“Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you.” (2 Corinthians 3:2b The Message Bible) Good Tuesday morning to you!  I have been writing Mark Writes since the beginning of 2018.  From then to now I have given you a few assignments, took the liberty of setting themes for you, and even prompted you to fulfill our task as disciples; making other disciples...

NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

“He who watches the wind will not sow , and he who looks at the clouds will not reap .” (Ecclesiastes 11:4 The Amplified Bible) This is not a lesson on agriculture, it is a lending of advice to help you all throughout the week.  It deals with procrastination.  You know how we are.  We say, “This is the week ‘m going to get a home improvement project done,” but we...

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” (Proverbs 4:20-22 KJV) I remember that day when you visited the doctor, you got your shot and were told to contact the office if you have any problems.  Yes, the only...

THE NUMBER ONE FILTER

“And His disciples asked Him…”(John 9:2a) We use filters in many ways!  We have filters for our furnaces, filters for our cars, water filters, electronic filers, fuel filters, and swimming pool filters, just to name a few.  They all block out some types of impurity, dirt, or unwanted elements.  This assures us that we get the best performance or the best quality in the...

THE REVOLVING DOOR

“Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing.” (Philippians 2:4 The Living Bible) A fun-loving child who loved to play games accompanied his parents to a downtown building to take care of some important personal matters.  Once their business was completed, the three family members, mom, dad, and son, approach the revolving...

GREAT PLAY!

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.” (I Thessalonians 5:11 NASB) It is the end of a basketball game.  The score is tied.  The home team has possession of the ball and there are twenty-two seconds left in the game.  The coach calls a timeout and diagrams a play, and as all good communicators, he checks for understanding before...

TRUTH

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 ESV) Primary education, in my days, centered around the basics, the three “Rs,” Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic.  Today, the students seem more interested in three “Cs”, Computers, Code” and Complex topics. I guess if you wanted to add to the three “Cs,” you could add cafeteria breaks and...

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases” (Psalm 103:1-3 NASB) Yesterday afternoon, I let the enemy have me focusing on the negative, as opposed to the positive.  Yes, he was messing with my mind, trying to put pity in the place of...

SOAK

“When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing.” (Hebrews 6:7 NLT) I won’t send this meditation out until 12:01 EST.  But know that I started writing it at 11:00 a.m.  You might ask, “Why in the world are you up so early Mark King?”  I asked the same question.  At first, I thought it was because when I turned...

THE STRUCTURE THAT IS YOU

“Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God.  Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart.  I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present.  There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who...
