AFTER YOU ARE BLESSED FOR BEING A BLESSING

ByDr. Mark June 12, 2024 0 Comments
Today’s meditation is the sequel that I promised to provide after yesterday’s meditation, “Are You Looking For A Blessing,” in which you were challenged by these words, “If you want a blessing, be a blessing.” Confident that you will consult God’s word below, and because it is a long passage, in the eyes of some, unusually long perhaps, but undeniably profitable, I will be concise....

Let’s be honest with ourselves this Tuesday morning, okay? All of us are looking for a blessing of some sort. Yes, you know I’m right! It may be a physical blessing, a relationship blessing, a career blessing, an approval of something you applied for type of blessing, a transportation blessing, a safe travel blessing, a blessing for a loved one, for we are not selfish, right? Bless your...

“Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses while this house remains desolate?” Now then, the Lord of armies says this: “Consider your ways! You have sown much, only to harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become...

“So, all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.” (Matthew 1:17 ESV) Summers calendars are filled with schedule family reunions. A lot of stories will be related in love about relatives that have since gone home to be with the...

CARTEL de MADERAS (THE WOODEN SIGNS)

ByDr. Mark June 7, 2024 0 Comments
Some time ago I brought a set of six square wooden signs, each 5x5 inches. They are small, but they all have a simple message inscribed on them to inspire the one who sees them. Recently I moved all but two of the signs from the area I have refer to as my home office to a room downstairs where they will match some natural wood décor. Yes, I am always moving things. Compulsive? Maybe!  But...

“Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall...

“Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosymet him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, ‘Jesus, Master, have pity on us!’ When he saw them, he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed.” (Luke 17:11-14 NIV) Do you...

PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS IN THE CHURCH

 “What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward...
