“While Peter and John were speaking to the people, some Jewish leaders came up to them. There were some priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and some Sadducees. They were upset because of what Peter and John were teaching the people. By telling people about Jesus, the apostles were teaching that people will rise from death. The Jewish leaders arrested Peter and John...

“Dictum Meum Pactum”

ByDr. Mark July 9, 2025 0 Comments
The title above is Latin for “My word is my bond.” Like you, I have heard many people use this phrase in my lifetime. I wondered what it really meant, so I did a little research. I found out that the saying is an idiom that means that a person’s promise or commitment is as reliable and trustworthy as a formal contract. When someone says this phrase, “My word is my bond,” it signifies...

“And whenever evening came, they would leave the city. As they were passing by in the morning.” (Mark 11:19-20 NASB) To get started, let me defend my one-word title. If an old black and white fictional movie about giant ants invading the earth could be released decades ago, designed to entertain us; if it could be simply titled “Them,” well, I surely can present you with a new...

“As Jesus went to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood at a distance. They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw that he was healed,...

“All of us must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent me, for there is little time left before the night falls and all work comes to an end. But while I am still here in the world, I give it my light.” (John 9:4-5 The Living Bible) I have not worked full-time in a non-church job since 2011. I have not taught at the local university since 2015. I have been a senior or...

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you and to give you assurance of these things for the churches. I am the Root (the Source, the Life) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and bright Morning Star.” (Revelation 22:16 The Amplified Bible) I was intrigued by an expert’s explanation of patterns that you see in motion pictures. He explained with several examples, how chase...

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” (Matthew 9:35 KJV) As you can ascertain from the opening verse, when Jesus shows up, good things happened! When Jesus shows up, being God’s only begotten Son, the best showed up. When Jesus showed up in the...

“And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was...
