Mark 13 We watch the news via TV, read the newspapers and google monuments of antiquity. Yet across our world we are seeing those being torn down and ruined by ideological fanatics. As Jesus listened to the disciples’ enthusiasm about the Temple, he reminded them that like today monuments which are man-made, they can and […]
Mark 4 It is spring here in Texas and each day we see that the seasonal grasses and flowers are emerging from their winter sleep. Each day we see the changes that come with more light and warmth. As Jesus sat in the boat near shore, He taught the people using the picture of the […]
Mark 2 In chapter 1 Jesus leaves Galilee and begins his preaching career with his new disciples who have obeyed and followed Him. When Jesus calls, we must surrender and follow. They had moved from town to town quickly and after some time, they returned to Capernaum where Jesus had healed Peter’s mother in law […]
Mark 1 Early Morning I love being up early and sitting with a cup of coffee. It is here, in my chair it is just the Lord and I. Jesus has set the example for me and you too. Listen to Mark as he writes what a day in the lift of Jesus was like. After […]

But, suppose you could write the headline for the last day’s newspaper that will only be read by those who are “left behind.” Would it say something like this: Where were you […]
2 Timothy We have heard the phrase “don’t disturb a hornet’s nest” and I can attest that to be true. When I was a teenager helping my dad clean out the tobacco barn I inadvertently disturbed one and the result was massive insect bites for hornet’s unlike bees, can sting and sting again. So that […]
2 Tim 1 Is there something of which you are ashamed? Paul wrote to the Romans and then to Timothy that he was unashamed. To the Romans, he wrote that he was not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of life to the unbelieving. [Rom 1:16] To Timothy he wrote that he […]
