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...

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME…

“And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.” (Mark 9:20-21 NASB) The purpose of today’s meditation is to equip you with a response to someone who...

“The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing , but the soul (appetite) of the diligent is rich and abundantly supplied.” (Proverbs 13:4 The Amplified Bible) Today, I’m going to give you a remedy to use when you start thinking, “I ain’t got nothing to do.”  The remedy: “Start doing something.” Instead of sitting around going out of your mind, start doing...

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” (Matthew 6:6-8 NIV) I shared...

ANOTHER CASE OF DÉJÀ VU

ByDr. Mark March 11, 2025 0 Comments
“Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers....

This is your Monday Short! Let me be really quick, really. Listen! You will hear really important announcements spoken over the overhead public address system in your school, the inner-office intercom system at your work, or the broadcast “Breaking News” on TV this week. You will hear loud announcements transmitted over the speakers at the various stores and malls that you will shop at this...

YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3 NASB) There was a crew of sewer repairmen working a couple houses down the street from where I live. I heard the noise of a truck and went to look out the living room window to see what was going on. I saw three men in bright, florescent green vests and a couple of co-workers wearing...

ARROGANCE, COMPLIMENTS, AND SUCCESS

“Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.” (A quotable quote by Roy T. Bennett found in Goodreads) You just read what an astute, wise person had to say about arrogance, compliments, and success. So, now let’s see what the Almighty, the...

THE WAIT & THE WHEREVER

“Let your conversation be gracious as well as sensible…” (Colossians 4:6a The Living Bible) The happening that I’m about to tell you took place in one of those “malls” that was once a large store, but now the property owner rents out booths to small merchandisers. A father is with his son who had to be between 3-4-years old. A lady at the meat counter seemed set on buying a little of...

WHEN THE GLOVE DON’T FIT

ByDr. Mark March 6, 2025 0 Comments
Years ago, I may have told you about my first baseball glove. I brought it at Jimmy’s Shoeshine place on east 16th Street in Indianapolis. When I purchased the glove, it was in the era where Hall of Famers like Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Cletis Boyer, And Whitey Ford were playing for the New York Yankees. I was still in elementary school and wanted to play on a Little League Team, one of the...
