The Format

Each meditation is introduced by a short video and a summary of the meditation by one (or more) of my former students.

Each meditation begins with a Scripture portion, and any references to the Father in it are highlighted in bold.

Each meditation ends with a prayer, taken from several Bible texts. I encourage you to pray this prayer out loud.

Bible translation reminders

The word 'YOU' in capitals in the Scripture passage indicates that the second person in the Greek text is plural. A group of people is being addressed. When you see a 'you' in lower case, you know that the Greek is singular, and a single individual is being addressed.

The translation being used is indicated with an abbreviation. PH and GH refer to my own translation for the Gospel 'harmony' and the 'harmony' of Paul's life and letters that I have produced. Whenever  a scripture passage is taken from the already published Gospel harmony (GH)—The Good News of the Messiah by the Four Witnesses—the page number(s) will be listed in a footnote at the bottom of that meditation.

See Bible Translations Used if you want to know more about these publications, or if you don't recognize one of the other abbreviations used after the text reference.

Bible References in Italics

When chapter and verse numbers appear in italics in the Meditation portion of the lesson (in parentheses), it means that the text being identified can be found above, in the Scripture passage for that same meditation.
