THE PREACHER’S SUNDAY RECIPE

“Guard your steps and focus on what you are doing as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they are too ignorant to know they are doing evil.” (Ecclesiastes 5:1 The Amplified Bible) I’m just going to assume you will attend church this morning, face-to face in the assembly of the saints, or if your circumstances don’t allow...

A SPECIAL REFERRAL

“Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.” (Matthew 28:16 Amplified Bible) If you have ever had a medical condition where you were referred to a specialist and were given a designated time and place to be for help with your condition, you kept that appointment.  Right? I’ll keep it short today.  I just want to refer you to a specialist, the...

LET’S JUST DO THIS THING!

Bless you for reading the long meditation about the “Virtual Person yesterday, I will be short in my words!  Yes, short, since I took so much of your precious time yesterday, and just if by chance you need some additional motivation this morning, “Let’s do this thing” as described by the Psalmist. “Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.  Serve the Lord with gladness and...

“AN OPEN HOUSE INVITATION”

“Come, let’s worship and bow down, let’s kneel before the Lord our Maker.  For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.  Today, if you will hear His voice.” (Psalm 95:6-7 NASB) This year, starting sometime in the month of May, parents started hosting Open House gatherings to honor their sons and daughters who graduated at one level on their...

YOU ALWAYS HAVE CHRIST

“One day at three o’clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting.  At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up.  Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple.  When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout.  Peter, with...

HE MAILMAN COMMETH

“Sing to the Lord a new song;sing to the Lord, all the earth.  Sing to the Lord, praise his name;proclaim his salvation day after day.”(Psalm 96:1-2 NIV) During the course of the workweek, the mail is usually delivered Monday thru Thursdays between 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.  Did you notice I left out one particular delivery day?  I left out Friday.  For some reason, for which I...

WAKE UP!

“Arise, my people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you.” (Isaiah 60:1 The Living Bible) When we are in the comfort of our home, we depend upon our alarm clocks to wake us up. Some of you have body clocks which don’t let you oversleep and usually wake you up earlier than the time you set on your alarm clock.  I’m one of...

WOULD YOU PREFER A THREE-DAY OR A TWO-DAY WEEKEND?

“On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers...” (Acts 20:7a NLT) According to my research, the two-day weekend is a modern-day phenomenon, considering it started being an employee benefit in the middle of the 19th century.  Some individuals today, persons who work modified or optional schedules without sacrificing the total of hours work, may get a three-day...

LET’S DO THIS!

“O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.” (Psalm 96.1 KJV) The saying on the packet of Splenda spoke to me this morning.  As I set it by the cup while I prepared my much needed coffee, my eyes kept looking back at the packet that had the words above embossed on it, “Let’s do this!”  Now it did not define “This,” but I took it to mean worship...
