CHANGELESS AND CHANGES

ByDr. Mark February 6, 2021 0 Comments
Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.  They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing.  You will change them like a garmentand discard them.  But you are always the same; you will live forever.” (Psalm 102:25-27 NLT) We know that God does not change.  He is changeless!  He is love!  He is...

POSTSCRIPTUM

“Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.” (Revelation 1:19) Today’s meditation is a P.S., a postscript, or in the Latin origin a postscriptum.  Rather than title it a sequel to yesterday’s topic on “Why So Many Strays,” the Spirit moved me to name it otherwise to make sure I got your...

“My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.” (James 5:19-20 NLT) Wednesday while dressing I turned the TV on to a station that featured a show where the main character traveled to various...

“Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.” (Proverbs 12:19 NIV) Often a fictitious story starts out with the intent of being funny, but finds its way to the factual truth.  So I’m just going to go straight to the truth.  I will admit I have been guilty of lying when asked about the new shirt that I put on, declaring, “Oh, I had this for some awhile...

SPIRITUAL DRYNESS

“The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.  He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.  He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Psalm 37:1-3 NIV) In spite of not spending a lot of time outside and in spite...

WEATHER OR NOT

ByDr. Mark February 1, 2021 0 Comments
“A faithful person will be richly blessed...” (Proverbs 20:8a NIV) “Weather” was not a typo or misspelling in the title above.  Granted that happens to the best of us at one time or the other.  But that is not the case this morning.  Let me explain.  Frequently when I venture out on these dreary, cold, and sometimes snowy days, I see a man who I would guess is my age,...

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.  She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.” (Proverbs 31:26-27 NKJV) From 1967 until 1971, as I’m sure I told you before, I worked at a local television station, an affiliate of NBC.  My primary job was “Film & Tape Librarian.”  My job was to get edited...

BUT YOU

ByDr. Mark January 30, 2021 0 Comments
“But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted.  They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires.  These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you.  They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.  But you, dear friends,...

WHAT’S NEXT?

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy is everlasting.” (Psalm 107:1 NASB) I’ll admit it!  Because I can turn on the radio and listen to a couple of my sons in their radio talent jobs, I do check them out to see what they are playing and saying (smile).  One of the songs I heard recently was “Thank You, Next,” by Ariana Grande whose overall theme in her...

A PRESCRIPTION FOR EVERY STATE OF ANXIETY

“So, humble yourselves under God’s strong hand, and in his own good time he will lift you up.  You can throw the whole weight of your anxieties upon him, for you are his personal concern.” (I Peter 5:7 J.B. Phillips New Testament) Silently, like a skilled scoundrel who is set on stealing your serenity, crushing your contentment, and serving as satanic-like stimuli, situated so as to steer...
