REALITY VERSUS DUALITY

ByDr. Mark October 26, 2025 0 Comments
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” (Matthew 6:24a Amplified Bible) Digest this thought my friend. Duality is not a reality for you. Other things can master you, such as a desire for popularity, worldly trends, money and more money, a special person, hobbies, the sport season that gets...

DON’T LET ANYBODY CHANGE YOUR NAME!

“In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord handed Jehoiakim king of Judah over to him, along with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his god. Then the king told Ashpenaz,...

SCOURGE THE HOUSE!

“Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she’ll call her friends and neighbors: ‘Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!’ Count on it—that’s the kind of party God’s angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God.” (Luke 15:8-10...

SHAMAR

A local pastor gifted me a book entitled “100 Names of God.” The author, Christopher D. Hudson, writes in the Introduction of the book, “In the Bible, we discover dozens of names and titles for God. Each on of these names reveals some facet of God’s nature or reminds us of His dealings with humankind.” The author adds. “This little book is not exhaustive, focuses brief attention on...

IN THAT DREAM…

“’If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—'If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive. When their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us. The stream would have [gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have one over our soul....

THE SERVING HEART

ByDr. Mark October 21, 2025 0 Comments
“The greatest among you must be a servant.” (Matthew 23:11 NLT) A heart that is conditioned to serve never stops serving. If someone has already made that statement, please know that I have not heard it and I am not borrowing a quote. That statement is something that came to my mind as I was recently comparing my father’s life after retirement with my own the life after retiring, somewhat....

THE CLICKING

ByDr. Mark October 19, 2025 0 Comments
In the inside of my garage, there are four different types of sweepers and one wet-dry vac. When I looked at them acting like they were holding up one of the walls of the garage, I said to myself, “How many sweepers does it take to sweep the house.”  We surely have enough now. But I thought back to years ago, during the mid-1980’s and we did not have a good sweeper. I take that back. I...

SEARCHING FOR THE GOOD ONES

ByDr. Mark October 18, 2025 2 Comments
“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” (Psalms 119:71 NLT) Don’t let the title of this meditation mislead you. This is not about searching for one of the few good men or good women that are so hard to find. This is not about finding a good deal or a good dining place. It is not about a so-called sure way to lose weight or ways to gain weight. It...

THE STRONGER CORD

ByDr. Mark October 17, 2025 2 Comments
“And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12 NASB) This is an era where good jobs seem scarce and hard to find. It is a situation than messes with the sanity of one’s mind, especially as the clock of urgent needs and obligations continues to unwind. You apply online, and your resume looks fine, but...
