ByDr. Mark July 16, 2026 1 Comment

“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 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.

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...

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...

“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...

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

“One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (which translated means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas (which is...

REGULARLY REVIEW YOUR KPI!

ByDr. Mark July 9, 2026 2 Comments

During my secular career, working as part of the senior management team for a large distribution center of one of the top retailers in the country, the team would regularly evaluate our performance versus established KPI, “Key Performance Indicators.” We would review performance versus our KPI at the beginning of the week, throughout the workweek, and at the end of the week.

MAKING A CALL TO A DISTANT PLACE

ByDr. Mark July 7, 2026 2 Comments

“The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” (Proverbs 15:39 The Berean Standard Bible) Making international calls, calls to a distant place, can be challenging due to a mix of technical, procedural, and regulatory factors. In searching the Internet, I found that it could take a long time, just as in the case I just described above. These factors include the...
