ESSENTIALLY OR EXCEPTIONALLY

ByDr. Mark August 28, 2026 5 Comments
“Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.” (I Corinthians 11:1 Christian Standard Bible) Some people or copycats, individuals who want to essentially wear or act in such a way that is modeled before them and therefore get social approval. There are others who prefer to be different, exceptionally unique, and might be thought of as trendsetters when it comes for fashion or behavioral traits. I...

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NASB) This is your Sunday Share meditation, comprised of a seven of the numerous notes that are scribbled on my bulletin. Notes that I wrote down as Rev. Marcus R. King, Salt Of The Earth Church (Indianapolis) spoke a...

NO GREATER JOY

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”(3 John 1:4 ESV) I talked my two oldest sons into playing with me in a regional three-on-three basketball game back in 1997.  I’ll spare you the math.  I was 48 years old.  While I’m the one who taught them how to play and still thought I had earned the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) distinction for our...

NOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN FILLED

“But He said, ‘More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’” (Luke 11:28 NKJV) Every week you and I go to the assembly of the saints. We did that a couple of days ago, right?  When we go, we are fed, filled by the sent message that comes in the form of the sermon, and sometimes the Sunday School lesson, and perhaps during a teaching emphasis presented by a...

This is your Monday Short meditation, for real this time! You may feel like many people; feel like you owe the Lord better in regard to living as one of His priests, one of His representatives on this earth. You should know it by now, but in case you don’t, let me tell you the Lord has a Fresh Start Program and all believers who come to Him with sincerity and come earnestly, they get in and...

GOD IS GOOD…

“I trust your love, and I feel like celebrating because you rescued me. You have been good to me, Lord, and I will sing about you.” (Psalm 13:5-6 Contemporary English Version) Last week I appealed to readers, requested followers, to respond in one of my meditations, explaining to me the saying, “God is good all the time.” To be honest, I thought my replies by readers would be so great...

A PILLOW, A BEAR, AND A BLANKET! OH MY!

“Oh sweet rest, O sweet rest, tis the rest of the soul so happy and blest…” (Excerpt from 1898 hymn by C.F.O.) Listen to this story! One of a father’s boys, at the age of 5, could not sleep peacefully without his very first pillow, small and rectangular in size, the pillow that he laid his head on soon after birth. Another one the father’s boys would not sleep without the stuffed brown...

REVIEW TIME

“Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12 NASB) In the workplace, periodically, usually semi-annually and/or annually, your boss gives you your annual review. If you have been performing your job as expected or even beyond expectations, there...

THE SUITS

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the...

DYOFMI

ByDr. Mark August 19, 2026 4 Comments
“For the Lord is good…” (Psalm 100:5 Amplified Bible) Call today’s meditation a DYOFMI! No, it's not a real word. I just made it up. There are two parts in my created word: (1) the DYO part, and (2) the FMI part. The first part, the DYO part, will give you an opportunity to be part of a meditation to be published later this week. All you have to do is to write me a reply,...
