THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SAME

ByDr. Mark August 17, 2026 2 Comments
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” (Albert Einstein) This is your Monday Short meditation. Smile, because me meaning of “Short” is never the same. Listen! There is a problem with “same.” The unsaved, by all means need to experience change by coming out of darkness into the marvelous, wonderful light. If not, there is a problem with...

INSIGNIFICANT TO SIGNICANT (ROW WITH IT!)

“Now a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, ‘Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.’ So Elisha said to her, ‘What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?’ And she said, ‘Your servant has nothing in the house...

Good morning! It’s Friday! I won’t write a lot this morning. I’ll just refer you to the title above and ask you to (1) Read the passage below, listening carefully to one of Jesus’ parables. (2) Meditate on it as it relates to you and how you can apply what the Lord has to say to you.  “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was leaving on a trip. He called his servants and handed his...

SEARCHING FOR THE GOOD ONES

ByDr. Mark October 18, 2025 2 Comments
“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” (Psalms 119:71 NLT) Don’t let the title of this meditation mislead you. This is not about searching for one of the few good men or good women that are so hard to find. This is not about finding a good deal or a good dining place. It is not about a so-called sure way to lose weight or ways to gain weight. It...

DON’T LET ROUTINE RUIN YOUR DAY

ByDr. Mark June 19, 2025 2 Comments
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.” (Colossians 3:23 Good News Translation) Sometimes our days seem like replays of previous days. We find ourselves habitually doing the same things, day end and day out. At times this can become pretty jolting, as one’s routine robs him or her of their desired, joyful disposition....

GO BEYOND….

“While I was in Susa, one of my brothers named Hanani and some other men came from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped captivity and still lived in Judah. I also asked them about the city of Jerusalem. They answered, “Nehemiah, the Jews who escaped captivity and are in the land of Judah are in much trouble. They are having many problems and are full of shame because the wall...

THE COLLEGE TRUNK

“O loving and kind God, have mercy. Have pity upon me and take away the awful stain of my transgressions. Oh, wash me, cleanse me from this guilt. Let me be pure again. For I admit my shameful deed—it haunts me day and night. It is against you and you alone I sinned and did this terrible thing. You saw it all, and your sentence against me is just. But I was born a sinner, yes, from the...

IT IS NOT SO WITH GOD

ByDr. Mark May 1, 2025 0 Comments
According to sources, Abraham Lincoln is credited with a well-known saying regarding deception. In 1858 during a political debate, Mr. Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” The saying is well said, but the truth in what Lincoln said about deception cannot be applied to the Almighty...

DEALING WITH FAILINGS

ByDr. Mark April 5, 2025 0 Comments
“Failure is delay but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.” (Quote from William Arthur Ward) Some of you have certainly heard me repeat this axiom, an actual truth on more than one occasion: “We have failings, but we are not failures.” I base this truism on the following scriptures. (1) “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard...

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!

ByDr. Mark March 25, 2025 2 Comments
“Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (I Kings 19:9 NASB) I have a question for you to answer when you are having one of those days where you feel down, depressed, or disconnected with reasons to rejoice. When you start having a pity party, a poor “woe is me”...
