Will You Add? - Mark 10:17 to 22 -- Jesus and the Rich Young Man
Marketing plans are made when a company wants to update the product or service that they provide. They base the plan on past experiences, past data and future expectations of the company. The marketing plan is usually supported by profound research because a lot of people may want to view it either they are involve with the company or not.The marketing plan of an online company is the same with the traditional marketing plan that is done by companies that are not on the Web community. It is an important component in starting out a business and to all the business society as well.The major factors in creating a good online marketing plan are:Define the target market.

The market situation involves the position of your company in the industry you are in and the major players that you compete with.Selecting the right marketing mix. Another important element of the marketing plan is the companies mark
Therefore, Mark’s use of teacher referring to Jesus is of respect for Jesus’ knowledge of sacred scripture and ability to relate it to disciples and followers. In the passage, Mark 10:17-22, the word teacher appears twice as spoken by the rich young man, once in the beginning of the story and again in the middle. The rich young man recognizes that Jesus speaks with authority when preaching. This young person did not come upon Jesus; rather he ran to Jesus giving homage by falling to his knees, and addressing Jesus as teacher. Hebrews 7:7 offers some insight to the young man’s behavior, “It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.” Other accounts suggest the ri
It is the fantasy of most businesspeople to develop a product that is so unique, or a patent that is so ironclad, that we end up with a 100% market share—with, in effect, a monopoly.But if you look at the history of monopolies, they’ve ended up being decadent and remarkably non-innovative. Customers have paid the price, by getting stuck with obsolete products, and the monopolists, themselves, could have fared better by pushing themselves to invent yet the next, big thing.Without vibrant competition, unfortunately, we stagnate.Recently, I was reading an ezine author who lamented that he was, by far, the most prolific writer on the web. He asked, in so many words, “Is there no one out there, to challenge me?”At first, this sounds arrogant and self-congratulatory, but if you take a closer look, he’s onto something really important. All of us do better when we have rivals who drive us forward.Remember, was it Alexander The Great, who reportedly, “Wept, because there were no more worlds to conquer”?As a sales manager, and now as a sales coach and consultant, I know that every crew needs to have two top producers, who nudge or push each other. The best thing for the entire team is to be part of an ongoing rivalry, because it infuses life and builds new peaks of performance.If you’re a solo practitioner, you are a “one-man band,” it’s tougher on you to grow and to develop, because there’s nobody next to you, clamoring for success.But don’t accept this as being normal or desirable.Create competition by outdoing your personal best. Go to conferences, search the web to find others who are more advanced than you are.Use them as new benchmarks of achievement.And this way, you’ll be able smile, knowing there are yet more worlds to conquer!
Mark wrote his narrative in active voice telling the events in the discipling of the apostles and ministry to the Chosen People of God. Throughout the Gospel, Jesus talks with people in all walks of Jewish life.
Thimmes (1992) helps explain the constituents of Marks Gospel. For Mark, constituents are groups of people, the twelve (apostles), religious leaders, Jesus’ family, crowds of people, and women. She continues to write that individual characters, like the rich young man, appear at times; however, they appear in justification of Jesus, His actions, His mission. Inner Texture/Intertexture
The inner texture - repeated patterns of speech and structure (Bekker, 2005) – include the theme of teaching, preaching to the people, offering insight to the apostles, challenging the teachers of religion, and commanding followership. To the people following Jesus, He tells simple stories for their understanding, to the apostles, He explains the parables in depth as to assure their understanding and their ability to spread the truth after the Accession. To the scholars of Jewish religion, Jesus traps them in their own words.
Intertexture – the tapestry woven into modern society (Bekker, 2005): The Church today continues to teach and interpret for the faithful. The Gospel of Mark uses intertexture through social topics common to the time in a manner that reflects culture. Mark wrote based on oral tradition and oral history (Dewey, 2004). Like organizational leadership today, Mark shared Jesus’ vision through story telling, in Mark’s situation, as suggested by Dewy (2004) and Robbins (2005), Mark wrote as scribe of Peter. Peter’s oral history became written history through Mark.
Oral histories and traditions of a great leader adhere to that leader over time. Like modern organizations, myth and folklore help preserve organizational history. We tell the stories in pieces in a way that people can understand the context, and then weave the stories into a text. More than myth and folklore, Mark’s gospel is a factual accounting resulting in little change over time. Inner Texture in Mark There are several recurring themes in the Gospel of Mark. We read that Jesus preached, He spoke with authority, He taught. These references tell us Jesus was a teacher. However, teacher has a different meaning today than the time of Jesus. Daily Bible Study (2005) offers a definition of teacher used during the time of Jesus.
Teacher: Rabbi, meaning Teacher, or Master was, and is, a dignified title given by Jews to doctors of the religious law and distinguished teachers. In the New Testament, it was most often recorded when used by His disciples for Jesus Christ.

Online games are gaining in popularity exponentially. It is one of the fastest growing segment on the Internet. Though there is no free lunch in life. It seems that free online games are a free lunch. Some of us have a impression that such games are for the teenagers. You will hear many parents talking about the countless hours their children spend playing games online. I wonder why the parents don't join them? Let me explain.We are all looking for fun and entertainment. Many times the television offers nothing new or you might have got bored watching television and would like to do something else. You don't want to go out and meet friends nor are in any mood for a dinner outside. you want to laze around the house and do something entertaining if possible. Online games are the answer for every age group.Online games have been wrongly assumed to be for young people. All age groups can enjoy them. What if parents join their children in online games? They would surely make them come closer. Why complain about how much the children are playing? Join them in the fun. They would love it. You would love that. And you can also control the types of games they play and the hours spent.Online games are fun. They increase strategic thinking. They improve our responses. They help sharpen our thinking. The games help in many ways. Try them and you will agree with what I say. You would wonder why you never played them before.

There a huge percentage of the population in the United States that is employed. If that’s you, then you know how difficult it can be to make money. Workers aren’t just making money for the fun of it; they have to support themselves or a family and unfortunately, work often requires many long hours!You may find that working long hours robs you of the important things in your life, mostly your time. But it does not have to be so. You can easily find another way to make more money starting part time.With the advent of the internet when it comes to making money people flock to it because they hear that untold riches and unlimited number of business opportunities lie there. And though many of these opportunities promise you unlimited income with little or no work many of these business opportunities are considered scams. That said there are a few that are legitimate. And one such legitimate opportunity involves acquiring private label resell rights to particular products. It makes sense letting someone else do all the hard work creating the product! After which once you have acquired the resell rights, it’s your reasonability to market and sell the product.One of the best reasons for obtaining resell rights and selling private label products is because most of the heavy lifting, the hard work, has been done for you. It makes sense right, that if you purchase the resell rights to some software program or an ebook, you won’t have to do the creating part which is often times the biggest part. Developing these products not only takes time, but also requires special talent and or skills. Getting your hands on a great Private label resell rights product allows you to bypass all the hard work and focus on selling and marketing the product!When it comes to private label resell rights, the most common question asked, is why doesn’t the original author or developer sell their own work? It’s simple really. For many professional writers or software designers, most of their money is made when they create their new product. They prefer to focus on creating products and not the selling or marketing side of business. Then all they need is to find someone, maybe you, to get their products into the hands of po

The Federal Trade Commission is concerned that many companies offering Gift Cards are not disclosing all the terms and fees. The SEC is questioning which quarter the gift card revenue is put into? Should it be listed in the fiscal quarter it is issued or the fiscal period that the consumer actually uses it? Additionally it is widely known that most gift cards have balances that are never used and eventually expire. The industry average is some 15-20% and this means the companies retain that as income.Now we see that Regulatory Bodies already trying to control the growth of gift cards;http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2004481,00.asp?kc=EWRETEMNL082406EOADThis is problematic as it adds fodder to the lawyers to sue companies, which may not be in compliance, it hurts smaller companies attempting to bundle services and lock in customers from their major Box Store Outlets. Also gift cards are being used as a form of currency by many?This electronic bartering will cause issues with the currency say some forward sub-sector economists. All this is interesting. But can we trust the government to regulate this, as they are messing up everything else they regulate and in the end Always end up hurting the consumer they purport to protect? Consider all this in 2006.

“Fear melts when you take action towards a goal you really want.” -Robert G AllenThere are several reasons why owning commercial property is better then owning resident property. The reasons are clear for anyone who has ever worked as a landlord. Cranking tenants complaining about everything on earth in the middle of the night.Most people invest in residential real estate because commercial real estate feels like unchartered waters and we are afraid. How exactly does a commercial landlord do, act, and say? Commercial property must work pretty well, after all Donald Trump started his emperor by being a commercial property 'landlord' and if it worked for him it can work for you.Below are a few reasons why you might want to consider investing in commercial real estate instead of residential.The first reason that commercial real estate has a higher rate of return then residential properties. Commercial property is space for businesses to sell their products and services. Their businesses depend on the number of visitors they receive each day in their store.The monthly rent on a commercial property is based on a certain percentage of the profit the company makes each month. As the businesses your rent to, make more money so do you. When a business comes and want to rent from you they do so because they know you have a good location.These businesses know the value of being centrally located and they are willing to pay to be in the right place. Location is less important for residential properties and it takes time to fill up your real estate.Most commercial renters will fix problems and minor repairs on their own with out calling the landlord. This is because they realize that problems interfere with their business and need to be taken care of immediately. Unlike residential renters who need the help of a landlord to take care of repairs. The updates done on commercial property can be fairly substantial and stay with the space when the business moves on.Companies usually need to put in networking and cable wires, sound systems, and electrical outlets. All of which increase the market value and marketability of your commercial space. If you are interested in
Therefore, Mark’s use of teacher referring to Jesus is of respect for Jesus’ knowledge of sacred scripture and ability to relate it to disciples and followers. In the passage, Mark 10:17-22, the word teacher appears twice as spoken by the rich young man, once in the beginning of the story and again in the middle. The rich young man recognizes that Jesus speaks with authority when preaching. This young person did not come upon Jesus; rather he ran to Jesus giving homage by falling to his knees, and addressing Jesus as teacher. Hebrews 7:7 offers some insight to the young man’s behavior, “It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.” Other accounts suggest the rich young man was a local leader (ruler) to whom others would bow in respect (Luke 18:18).
Recognizing the historical perspective of the teacher and the action of the rich young man to kneel before Jesus, one can understand how this person felt toward Jesus as a leader and teacher of the people. However, did this young man recognize Jesus as the Son of God? As the story unfolds, the young man also addresses Jesus as good, “good teacher.” Good appears three times in this short passage all in the opening verses. After the young man addresses Jesus as good teacher, Jesus replies by asking the young man to qualify “good,” as “No one is good but God alone.” This line of questioning seems to have a rational logical progression. First Jesus asks why the young man considers Jesus good. Second, Jesus states only God is good. Third, the unanswered question in logical progression is, “you address me as good, I say only God is good. Therefore, if only God is good and you address me as good, do you recognize me as God?” This appears a challenge to the young man to accept Jesus as the human manifestation of God. What word might the young man have spoken that we translate as good. Searching online sources for “good” in relation to it use in this passage, one Hebrew derivative appeared – tov. In Greek, one finds agathos, meaning that which is good or goodness. Another Greek term is kalodidaskalos, meaning teacher of good things or teaching what is good.
After researching the meanings of the good and teacher used in this passage, one can conclude the rich young man recognized Jesus as a scriptural teacher, with scholarly knowledge, who taught good things. One cannot conclude the young man recognized Jesus as the Son of God. Stevenson (no date) wrote of the encounter that the rich young man was mistaken that he and Jesus were equally good because of their acts. However, the young man had already stored his good works on earth and related in Matthew 6:16-18.
In the midst of the encounter, Jesus commands the rich young man to obey the commandments. However, Jesus seems to speak to the young man is terms he understands from the Scribes and Pharoses. The pattern Jesus used was unassailable “do not” violate a Commandment. The instruction “do not” repeats five times.
Upon Jesus telling the young man to obey the commandments, the young man replied he obeyed since being a child. He “… felt genuine love for this man as he looked at him” (Mark 10:21). This story concludes with Jesus final attempt at the young man’s transformation, Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions, give to the poor, and “follow Me.” Jesus asks this young person to give up his earthly treasure for heavenly treasures. Unable to accept this command, he turns and leaves Jesus. “At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions” (Mark 10:22). Although the passage ends with verse 22, Mark writes of Jesus continuing to instruct the disciples on the val
