What If God and I Had a Band?

What if God…. What if the Lord and I had a band? Seriously. What does that look like? No, I haven’t been swiggin’ malt liquor with my coffee—not yet anyway. I don’t know about you, but I get woken up about the same time in the middle of the night, about 1:32am—about. I get up and use the bathroom then come back to bed and I am awake enough to navigate that passage and sometimes, when I get back... Read more

You Are With Me….

Times where, if you could be part of its stage play, on a somber night, you are sitting around a campfire. Probably alone as the others of your kind had left the coming fray already, fleeing into the woods and the paths beyond and you are left. There is no escape now, nowhere to run, if you could even run with the bad knees or hips you have and you simply ask yourself, almost with a snicker, ‘where would I go?’ Read more

What Do “I” Need To Do To Get To Heaven?

Last updated on: April 5, 2026 at 6:12 am By Mark Williams

0 Comments

What do I need to do? ‘What do I need to do to get to Heaven?’ I’ve asked this. You have asked this. We have this imaginary equation in our minds of what we need to do, be, sell, to qualify to get to Heaven. Everyone’s talked about ‘Heaven’ and we all think this would be a good place to wind up, especially after hearing about fire and brimstone at the other place. We light candles. We pray... Read more

“I Need to Do Better!’

Last updated on: March 15, 2026 at 7:08 am By Mark Williams

0 Comments

I WAS DRIVING…. I was driving down a major road in my city, having traveled this same road for decades. It was then I noticed the other day a billboard, about three stories up in the air. One of those great big billboards. It simply said, ‘Real Christians-Obey Jesus Teachings.’ That was it. It gave the Luke 6:46 citation for it. We, as believers, need to be careful how we share the Bible. We especially need to be careful how... Read more

Abba, Where Are You? With the current events spinning, seemingly out of control, it is not too far of a question to ask, Dad, where are you? We find ourselves in our current lives, being bombarded with media, some from reliable sources we have come to know and trust—sort of, along with media as if we were standing under a waterfall. Pictures, videos, sound bites seemingly with no end, fill our heads with ideas, images, opinions of what we should... Read more

Being Still With God In The Holidays

This an incredibly busy…. This is an incredibly busy time of year. It runs the spectrum of emotions-from overworked, financially over-stretched, sad, ecstatic, joyful, suicidal, worried, pleased, hungry, grossly overfed. It is just about every feeling or emotion one could have, sometimes piled on top of each other, in the dark of winter-actually-at any time of the year, but it lands here and now. I think, somehow, we lost our way in this season. We find ourselves ‘having to’ do... Read more

It cost the Son of God to spread his arms out as wide as he could reach to die so we could live. The unblemished lambs and goats weren't getting it done. He knew they wouldn't. It would never be enough, that's why He did it. Read more
