DON’T FORGET TO CLOCK IN!

This is your Monday Short meditation! Whether you are unemployed, if you have ascended to the top tier of the organization chart at your place of employment, or if you are somewhere in between, I need to tell you, believer, “Don’t forget to clock in!” Regardless of your status, it is time to go to work! I’m for real! Dress yourself appropriately, meaning clothe yourself in righteousness...

DEALING WITH KNOCKDOWNS IN LIFE

“The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have...

SHORTEST SERMON IN HISTORY!

“Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, ‘Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overthrown.’” (Jonah 3:4 NASB) The shortest sermon in history is found in the scripture above, eight words preached by Jonah, “Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Now, I cannot promise you that the specific message that God will send by His...

D&I IN THE CHURCH

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus .” (Galatians 3:28 Amplified Bible) Here is a debate you can win! If you are ever asked is their diversity and inclusion in the church, just say, “Yes.” You will see it today in your sanctuary. It doesn’t matter if there is no mixture of...

IN A NUTSHELL

Tomorrow, Sunday, you will enter the house of the Lord for worship. That’s not a commandment from me, but rather a choice you have to make. It’s not a hypnotic suggestion, not and hyperbole, but rather it is just me hoping that you will be in the special presence of the Lord at your church, or if you don’t have a church home, the church that you choose to visit. That opening paragraph was...

THE WOODS OF LIFE

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.!” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB) A scoutmaster told his four most senior scouts that he was going to take them on a night exercise in a deep wooded area. He gave each one of the young men a list of things they should be sure to bring, one of them being a...

NEXT?

“Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.” (Colossians 3:2 NASB) This is your Monday Short meditation. Unless the Lord says otherwise, today, December 1, 2025, starts the last month that I will be publishing daily on markwritesdaily.com, not missing a day over the last 9 years. My anointing as a minister of the gospel has not changed, but my...

GOD IS IN THE NEXT!

“When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2 The Living Bible) We have heard the term “when” used to refer to something in the future; a time yet to come. “when I get older,”...

THE THREE STRANDS

“Also, one can be overpowered, but two together can put up resistance. A three-ply cord doesn’t easily snap.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12 Complete English Bible) Praise God for being able to see a new day, and not just any “new day,” but Sunday, the Lord’s Day! Like the three strands in the three-ply cord above, you can experience: (1) Being in the assembly of the saints, you will be equipped...
