Scripture: Psalm 1
In the opening Psalm of the Psalter, the psalmist contrasts how significantly different the way of the righteous is from the way of the wicked. In fact, it is so significantly different that the righteous cannot even entertain the counsel of the unregenerate, but instead takes his counsel from the Word of God.

Scripture: Mark 11:27-33
As Jesus again enters Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin confront Him once again in the Temple. However, Jesus asks them a question, and demonstrates that they’re really not interested in the truth. Instead, they’d rather give an answer with the least political consequences.

Scripture: Mark 11:22-25
As Jesus and His disciples return to Jerusalem, the disciples notice the fig tree Jesus cursed the day before. Dead from the inside out, the tree illustrated the uselessness and coming destruction of the Temple. But with the Temple gone, how could believers commune with God? In this passage, Jesus gives three necessities to effectual prayer.
