SHAMAR

ByDr. Mark October 23, 2025 0 Comments
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

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

“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...

EMPTY SPACE

“The battle is not physical, it is spiritual, and your mind is the battleground. Keep your mind pure and positive.” (Quote by Jeanette Coron) Empty space can be a good thing or a bad thing. It’s a good thing when you find empty space in your closet, that is if you are not feeding a fashion, “Got to have it!” addiction. If you buy a piece of property that has empty space inside or...

TIME FOR A RIDDLE

“These are evil times, so make every minute count.” (Ephesians 5:16 Contemporary English Version) The Riddle: It’s not that we don’t have “it”. What is “it?” The Answer: Time. The Explanation: It’s not that we don’t have it. We just don’t use it. The Execution: Use your time wisely today, every moment. Have a good day!  Short one, right! Be blessed! “What may be done...

“Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord’s mighty power within you. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great...
