THE HODGE PODGE DINNER

ByDr. Mark March 28, 2025 0 Comments
“If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job...

DELIVERING “THE LETTER” ON TIME

ByDr. Mark March 27, 2025 2 Comments
Do you recall going to the mailbox, multiple times a day, looking for a letter from a special loved one? I know you do. You went to the mailbox in the late morning hours, early in the afternoon, and just before sunset, hoping to get this letter. If it was not delivered on the day that you expected it to be delivered, you went through the same routine the next day. As a matter of fact, you...

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will advise you with My eye upon you.} (Psalm 32:8 NASB) If you live in a large city, a mid-size city or even a small town, but increasingly growing town that was once considered a village located just outside a larger metropolitan district, the words of wisdom I will give to you today are applicable. Let me start with a...

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!

“Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (I Kings 19:9 NASB) I have a question for you to answer when you are having one of those days where you feel down, depressed, or disconnected with reasons to rejoice. When you start having a pity party, a poor “woe is me”...

“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...
