REMEMBER!

ByDr. Mark November 1, 2026 2 Comments
“Honor and enjoy your Creator while you’re still young, before the years take their toll and your vigor wanes, before your vision dims and the world blurs and the winter years keep you close to the fire.  In old age, your body no longer serves you so well.  Muscles slacken, grip weakens, joints stiffen.  The shades are pulled down on the world.  You can’t come and go at...

DON’T DEBATE, JUST DECLARE

ByDr. Mark October 15, 2026 2 Comments
“God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality).” (John 4:24 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) As you engage in personal evangelism, inevitably you will run into some folks who will want to argue about the divine origin and nature of the Bible. My advice is, as follows: "Don’t Debate, Just Declare." Maintain your peaceful,...

“For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20 ESV) Jerry was called unexpectedly to the Human Resources office at his workplace. As we walked slowly to meet with the HR Manager, he tried to figure out why in the world he would be called to the office. After all, his most recent performance review showed that he exceeded expectations. And it could not be because of...

“So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the...

THERE IS STILL ROOM!

“’For that reason, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision, but continually proclaimed to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem, and then all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they are to repent and turn to God, performing deeds consistent with repentance. For these reasons some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to murder...

I GUESS NO ONE IS EXEMPT!

Someone asked me the other day, “Is anybody exempt from what your T-Shirt says?” That person was referring to the T-Shirt I have that says, “Be careful what you say or do, I just might write about it.”  My quick reply was, “No one!’ After I walked away, thinking about the challenge that churches face today to grow their congregations, I thought about my response for a minute. In...

“Then the master told the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled  .” (Luke 14:23 amplified Bible) Last week I attended another church’s recovery ministry to see my son in action, leading those in attendance. One of the things that he emphasized was that instead of holding in the difficulty that is disturbing...

“Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the...

YOU ARE LICENSED!

“And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.” (John 21:6 King James Version) In most cases, and I say that because there are some exceptions; in most cases people who work hard to get a license, professional or for recreational purposes, they do what they have...

SAVING PUTS A PAUSE ON SELF-SERVING

“In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a...
