 “Into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.” (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) No one is exempt from dreary, dark, and depressing rainy days. As the quote above points out, rain will fall in all our lives. So, what do we do when rainy days come? I’ll swiftly summarize what you are about to take away from the passage below, taken from the story of Noah and the ark:...

SCRIPTURE CONTENT VS. SCREEN CONTENT: MAKE YOUR CHOICE

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping watch according to Your word . (Psalm 119:9 Amplified Bible) Since the introduction of the TV and the programming on the silver screen, young people have been influenced, at the least undeniably unconsciously, by what they view. This influence is nothing new, but it has greatly increased during these times in which we live. In older times,...

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (I Corinthians 13:13 New King James Version) The title above sounds like it would be fitting for an episode in the old, but still televised, Perry Mason Series, “The Case of the Morning Attire.” Hopefully, as with the TV series, the title is intriguing and has you anticipating what this meditation is all...

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105 New International Version) Version) A truly, tremendously faithful, tireless worker in the kingdom was driving at night recently, heading home after attending to, ministering to the needs of others. Her navigation over the roads seemed to be more challenging than ever as the byways were harder to see. The bumps,...

“C” YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!

The “C” in the title it not slang, not a clever abbreviation with no meaning, and not intended to confuse you. Conversely, hopefully, the title intrigued you and inclined you to make it a point to keep reading. What I am about to write is not limited to the holiday season where we hurry around, busy prepping, preparing for people gatherings and plenty of good times. No, what I am about to...

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “This is the message from the Lord: Let my people go so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will send thousands of frogs to bring trouble to your whole country. The Nile River will be full of frogs. The frogs will go into your house. They will jump into your bed. They will go into the houses of your servants....

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S IN YOUR HAND!

“What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2a New International Version) One adult, whether in gest or just remembering an object, participative lesson that his father used with his siblings and him, told me that if his children ever start to complain about “not having nuthin,” he would apply the same lesson that was used on him so his children would focus on being thankful for every...

OH, BUT YES, HE DID!

“Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in...

“WHY DO I WRITE?”

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4 KJV) I was recently asked, “How many responses do I get on the average, to the daily Mark Writes meditations?” Before I could answer that question, the inquirer posed a second question before I could open my mouth, “How many followers do you have from your emails or your blog...

ByDr. Mark August 27, 2024 0 Comments
I’ll try to make this Tuesday meditation short, by just emphasizing a couple of things I said in my sermon this past Sunday. First, when you get your desired blessing, a blessing you that falls under the scope of the will of God, don’t keep your desired blessing to yourself. Share your blessing, be it a thing, free time, your testimony, or a truth from the word that saved you from the power...
