IMAGES OF FAB

ByDr. Mark January 7, 2022 0 Comments
Let me share with you some images in regard to FAB.  No, not the present-day laundry detergent that comes in liquid or powder form.  And not the anti-bacterial laundry detergent that you can still find on the shelves.  Are you still guessing about FAB?  Well, it is not the washing power that I remember back in the third grade at my house, back in the days.  Back then, as...

“Then Moses confronted Pharaoh: “God’s Message: ‘At midnight I will go through Egypt and every firstborn child in Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl working at her hand mill.  Also, the firstborn of animals.  Widespread wailing will erupt all over the country, lament such as has never been and never will be again....

“Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will but Thine will be done.” (Luke 22:42 NASB) Do you remember the Rubik’s Cube?  Yes, that toy; that three-dimensional combination puzzle, seemingly found in every house and even some offices.  It had six faces or sides made up of small square cubes, colored white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow.  To...

“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13 NASB) Yesterday, in fact to be more precise, about five hours ago, I was walking through the dining room while my wife was on a conference call.  I tip-toed quietly to the living room and headed on my way back to my bedroom...

“One day at three o’clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting.  At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up.  Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple.  When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout.  Peter, with...

THIS AIN’T NO SCOUT PLEDGE!

“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13) As Christians, most if us have used the verse before as if it is some type of boy scout pledge, girl scout pledge, or a saying that has been passed on in our culture, from one generation to the other.  It goes right along with other sayings that are intended to project our faith and confidence in...

“He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness and honor.” (Proverbs 21:21) A faithful deacon at our church has grown leaps and bounds since he came to Christ.  His interest in the word of God is incredible.  He has read completely through the Bible, more than once.  He has done a theme based or topical study.  He loves verse by verse studies. ...

“The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.” (Job 17:9 NLT) When you were young and glad it was winter break, you were excited at first.  Then came the long days where you were bored to tears and it took the cheering up or encouragement of parent to have you show some resilience; the ability to bounce back.  This was followed by using your...
