Interesting that the most harsh words and actions from Jesus were meted out to the religious people.
Also, I think we can speak a little more plainly and bluntly amongst ourselves than we do with sinners or strangers.
The Messiah inserted into history, stirring a revolution, God in flesh seeing in human form of what His house has become. For a moment in Jesus, we see the wrath of God, though tamed to be sure. Turning over tables is mild.
The God who owns the house, standing in his house, and exercising his authority as God's Son to rebuke.

Some of us come by humility via a meek and humble nature. Some of us work real hard at it through a series of random acts of stupidity. Some of us succeed and become profitable, the rest win a Darwin award.

Though I would argue, realizing more and more who Jesus was, His Story, and becoming one with Him, would be a humility without any effort. When we realize who we are, what we did not deserve and what He did...

I think being meek means, not placing ourselves above others.

I think that if they both would "humble themselves and pray, and seek Bro. Munsey's face" that he would let them help raise funds for TBN.

Now how did I get two quotes on there at the same time? Been trying to figure out how to do it..... and now I did it, but don't know how I done it! I'm sure the Evangelist could tell me how. He knows everything else! lol
