DYOFMI

ByDr. Mark August 19, 2026 4 Comments

“For the Lord is good…” (Psalm 100:5 Amplified Bible) Call today’s meditation a DYOFMI! No, it's not a real word. I just made it up. There are two parts in my created word: (1) the DYO part, and (2) the FMI part. The first part, the DYO part, will give you an opportunity to be part of a meditation to be published later this week. All you have to do is to write me a reply,...

REAL LOVE!

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” (I John 3:18 NLT) This is your Monday Short meditation. For real this Monday! As you can ascertain from the verse above, when you love others, it is not something merely conveyed with words or sweet-sounding speech that is pleasing to the ears and serves to perk up another’s emotions....

THE PURPOSEFUL PUSH!

ByDr. Mark October 11, 2025 4 Comments

Standing in the checkout line during one of my early morning trips to the grocery store, I had my back turned to the person behind me, an elderly woman, a senior citizen much like me. I’m not expecting an incident to occur. I definitely was not expecting someone to lay their hands on me. After all, we were at the store building and not the church building! Regardless of what I was not...

THE COUPLE LOOKING IN THE WRONG SECTION!

ByDr. Mark September 3, 2025 4 Comments

At a local bookstore, I went to see if I could find some books to add to my library, specifically books that would give insight to the Psalms. I didn’t want to be spoiled by the availability of expository accounts found online, but preferred to peruse the published, printed word of scholarly theologians who had diligently pursued the word of God, searching, seeking the pure truth it contained...

WEEKEND LOVE!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 King James Version) This short Saturday meditation is surely not for you. However, you can pass on the content to someone you know who is looking for weekend love in all the wrong places. This weekend love, referring to real love, is not...

DELIVERING “THE LETTER” ON TIME

ByDr. Mark March 27, 2025 2 Comments

Do you recall going to the mailbox, multiple times a day, looking for a letter from a special loved one? I know you do. You went to the mailbox in the late morning hours, early in the afternoon, and just before sunset, hoping to get this letter. If it was not delivered on the day that you expected it to be delivered, you went through the same routine the next day. As a matter of fact, you...

WHAT HE SAID

ByDr. Mark July 26, 2024 0 Comments

“We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in death.” (I John 3:14 The Amplified Bible) Tuesday morning, just a few days after I had preached on the subject, “Move The Love Needle,” I was going through a photo album put together by some of my relatives who recognize the value of preserving our family...

I SAW SOME OF YOUR OLD LOVE LETTERS!

ByDr. Mark March 22, 2024 0 Comments

My momma gave me two pieces of advice when I was a young single person. First, she said, “Don’t put it in writing.” Second, she said, “Don’t keep any old love letters.” You will have to ponder on her words of wisdom and come up with your own guesstimation as to why she might have spoken those words to me. Perhaps you will be correct, since you might had received similar counsel when...

WHAT’S GOT TO DO WITH LOVE?

ByDr. Mark September 5, 2023 0 Comments

The title above is not a misarrangement of words or a mistaken use of the words, words similar to the title of a popular song. No, I am not trying to ask, “What does love got to do with it?” I’m trying to save you some time and money! You see, you don’t have to buy a romance novel that has somewhere between 400- 600 pages or more. There are a lot of words on each romance novel. ...
