary noise.
• Fasting Fast from your ego, not your food. Religion turned an inner humbling into an outer performance — Jesus never asked you to give anything up.
• Father, Son, and Holy Spirit One life in three roles — the Father is the gardener, the Son is the vine, and the Holy Spirit is the sap running through into fruit.
• Feeding of the 5,000 If someone is trying to do better, help them with what you have.
• Forgiveness To forgive means to let go — to release the offense, the offender, and your own role as their jailer.
• Glory to God Glory means weight. It's the involuntary realization that you've witnessed God and felt he's real — not a phrase to shout on cue.
• God's Not in the Room Eden isn't about God's motives or Eve's weakness — it's the conversation you have with yourself right before doing what you already decided, with the one voice that would've stopped you left out of the room.
• Grace Grace means to show love or mercy.
• He who is without sin To cast judgment requires perfection — and no one has it.
• Heaven You are already in the kingdom.
• I came not to bring peace, but a sword Be prepared for division — Jesus's warning to his followers.
• Let the dead bury their dead Stop making excuses — do it now.
• Leviathan Face your demons — the serpent, the dragon, and the Leviathan are one monster, and the only way through it is to look at it head-on.
• Mansions When you truly love Jesus, he and God make a home inside you.
• Middleman; Mediation; I am the way, the truth, and the life There was never supposed to be a man between you and God. Jesus is the direct line — given to you by God. No temple, no priest, no ritual required.
• My God, My God The one time on the cross Jesus doesn't say Father but 'my God' — the psalm he's quoting, the deal he'd already refused, the long line of rejected messengers he joins, and why 'he died for your sins' turns the whole story upside down.
• No man is good but one Good isn't a box you check off.
• Prayer To pray means to talk to Jesus.
• Remember Lot's wife When you're being led forward, don't look back. Clinging to the old life — the kosmos, or anxiety about judgment day — freezes you in a life that was never really yours.
• Repent To repent means to change your mind — completely, and in a way that changes your direction.
• Righteousness To live in righteousness means to do what's true — no matter the cost.
• Sexual immoralities There is evil that can come from specific sexual acts — but not from sex itself.
• Sin Sin means 'missing the mark' — an off-target shot, not a crime or a stain. It's released the moment you pick the arrow back up and ask Jesus where to aim.
• Take my yoke upon you To take Jesus's yoke means to walk alongside him and let him help.
• Take up your cross To take up your cross means to follow Jesus.
• The Day of Sabbath Every time the Sabbath is given, mapped as one story — a gift of rest that hardens into a rule men would kill for, until Jesus hands it back.
• The Devil The only torment is the torment you choose for yourself.
• The Good Shepherd Jesus is your protector — strong, intimate, and present.
• The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector Stop performing.
• The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath Rest, not rules. The Sabbath was a gift of rest for the overworked — never a mandatory day of worship.
• The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak Prepare your body for moments of weakness.
• The Ten Commandments Timeline The ten commandments as one lesson God gave, then the rulebook man made of it — six chapters from Sinai to Jesus, watching a warm teaching flatten into contradictory law, set against the one man who read it in the depths.
• Tithing Give from your heart, not your wallet. God's tithe was food for the landless and the poor — it was never a tenth owed to an institution.
• Turn the other cheek To turn the other cheek means to choose differently.
• Vine, vinedresser, branch To abide in Jesus means to stay connected to him.
• Where two or three are gathered in my name Jesus shows up wherever his followers gather around him — no structure required.
• Worship; God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth Not a place or a posture — true worship happens in your heart, with no mountain, building, or middleman required.
