“Now the Jews murmured and found fault with Him because He said, “I am the Bread that came down out of heaven.” They kept saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?” (John 6:41-42 The Amplified Bible) In third grade I was pulled out of my class a couple of times of the week to get...

“Then these   will go away into eternal (unending) punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God   into eternal (unending) life.” (Matthew 25:46 The Amplified Bible) You can file this short meditation under your “While At The Store” meditations.

“Praise him, young men and women, old people and children. Praise the Lord’s name!    Honor his name forever! His name is greater than any other.   He is more glorious than heaven and earth.” (Psalm 37:1-11 The Living Bible) A very young girl, traveling with her family on a weekend excursion to visit one of the country’s biggest aquariums and zoo, are just riding along and her...

“Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord .” (Colossians 3:20 The Amplified Bible) As you have noticed, the meditations I have written over the last seven and a half years could possibly be filed in boxes and stored in a small room similar to a company’s records room where they keep paper records for up to seven years before purging. If you...

UP MOMENTS

“Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John the brother of James and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And His appearance changed dramatically in their presence; and His face shone like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, “Lord, it...

“So, all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.” (Matthew 1:17 ESV) Summers calendars are filled with schedule family reunions.

“I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I’m rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious that in fact you’re a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.” (Revelation 3:16-17 The Message Bible)...

TECHNOLOGY VERSUS THE TENETS

ByDr. Mark May 26, 2024 0 Comments
“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8 NASB) When it comes to technology versus the tenets, the former changes, the latter does not change, never fade, stands forever. Do you remember when children could be told they had to go to be when TV went off, around 11:00 p.m. and that was on Friday nights only? Now, largely because of technology,...

“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.May integrity and uprightness protect me,...
