“He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted, but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:29-31 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition) This is your Monday Short...

THE SIMPLE LIFE

“The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” (Genesis 2:15-17 NLT) Life seems complicated, confusing, and complex, and full of treacherous twists, trying times, and...

“They arrived at Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?” But they kept quiet, because on the road they had discussed and debated with one another which one was the greatest.” (Mark 9:33-34 The Amplified Bible) To get started, before I get to the suggested stipulation, deducted from the text above, for...

THE DECISION

“Blessed is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12 The Amplified Bible) First, know that this has nothing to do with Cleveland, Miami, or any other basketball team. Now, with that disclaimer out of the way,...

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14 King James Version) It’s the month of March, the time of the year, as it relates to college basketball. It is known as March Madness. Yes, it’s the time of the year where multiple TV stations carry very competitive games, coached by great coaches, masterminds of what they call the...

A FEW PROFOUND WORDS ON BEING FULLY BLESSED

ByDr. Mark March 19, 2025 0 Comments
When someone asks you, “How are doing today,” realizing you were just blessed to see another day, you just might answer, “Blessed by the best.” That’s absolutely true, but I have a question for you to answer. Will you be able to say, “I’m fully blessed?” If you are, then I am sure you would be able to place a checkmark by a few words on being blessed, spoken by Jesus. Here are...

METHODOLOGY THAT MATTERS

ByDr. Mark March 18, 2025 0 Comments
In the late 1990’s I worked for a top manufacturer of audio equipment for automobiles. Across the company this organization had adopted the 5S approach, a system that included guidelines for organizing the workplace. They include, Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. While these guidelines were effective in the workplace and while they can be applied to how you keep your home...

DO I WANT BE IN THAT NUMBER?

ByDr. Mark March 17, 2025 0 Comments
This is your Monday Short meditation! There was a Pew Research Study done in 2014. It revealed at that time that 55% of Americans prayed daily! While I think the times that we live in presently, one would acknowledge that this percentage would increase. I would be surprised, stumped, and shocked to find out that it has stayed at status quo or sunk to a lower percentage. Here’s the question for...

After reading it, print it out and post it in one or three places in your home. Place # 1: The refrigerator. Remove, temporarily, all the papers and pretty pictures and creative...

THE PREACHER, THE PEOPLE, THE PICTURE, & THE PERCULIAR PRISIM

ByDr. Mark March 15, 2025 0 Comments
The preacher referred to in the title above is yours truly. The picture is what appeared on my laptop screen after I logged in Thursday morning. Perhaps your PC had the same picture. Different than the people who just looked at the picture admiring its beauty and perhaps even going so far as to analyzing it further, the preacher looked at the picture from the peculiar prism that he uses to apply...
