IN THESE RARE TIMES

ByDr. Mark April 4, 2024 0 Comments

“Now the boy Samuel was attending to the service of the Lord under the supervision of Eli. The word of the Lord was rare and precious in those days; visions were not widespread. Yet it happened at that time, as Eli was lying down in his own place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well).and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in...

CLARIFICATION

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” (Matthew 38:18-20 NASB) The Lord does...

REAL LIFE

“And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” (Genesis 5:23-24 KJV) I was talking with a friend who is battling a physical condition. I admire him the way He is fighting his battle because of the fact that it has not altered his faith in God or changed his hope for the future. He never sounds down and his...

IT’S NOT CHEUGY!

This is your always appreciated Monday Short meditation, and it’s not an April Fool’s joke. Smile! When you are around a group of young people born after 1990, labeled as belonging to Generation Z, you may feel like a person traveling in a foreign country and you need a small translation guide on hand to interpret certain words or phrases. For example, one of the terms I heard recently was...

A REVIEW, A REVISITING, A REMINDER, OR A REAL REVELATION!

ByDr. Mark March 31, 2024 0 Comments

May you be blessed on this special day, a day that sparks reassurance for believers, saved by grace through faith! It is Resurrection Day, or as some of you refer to as Easter. Hopefully, if you use the latter term, it has a holy significance and not just another holiday significance. Hopefully, you focus on the devoted Lamb and not just the delicious ham you will eat later. I had thought about...

PREPARATION DAY

ByDr. Mark March 30, 2024 0 Comments

Today is your preparation day, as should be every Saturday, because I just know you spend a lot of time getting ready to enter the Lord’s house for worship every Sunday. You should be shaking your head up and down, in the affirmative. In times past, every Saturday, the Sunday meal was prepared in advance and the aroma from the food being readied made you hope that the night would really pass...

WHOA THERE!

There is a lot of buzz about the solar eclipse which will take place on April 8, 2024. But hold up! Whoa there! Yes, those in the direct path of the eclipse will see the sky change to a silvery, purply blue color, but it will not be 100% dark. But listen! Today you ought to stop your focusing on making sure your refrigerator is full, your car gas tank is filled, and all the additional things you...

COWBOYS TO GIRLS, CARS TO THE TRAIN

Hopefully, the title enticed you to read further to explore just why I chose that heading for today’s meditation. Every Monday, I get an email with a question to answer about my life in years past. My assignment is to author a small story that will be one of fifty-two narratives to be included in a small book. This week I was asked “Did I have a car in high school or college?” My response?...

A BETTER DEAL!

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 English Standard Version) Weeks ago, I saw a couple of vintage lamps that would be perfect for my home office. Initially I thought, “I just have to get them.” This rare find was at a thrift mall where various people rent booth space to sale new and used merchandise. From a...

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

“God takes care of his own, even while they sleep.” (Psalm 127:2b Contemporary English Version) Your anticipated Monday Short meditation has arrived! Listen for a minute or two! I got up early Saturday morning, around 2:20 a.m. I could have gotten a drink of water, stopped at the restroom and went back to bed. But that’s not what happened. Instead of resting, I started acting...
