REHASSLE!

ByDr. Mark April 14, 2026 2 Comments
“Can we all get along?” (Rodney King, 1992) According to the Urban Dictionary, the term rehassle is defined as a “very unwanted rehearsal” and is used commonly among professional musicians to describe a rehearsal that is not enjoyable or necessary.” When I sat down to write this morning, I intended to compliment church choirs, including the one at the church I attend, for actually...

“So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam...

Purify yourselves in the process of worship, carrying the holy vessels of God.  But you don’t have to be in a hurry. You’re not running from anybody! God is leading you out of here, and the God of Israel is also your rear guard.” (Isaiah 52:11-12...

“Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money. Peter and...

Frustrated by the fact that in spite of going to church regularly, in spite of hearing countless sermons, in spite of attending weekly bible study classes, an individual began to wonder why things were not changing for the better in his life. First, I responded, sometimes the destination named “Better” is not arrived at quickly by divine design. I elaborated to utter the familiar phrase,...

GET IN THE GAME!

This is your Monday Short meditation, inspired by Pastor M.R. King in Sunday School yesterday. In basketball, only five players can be on the floor for your team at one time. In baseball, you can field nine players at a time. In football, the defense is allowed to have 11 players on the field at the same time. The same is true for the offense in football. In volleyball you are allowed six...

“When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain, or when I command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence on My people, if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:11-14 Modern English Version) At a...

“That day about three thousand took him at his word, were baptized and were signed up.  They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers.  Everyone around was in awe—all those wonders and signs done through the apostles!  And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common.  They sold whatever they...

“You must learn the difference between what is holy and what isn't holy and between the clean and the unclean.” (Leviticus 10:10 Contemporary English Version) The title for this Sunday morning’s meditation was essentially to entice you.  I have no T-shirts for sell.  I only have a short message to share, one that I asked participants in our church’s Bible Study classes to jot...
