“Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17 Amplified Bible) I’m sure that you have experienced what I am about to share with you.  A couple of days ago, I went into a business, and got in a very long line, waiting my turn to be helped by the organization’s representatives who had the...

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” (Psalm 23:1 NLT) Two 8-year-old twins, Betty and Beatrice, had been allowed to spend Friday night at one of their friends.  Not often did their single, hardworking, churchgoing mother allow the children to do an overnighter.  But after their whining, crying, begging, and pleading, “Please Mommy!  Please Mommy!  Pretty Please!,” the...

“But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had left Me.”  Now when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and admitted in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.  And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”...

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” (Psalm 145:18 ESV) First of all, before I start, let me apologize to for writing Genesis as the Book for our meditation yesterday.  It was Exodus.  Typing early in the morning, well, that happens.  For you who might have caught it, great job in checking out the scripture,  Keep doing it! ...

“The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening.  When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people?  Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”  Moses answered him, “Because the people...

“But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them.  So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel.  Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the region.”  So the men went up and spied out Ai. ...

“Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.” (Psalm 50:15 The Amplified Bible) I sat down to write this morning, just as I have done daily, going into the sixth year.  Praise God!  Often, I don’t know what I am going to write about until the Lord brings something to my attention.  Today, I looked at one of the pop-up...

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8 NASB) You cannot change your TV channel during this time of the year without coming across a basketball game or a football game.  Just in case you are one of those individuals who hold the remote with a firm grip and you quickly scan to another story before someone else...

“The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results.” (James 5:16b) The Living Bible) After being a road runner for over 35 years, an accomplishment that takes determination, dedication, and discipline; after competing in the Indy 600 Mini-Marathon for twenty years; after running the full distance in the Chicago Marathon, after running in countless shorter distance...

AT THE CRACK OF DARK THIRTY

ByDr. Mark January 2, 2023 0 Comments
At 2:41 a.m. yesterday morning, I received an email from a first cousin who I have called “Little M” for, let’s just say a long time.  Because of age and not accomplishments, nor  academic achievements, not because of writing acumen, or any other factor, just age mind you, she refers to me as “Big M.”  If it were any of the few factors I just named, our nicknames probably would be...
