“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe.  These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and...

SINCE SOMEBODY ASKED

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NLT) This will make sense if you have been keeping up with the Mark Writes publications and you read yesterday’s meditation that challenge all believers, including self, to not be a hidden figure when it comes to letting our light shine. One young person wrote back and asked for input to ensure they would not...

WHEN PAIN IS POSITIVE

ByDr. Mark January 1, 2023 0 Comments
I have been on the receiving end of a stranger blessing me unexpectedly.  Let me show you what I mean.  Driving at a toll booth during the time when people manned the toll booths, on two occasions, I pulled up, ready to pay my toll and I was informed that the person in front of me had paid for it.  It apparently was painless, at least that is what I deducted from the smile on the...

“I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.  He is ever merciful and lends; and his descendants are blessed.” (Psalm 37:25-26 NKJV) At family gathering, children often have to sit at the little table.  If it is a large gathering, young and middle-aged adults tend to sit with those who are in a similar age bracket or...

DEALING WITH THOSE STUBBORN KNOTS

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1 NIV) As you may know, I have never been the greatest in tying shoes that stay tied all day.  Repeatedly, almost daily, my effort to master the art of tying my shoelaces is evident by my undone strings.  Many days, my focused effort fails, and I end up with a knot that I believe would challenge the most skilled...

YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!

“And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain—for He says, “At a favorable time I listened to you, and on a day of salvation I helped you.”  Behold, now is “a favorable time,” behold, now is “a day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:1-2) Traveling to Los Angeles from Indianapolis, my wife and I had a stop at Dallas to catch another...

NOW!

“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (I Timothy 1:17 NIV) How many times when you were younger did an authoritative figure move you into action to do what you were supposed to be doing with one simple word, “Now!”  Yes, this one word was spoken with a tone that revealed the seriousness surrounding your need to take...

“Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth; Yours is the dominion, Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.  Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.” (I Chronicles...

“The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.  And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human ]measurements, which are also angelic measurements.” (Revelation 21:16-17  NASB) A medical news report said the length of the intestines in people...

ONE IS GREATER THAN…

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 KJV) Are you ready for a brief Sunday morning lesson before you leave for church or while you are sitting in your pew waiting for service to begin?  The lesson: With the exception of zero, one (1) is greater than any other number.  Preposterous you proclaim!  Ridiculous you rapidly...
