Monotony

                      People nowadays have this tendency when reading Scripture: they read it with a very bland voice.  There's no excitement or pain, or fear, etc. in their voice when certain sentences describe said feelings.  It's probably the second worse thing that people don't go to church for, first being that Christians have a tendency to attempt a forceful feeding of Scripture.
                     Typically at the end of sentences comes punctuation(unless you're a modern day teen...in which case...).  And based off that symbol, is how the sentence is interpreted.  Well, when there's an exclamation point, usually, energy is involved.  But as stated above, not a lot of people read it that way. When Jesus was in the temple and He "drove out those that were selling" in Luke 19:45,  there wasn't a soft and "lovey, dovey" kind of Jesus that most know Him as today.  There was power in His words when He did such things like that.  And, even if it was ended with a period, I'm pretty sure it was said with a stern and firm voice.
                      One other thing people just read right over and think nothing about.  That is the word, "demon-possessed".
                       Jesus dealt with quite a bit of sicknesses in those times.  There's more then what we're given.  But when it comes to that term in particular, most people don't think twice about it; more than likely because they've never seen it or had it actually happen to them.  If you've ever had the frightening experience of watching "Paranormal Activity" or anything remotely similar, you'll now think of this word in a whole new way.  Now, granted, while there is little possession in the movies and more of demon hauntings, you'll still get the point.  It's one thing to see the person dragging you out of your bed and down the hallway, but to be drug by an invisible being...totally different story.
                         When Jesus came up on shore near the Gesarenes in Mark 5:1, a man who was possessed came up to him.  Granted, it wasn't him speaking but his name was Legion.  Now,  back up for a few and look up the word legion.  In terms of numbers, there are approximately 6,000 men in a legion.  Now, reroute your focus back to the man.  If I assume correctly, this means there's about 6,000 demons in this guy.  Two words: *jaw drops*  And the fact that all He said to these *6,000* demons was "Go.," shows you the level of power that Christ has over the devil.
                         With all that said, my point is this: Pay attention to how you read the Scriptures.  Because things like punctuation and certain words have a completely different meaning behind them then you may realize at first.
