JUST SKIP IT!

ByDr. Mark August 10, 2024 0 Comments
When you open your Internet on any given day, there will be some entries that suggest that Christianity is obsolete, the word of God is outdated, and the church itself is obsolete. A sense of urgency unraveled in my heart, and I sense that in undeniable service I must share three words to help you this morning; help keep you from being drawn away and start drifting from the faith or to start...

THE NUMBERS TELL US WHY

ByDr. Mark June 6, 2024 0 Comments
“Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall...

CHATTER OR WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

ByDr. Mark March 12, 2024 0 Comments
“These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.”...

DO NOT FORGET!

ByDr. Mark March 4, 2024 0 Comments
“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments and His judgments (precepts) and His statutes which I am commanding you today; otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have increases, then your heart will...

KEEP ON WALKING & KEEP ON TALKING

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.” (Hebrews 11:30 NIV) As you celebrate the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, you will probably hear a sampling of some of the civil rights songs of the sixties.  One of them you might hear is based on the spiritual, “Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around.”  We know it most likely as,...

THE GIFTS NOT TO BE HIDDEN

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 NASB) As children, the closer it got to Christmas morning, the cleverer we got on secret missions, searching in the same way that a stranded stranger looks for water in a dry desert land, investigating in the absence of the adults all through our houses, trying to find where...

DON’T PETER OUT!

ByDr. Mark September 2, 2023 0 Comments
“Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house.  But Peter followed at a distance.  Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.  And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”  But he denied Him, saying,...

WE ALL DO IT!

“I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.  My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.” (Psalm 34:1-2 KJV) Yes, we all do it!  We tell our electronic device to play one of those old non-church tunes from back in time, the ones you dance to, either in public or private; the ones which take you back to the...
