I’M NOT WAITING!

 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 1:4 NKJV) I will wait on the Lord and be of good courage in this life. I know I am not yet what I should be, and neither am I what I used to be, but I will wait until my change comes. I will wait for...

Most of us have been to a state fair or an amusement park that had a mirror maze. Intrigued by the challenge to find our way through the maze quickly, we gave the person in the ticket booth the number of tickets needed to enter the maze. We entered the maze thinking that we could get through it in record time. We thought, “How hard could it be?” However, we soon found the challenge was more...

THE CATCH

ByDr. Mark May 15, 2025 0 Comments
My dad must have attended a bible study class that pointed out the fact that Peter and his boys had been out all night, and they caught nothing on one occasion. Dad just had to have been taught that the fishermen in the text he was taught from during his childhood, went out to fish at night because that is when you have the best chance of catching fish. I can’t think of any reason, other than...

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” (William Ward Quote) As I was on my way to pick up some “Thank You” cards for the young students in our church’s tutoring ministry so that they could write notes of gratitude and appreciation to their teachers throughout the school year that is about to end, I had a thought. What was that thought?...

“I have been crucified with Christ: and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 The Living Bible) As I watched the national news earlier this week, on May 7th, there was a news reporter showing how long the lines were in an east coast...

JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T PRAY…

ByDr. Mark May 9, 2025 2 Comments
You have reveled in your recent successes, celebrated your climb upward on your career journey, and the health status in your home has you saying, “All is well.” These positive things happened, and you may have credited it to good fortune, great effort, and gain from maintaining a healthy diet. You might have even gone so far as to, as they say, “pat yourself on the back” or you may have...
