“She is a woman of strength and dignity and has no fear of old age. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule for everything she says. She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household and is never lazy. Her children stand and bless her; so does her husband. He praises her with these words:‘There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of...

HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS?

ByDr. Mark March 11, 2024 0 Comments
“God blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won't follow sinners or join in sneering at God. Instead, they find happiness in the Teaching of the Lord, and they think about it day and night. They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do.” (Psalm 1:1-3 Modern English Version) Are you...

“WHEN MY DADDY HAD A JOB!”

“Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don’t make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won’t be applauding. When you do something for someone else, don’t call attention to yourself. You’ve seen them in action, I’m sure—‘playactors’ I call them—treating prayer meeting and street corner alike as a stage, acting...

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” (Romans 3:23 NLT) Some of you are still laughing at the error you stumbled on towards the end of this past Saturday’s meditation.  If you are not still laughing, your initial response, at the least was, “What!”  I got it right on the blog site, but to those who I send the meditations to via email,...

“No one has ever gone to heaven and returned.  But the Son of Man has come down from heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have...

“When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.  And a man with leprosy came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.  Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.”  And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” (John 14:6-7 NASB) This Monday Short meditation emphasizes...

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version) You are probably way more technical savvy then me, so I am sure you are familiar with the terms in today’s...

“I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.” (Psalm 139:14The Amplified Bible) Paying attention to detail, a passerby noticed pictures of four flowers on art canvases.  They were orange, eye-catching, and immediately caught the eye of the beholder.  Surrounded by other art, these flowers demanded...

THANK GOD FOR HELPERS & “THE HELP!”

ByDr. Mark May 25, 2023 0 Comments
“Don’t put your life in the hands of experts who know nothing of life, of salvation life.  Mere humans don’t have what it takes; when they die, their projects die with them.  Instead, get help from the God of Jacob, put your hope in God and know real blessing!  God made sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it.  He always does what he says—he defends the wronged, he feeds the...

“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.” (Proverbs 24:33-44 English Standard Version) Here are two stories about two men, one an employee, and the other an enlistee in the army of the Lord; a church member. Let’s start with the first man, an employee, well I should say, an...
