Isaiah 40:31

Soaring?

My friend, may I ask you a question? When the storms of life squeeze us into anxious wrecks, when they invade our lives, and all of us will experience them, can we rise above them by setting our minds and belief toward God? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. When I was a little boy we used to have an old-fashioned wringer washing machine. This was an early type of washing machine in which you had to hand feed the freshly washed clothes t

2 Samuel 1:17-27

Sweet?

My friend, may I ask you a question? What are you looking for in life? Well, for most of us the answer is easy. We’re looking for good things and not bad. I guess that would sum it up pretty nicely? Yet, is it always true that our attitudes about and toward life reflect this? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. What are you looking for in life? Well, for most of us the answer is easy. We’re looking for good things and not bad. I guess tha

Matthew 6:32

Don't worry?

My friend, may I ask you a question? When we include worry in our lives, is it like taking a shortcut, one that is ill-fated to turn out the same way every time –unfounded? Doesn’t worry gives us the false hope that we’re in control while all the time we’re really headed in the wrong direction? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. I had the idea the other day to take a shortcut from the office to a client’s office across town. I was behind

Matthew 11:16-19

Be the best?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Taking a contrary attitude to life when there’s always a better alternative may be human nature but is it God’s nature? Scriptures condemn attitudes that are contrary for the sake of being that way. Cynicism and skepticism may be comforting when we feel bad, but do they breed correction and endurance? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. Many years ago I worked with a coworker who just loved irritating

John 7: 37-39

Not listening?

My friend, may I ask you a question? When we become dependent on toys and other things that give us pleasure, the stuff of living instead of waiting on God to impact our lives with the stuff that makes living purposeful, is it time to rethink our priorities? Are we listening to the siren call of things and shutting out God’s message to prioritize the spiritual over the material? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. We live in an age where

Isaiah 7:12

Let's talk?

My friend, may I ask you a question? If you pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, will there be no lack of what to say? Will you ever exhaust the subject if it is continually being renewed? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. Did you ever find yourself in a situation where you just couldn’t hold back? I mean, there was no loss for words. They poured out; you were so full of enthusiasm, astonishment or whatever the motivating emot

1 Corinthians 15:57

Step up?

My friend, may I ask you a question? If you’ve ever suffered persecution because of your faith, think about this. If they try to bury you with their words and actions, are you able to climb above the dirt? When we’re willing to do what’s right, is it Ok to expect to be persecuted? In the end whatever they throw at us, we can just rise above…right? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. Like anyone else, persecution isn’t something I look for

-Ecclesiastes 3:5

Touching?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Could it be that God himself is grieved when those He has personally touched with His love, refrain from touching one another? Could it also be that by removing intimacy, we remove the surest way of knowing who our friends really are? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. I recently attended a political rally with a young friend who was interested in getting into politics. We witnessed a rousing campaign

Luke 12:15

A special place?

My friend, may I ask you a question? What do we really deserve? Apart from the love and grace of God, the Bible tells us that we deserve only punishment and damnation. Deserve this or that thing? On what grounds? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. “You deserve a break today . . . ,” so the jingle went! The TV was asking me to buy something to eat. And, “Well, don’t you think that you deserve it anyway?” Now it was telling me that I was a

Luke 9: 49-50

Jealousy?

My friend, may I ask you a question? When we're jealous is it like going down a one-way street with no turn-around in sight? Is it like knowing that you are going the wrong way but just can't seem to get turned around? My friend, Life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I'm Mark Brunner. A number of years ago my youngest brother celebrated a birthday. He had spent the better part of the past three decades in the navy, where, achieving high rank and distinction, he had ac
