ByDr. Mark November 15, 2025 4 Comments
Back in the day, Saturday was laundry day at our house. Nowa days, I prefer Tuesdays, being at home during the day as a retiree. But listen, if you are preparing to wash the clothes this morning, that stack of clothes that have been piling up during the week(s), know that what I am about to tell you will benefit you who have been washed in the blood of the crucified One, Jesus the Christ. You...

“But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” (Hebrews 3:13 NASB) If you do not read any further this morning, please benefit from the words in the opening verse. However, if you choose to read on, you will benefit even more as it relates to the subject of encouragement. A young boy,...

I’M TAKING THAT CHANCE!

Wednesday’s meditation was entitled, “Now You Have A Chance.” Well,  this morning I am going to exemplify that saying, “Don’t just do as I say, but do as I do.” In other words, while I have a chance, I want to send you these words of comfort, all taken from the Scriptures. Maybe one of them will be just right for you today. Be encouraged, my friend!  I’m taking that...

“How grateful I am and how I praise the Lord that you are helping me again. I know you have always been anxious to send what you could, but for a while you didn’t have the chance.” (Philippians 4:10 The Living Bible) Perhaps you were going through your own troubles, too consumed with your personal problems to show kindness to someone who deserved it. But now, since your troubles have been...

THAT’S HOW WE DO!

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6 NASB) Sunday, I heard a powerful message from our Pastor, entitled "Put the Pen Down!" As always, God sends a specific message for a specific purpose, specifically for us as individuals. The morning message spoke to me because like Lot who tried to...

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13 NASB) This Sunday morning, before you head out to church, I want to share something about my weekly encounter with a kindergartener. You will get both a laugh and a lesson as you read on. The latter, the lesson, will help you when things...

SYMMETRICAL DESIGN

ByDr. Mark November 8, 2025 2 Comments
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.”(Genesis 1:27 NKJV) Symmetrical design, or symmetrical balance, is a concept where both sides of something mirror one another. I use this design approach in decorating the interior of my home. Examples: If one wall on the side of the living room window has two pictures mounted on...

ICY HOT FAITH

“Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.” (Matthew 17:20 The Message Bible) In yesterday’s meditation, I informed you that I would share another sub-point, one of major...

Let me approach you differently today but still speak directly to your heart. Dear friend, you have a decision to make every time that God sends you a specific message, a message with no details omitted, but clearly specified in His communication to you. Listen! Don’t miss the details in the message! The decision you have to make is clear when you look at two Biblical passage relevant to...
