LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!

ByDr. Mark April 22, 2025 0 Comments
The question was asked innocently and openly by an individual whose thoughts had been infected by the incessant noise of the world or an invalid conclusion developed by the independent rationale in his mind/ Here’s the question: “How can I be guilty of sin if I am alone all day?” My response, “Let me count the ways.” Oh, do you want to know some of what I listed? Let me give a list,...

‘”I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13 NASB) The purpose of this morning’s meditation is to encourage seniors and younger adults who will one day, Lord willing, reach their senior years. The closing verses are from the scriptures focused on this past Sunday as my older brother, Dr. H.C. King, preached the morning service. Here are some words of...

THE SYMPHONIA OF YOUR LIFE

ByDr. Mark April 2, 2025 0 Comments
Music appreciation was a required course for individuals seeking a Bachelor of Arts during my college days. We listened to many of the greats, Mozart, Beethoven, Hayden, and several others. For relaxation and to rest my ears from the typical music that is filled with words, especially when the religious station is devoting time to talking with callers about local, state, and national politics, I...

GET IN THE GAME!

This is your Monday Short meditation, inspired by Pastor M.R. King in Sunday School yesterday. In basketball, only five players can be on the floor for your team at one time. In baseball, you can field nine players at a time. In football, the defense is allowed to have 11 players on the field at the same time. The same is true for the offense in football. In volleyball you are allowed six...

THE DECISION

“Blessed is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12 The Amplified Bible) First, know that this has nothing to do with Cleveland, Miami, or any other basketball team. Now, with that disclaimer out of the way,...

THE PREACHER, THE PEOPLE, THE PICTURE, & THE PERCULIAR PRISIM

ByDr. Mark March 15, 2025 0 Comments
The preacher referred to in the title above is yours truly. The picture is what appeared on my laptop screen after I logged in Thursday morning. Perhaps your PC had the same picture. Different than the people who just looked at the picture admiring its beauty and perhaps even going so far as to analyzing it further, the preacher looked at the picture from the peculiar prism that he uses to apply...

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME…

“And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.” (Mark 9:20-21 NASB) The purpose of today’s meditation is to equip you with a response to someone who...

ANOTHER CASE OF DÉJÀ VU

ByDr. Mark March 11, 2025 0 Comments
“Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers....

YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME

ByDr. Mark March 9, 2025 0 Comments
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3 NASB) There was a crew of sewer repairmen working a couple houses down the street from where I live. I heard the noise of a truck and went to look out the living room window to see what was going on. I saw three men in bright, florescent green vests and a couple of co-workers wearing...
