Nigel who shared in the Basic Christianity discipling course in the 1980's at King's College London, which later became the Way of the Spirit workbooks and teaching modules www.thewayofthespirit.com , has worked at a literal translation of the Gospels, and the Old Testament for some years now. I give here a little sampling from Mark 8.34
Then when He called the people with His disciplined ones too, He told them: "Anyone who shall come after Me shall deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me, 35 because anyone who rescues his life, will lose it, but anyone who loses his life for me, and for the Good Message - he shall rescue it, 36 because how is it going to benefit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 or what shall a person give in exchange for his soul? 38 So anybody who is ashamed of Me and My words in this generation that is missing the mark and adulterous -The Son of Humanity will be ashamed of him too, when He comes with the set apart messengers in His Father's Glory

Timid, easily intimidated, ashamed, ... ? God is the God of the easily intimidated, the weak (i am concrete proof of this), and the "strong" lol
Not so much reflections for the soul( First Step), but indeed for any who consider themselves church (Step Two) and seek to follow a coherent, and prophetically responsible, aware line of conduct (Step Three) in a "lost generation". How many loaves do you carry with you young'Un?
