WHAT’S YOUR BEST?

The question in the above title has nothing to do with your best food, your best show, or your bestie, or you best time ever. But make no mistake, it does have something to do with YOU. Since you made it through the first sentence, and I appreciate you for doing so, let me explain and expand, so that you will be able to respond in an exact and expected way. First, know that I’m not asking YOU...

THE BURGER & ALL THE CONDIMENTS

This is your Sunday Share meditation, one that is certainly worth communicating to you in a concise way. Pastor M.R. King took his position at the pulpit, prepared to do what the Lord called him to do prior to his birth, while he was still in his mother’s womb. Incorporate in his introductory remarks, Pastor used two examples that easily enticed the congregation and the virtual viewing...

THE DUBS

“There is none like You, Lord; You are great, and Your name is great in might.” (Jeremiah 10:6 NASB) No, you did not accidentally click on ab NBA sports update site. This meditation has nothing to do with a Western Conference team with multiple championships that uses “Dubs” as shorthand version of the team’s first letter in their formal name; the letter W. Also, please note that...

WHAT ABOUT THE LAST THING YOU DID?

“You should each judge your own conduct.” (Galatians 6:4a Good News Translation) This is your Monday “Short” meditation. Like a surgeon, strategically trained and equipped with specialized skills, carefully performs an operation on a patient, and following the prescribed steps to perform a major procedure, I moved from aisle to aisle, purchasing the items on the shopping list that had...

BUT GOD

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:26 The Amplified Bible) There was something I needed to do, but I couldn’t do it by myself. I had no one to depend on; no, I had no one else – but God. There was a need to beat the devil, yet time after time, I could not get it done. No person I knew could help me win, no...

ANOTHER MEETING! THE EXCEPTION!

“If you had to identify, in one word, why the human race has not achieved, and will never achieve its full potential, that word would be meetings!’” (Quote by Dave Barry on Goodreads) In the workplace there are numeral meetings that many people dread. You know that I’m right about it. There is the Monday staff meeting, the early Monday executive team meeting, the late Monday afternoon...

CARING BARELY?

“Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. ‘Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?’ He answered, ‘What’s written in God’s Law? How do you interpret it?’ He said, ‘That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.’ ‘Good answer!’...

CAN’T STOP THIS!

“So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!’ A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.” (Daniel...

IT’S MORE THAN BATHROOM DÉCOR!

This morning I’m going to try to convey something major with a scarce number of words. In the guest bathroom downstairs, there is a wooden plaque that says, “Wash your hands and say your prayer because Jesus and herms are everywhere.” This was concise, but perhaps for some, it will bring about a change. Remember wherever you may be today, the songwriter said it correctly, “Jesus is on...

MAKING BIG THINGS OUR OF SMALL THINGS

Let’s look at three perspectives related to “making big things out of small things.” Quickly, we will look at it from the view of a second grader, the view of a slacker, and then the view of the Savior. A second grader had completed a Q&A administered by his teacher. One of the questions was, “When you stub your toe, is that a big thing or a small thing?” While the faces of many...
