NO PLASTICITY OR HIGH STIFFNESS THIS WEEK!

“The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” (Genesis 2:15-17 NLT) I should have called my Aunt Lucille, a famous sculptor, scientist, and surely one who falls into the...

YOU ARE DIFFERENT!

ByDr. Mark July 19, 2026 2 Comments
“And the Scriptures also say, “He is the Stone that some will stumble over, and the Rock that will make them fall.” They will stumble because they will not listen to God’s Word nor obey it, and so this punishment must follow—that they will fall. But you are not like that, for you have been chosen by God himself—you are priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God’s very...

DON’T DO GOD LIKE THAT!

What I’m about to say may seem like I’m transparently griping and complaining, but I’m not. Instead, I am hoping! Let me explain. The markwritesdaily.com admin site does not give me any metrics to determine exactly how many people are reading the meditation published on any given day. Instead, I have to look at the replies for a handful of regular responders, and occasional surprise...

YOUR PEACE

“Glory to God in the highest , and on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.” (Luke 2:14 The Amplified Bible) This meditation is for all believers! Good news! Because you have reconciled your relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you have peace with Him. That’s your peace! Hallelujah! And because of your relationship with Jesus, embodying and exhibiting His principles...

INSIGNIFICANT TO SIGNICANT (ROW WITH IT!)

“Now a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, ‘Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.’ So Elisha said to her, ‘What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?’ And she said, ‘Your servant has nothing in the house...

THE FORMULA FOR A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY

“The word of the Lord which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife inclined to infidelity, and children of infidelity; for the land commits flagrant...

REAL SWEETNESS FOR THE SOUL

ByDr. Mark July 14, 2026 2 Comments
“How sweet is the taste of your instructions—sweeter even than honey!” (Psalm 119:23 Good News Translation) For a little over two months, I went without drinking my habitual one cup of coffee in the morning. I tried decaf coffee, but my body said, in more ways than one, “You ain’t fooling me!” So, I brought back out my turquoise coffee cup that says, “No Coffee, No Talkie," and I...

AIN’T NO STOPPING YOU NOW!

This is your Monday Short meditation. To be sure that for once I really keep this short, let me share a quote form Rick Renner, taken from his book, Sparkling Gems From The Greek Volume I. He says, “Absolutely nothing can keep you from doing what God has put in your heart – not your education, status in society, political affiliation, or physical appearance. None of these factors will have...

WHEN YOU LEAVE CHURCH TODAY

“In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.” (Luke 10:30 NIV) First of all, notice that the title starts with the word “When,” and not the word “If.” You see, I’m assuming, or at least hoping that you will be in the assembly of the saints...

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT

“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.’” (John 1:40-42 NASB) What I am about to share with you is a personal testimony included in a book I published, Copyright 2006. It was written by Dr. Gloria Berlnga King; yes, my wife.  Here is what she had to say after hearing a message with the same title as the one used for this meditation. The text was rooted in the Apostle Paul’s...
