# Mark J Molinoff > Novelist and Writer of Faith Reflections ## Posts - [Ask God for a Word](https://markjmolinoff.com/ask-god-for-a-word/): When I face challenges in life, my first instinct is often to praise God in confidence that He will deliver me. Praise is powerful—it lifts my eyes and steadies my heart. But recently, I came across a line from Watchman Nee that made me pause: “Whenever something confronts you, you must ask Him to give you a word.” I realized that while I trust God’s goodness, I don’t always ask God for a word—a specific word from Scripture to anchor my faith and guide my prayers. What does it mean to do that? How do we receive such a word, […] - [Re-Channel Physical Desire: A Christian Approach to Purity and Self-Control](https://markjmolinoff.com/re-channel-physical-desire/): In the journey of faith, many Christians face the challenge of re-channeling physical desire toward purity, self-control, and the service of God. Physical desire is a natural part of who we are, yet it can become a source of struggle when it’s misdirected or misunderstood. As we seek to live in accordance with God\’s will, the question arises: how can we handle these desires in a way that honors Him? In this post, we’ll explore practical and biblical ways to re-channel physical desire into healthy outlets that build spiritual maturity and draw us closer to God. Acknowledge and Reframe Physical […] - [Victory Comes by Believing God’s Word](https://markjmolinoff.com/victory-comes-by-believing-gods-word/): Today\’s blog post presents a brilliant antidote for overcoming sins that seem impossible to put behind us. We\’ll start with scripture and commentary by Watchman Nee and follow up with a more detailed analysis. Today\’s message is entitled: \”Victory Comes by Believing God\’s Word.\” For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. Romans 6.14. Watchman Nee\’s Commentary on Victory In America there was once a Christian who had been able to overcome many things in his life except for four or five sins which he committed repeatedly. He confessed that his […] - [Sacrificial Love For Others: How Far Would You Go?](https://markjmolinoff.com/sacrificial-love-for-others/): The Challenge of Sacrificial Love for Others When I read Paul’s words in Romans 9:3—“For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers…”—I stop cold. It’s one of the most astonishing statements in the New Testament. Paul, the apostle who cherished Christ above all, was willing to be eternally cut off if it meant his fellow Jews could be saved. And I ask myself: Could I ever love like that? Am I truly prepared for that kind of sacrificial love for others? The honest answer? I’m not sure I […] - [Are We Truly “Always Ready”? Rethinking Eternal Security](https://markjmolinoff.com/are-we-truly-always-ready-rethinking-eternal-security/): What Does It Mean to Be Ready? In Matthew 25:10,13 we read, “And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast… Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.” This powerful parable of the ten virgins has stirred debate for centuries, especially in light of the doctrine commonly referred to as “once saved, always saved.” But does Jesus\’ teaching here—and the sobering commentary from Watchman Nee—support the idea of automatic eternal security? Or does it call for a deeper, ongoing commitment to being always ready? Watchman Nee Commentary Watchman Nee writes: To be […] - [Declare Jesus Is Lord](https://markjmolinoff.com/declare-jesus-is-lord/): The Power of a Simple Declaration The Christian life is not just about knowing facts or practicing good behavior. It’s about a dynamic relationship with God. At the center of this relationship is a simple but powerful confession: “Jesus is Lord.” This phrase isn’t just a theological label or a church slogan—it’s a bold and spiritual declaration that pushes back the darkness. In moments of confusion, fear, or spiritual resistance, one of the most effective things you can do is declare Jesus is Lord. In fact, the great evangelist Watchman Nee reminds us that this very declaration delights the heart […] - [Planting Seeds of Faith Among Non-Believers](https://markjmolinoff.com/seeds-of-faith/): The Apostle Paul planting seeds of faith among non-believers in Greece. I often find myself reflecting on the different journeys people take when it comes to belief. Many of my friends and family don’t share my conviction that Jesus is the Messiah or even that the God of the Bible is real. I can understand that, because for the first fifty years of my life I felt the same way. Yet now, having experienced the hope and transformation that faith in Christ brings, I feel a deep desire to quietly plant seeds of faith—small glimpses of the truth that has […] - [Seeking the Reward from God](https://markjmolinoff.com/seeking-the-reward-from-god/): In a world driven by likes, follows, and public affirmation, Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:5 strike with timeless clarity: \”When ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. … They have received their reward.\” The lesson is simple, yet profound. There is a clear distinction between seeking the reward from God versus from man. According to Jesus, we cannot pursue both. We must choose: will we live for human applause or for the approval of […] - [The Roman Road: A Timeless Guide to the Gospel](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-roman-road-a-timeless-guide-to-the-gospel/): The Roman Road is a simple yet profound way of understanding the message of salvation laid out by the Apostle Paul in his Letter to the Romans. For decades, Christians have relied on these verses as a roadmap to explain the Gospel clearly to friends, family, and even strangers who are seeking answers. More than just a formula, The Roman Road provides a framework for grasping the human condition, God’s response in Christ, and the call to respond in faith. In an age of complex theology and cultural confusion, its clarity is refreshing and life-giving. The Problem of Sin The […] - [Daily Process of Redemption](https://markjmolinoff.com/daily-process-of-redemption/): Awakening to the Daily Process of Redemption The daily process of redemption begins not with effort, but with awakening. Jesus declared in John 16:8, “And when He [the Comforter] is come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” These words point to the Holy Spirit\’s essential role in our spiritual journey. Without conviction, there is no awareness of our need. And without awareness, there is no turning. No one truly touched by the Holy Spirit remains unconscious of their sins. This initial awakening—like the prodigal son “coming to himself” (Luke 15)—is not the end […] - [Trust in the Lord: A Commentary on Isaiah 50](https://markjmolinoff.com/trust-in-the-lord/): Isaiah 50 is a piercing, poetic chapter filled with both lament and resolve (see full text of the scripture below). It opens with a courtroom-like confrontation: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce?” God is not admitting fault, but instead clarifying that Israel’s suffering is the result of their own sin—not divine abandonment. This is not a God who has cut ties, but One who is still calling, still extending mercy, still able to redeem. The passage is framed by trust in the Lord—a call to return to the One who has power to redeem even the most stubborn of […] - [The Lamp in the Attic: Finding the Light of God](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-lamp-in-the-attic/): We all search for meaning in different ways—through beauty, wisdom, spirituality, and self-discovery. But what if the very truth we’ve been seeking has been quietly waiting for us all along? The Lamp in the Attic is a story about one woman’s journey through a lifetime of spiritual searching, and the surprising place where she finally finds the light her soul had been longing for. Sophia and Her Beautiful Home There was an older woman named Sophia who lived alone in a beautiful house filled with warmth, history, and quiet mystery. She had a passion for lights and had collected the […] - [Timing of the Rapture](https://markjmolinoff.com/timing-of-the-rapture/): There\’s long-standing debate among Christians about when believers will be \”caught up\” (raptured) in relation to the Great Tribulation. Scripture isn\’t crystal clear on the timing of the Rapture, so different interpretations arise. Here\’s a breakdown of the three main views, and then I’ll offer an evaluation based on the biblical evidence. 1. Pre-Tribulation Rapture Belief: Christians will be raptured before the 7-year Tribulation begins. Key Verses: 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 “Then we who are alive… will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord…” Revelation 3:10 “Because you have kept my word… I will keep […] - [What is Happiness?](https://markjmolinoff.com/what-is-happiness/): Everyone wants to be \”happy\”. But… what is happiness? Happiness: The Modern View The modern secular world often defines happiness as a state of personal satisfaction, pleasure, or emotional well-being. It is usually tied to external factors—success, relationships, wealth, comfort, entertainment, or self-fulfillment. In this view, happiness is subjective and individualistic, something to be pursued and maintained through life choices and circumstances that maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Happiness: The Biblical View In contrast, the Bible’s view of happiness (often expressed as blessedness or joy) is rooted in a right relationship with God. It is not primarily about feelings or […] - [College Transition Prayers for Parents Letting Go](https://markjmolinoff.com/college-transition-prayers/): Dropping a child off at college can be one of the most bittersweet experiences in a parent’s life. Pride and joy mix with grief and uncertainty. Even if the college is close to home, the house suddenly feels quieter, and the rhythms of daily life shift in ways that feel both exciting and heavy. Many parents are asking, How do I process these emotions? How do I support my child while also adjusting myself? This is where faith becomes an anchor. Turning to God through prayer can steady our hearts, guide our children, and remind us that we are not […] - [Supernatural Fulfillment in Christ](https://markjmolinoff.com/supernatural-fulfillment-in-christ/): I find the New Testament fascinating in the way that Jesus fulfills the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament so completely and with such satisfaction. My awareness of this supernatural fulfillment in Christ was prompted by one of Watchman Nee\’s daily devotions. Matthew 15:33 In Matthew 15:33, the disciples ask Jesus, “Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude?”—a question born from the visible scarcity around them. For those not familiar with this story, the disciples express doubt about feeding a massive crowd in a remote place, unaware that […] - [Fear of God and Divine Friendship](https://markjmolinoff.com/fear-of-god/): In a world where information is easily accessible and opinions are abundant, true spiritual guidance remains elusive for many. Yet Scripture reveals a powerful truth: the friendship of Jehovah is reserved for those who walk in the fear of God. This sacred fear, far from being rooted in terror, is the awe-filled reverence of a heart wholly devoted to God\’s will. The key to divine intimacy is not intellect or experience, but a heart postured in humble submission. The fear of God is not a mere attitude, but a way of life that opens the door to deep fellowship with […] - [Equipping the Saints for Ministry](https://markjmolinoff.com/equipping-the-saints-for-ministry/): Ephesians 4:11–16 paints a vivid picture of how Christ has structured His church—with apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers—all working together for one core purpose: equipping the saints for ministry. This phrase is not merely a theological point—it’s a summons to every believer. We are not called to be passive spectators in our spiritual communities. Rather, we are invited into a dynamic, life-giving movement where every joint, every member, contributes to the body’s strength, unity, and maturity. Watchman Nee’s commentary reinforces this idea with clarity. He writes, “If we have seen the body, we cannot say we are a person […] - [Power Through Scripture: The Sword of the Spirit](https://markjmolinoff.com/power-through-scripture/): Many Christians are well-versed in biblical truths. They attend Bible studies, memorize Scripture, and can articulate doctrine clearly. Yet despite this knowledge, some experience repeated spiritual defeat. Why? Because victory in the Christian life comes not merely through intellectual understanding, but through the power through Scripture as wielded by the Holy Spirit. As Watchman Nee insightfully explains, the truths we know cannot become effective weapons unless they are animated and empowered by the Spirit of God. This is the true meaning behind Paul’s command in Ephesians 6:17—to take up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” […] - [Jewish Interpretation of Isaiah](https://markjmolinoff.com/jewish-interpretation-of-isaiah/): Jewish Interpretation of Isaiah: A Different Lens on the Suffering Servant When Christians read Isaiah 53–63, they often see a clear foreshadowing of Jesus—the suffering servant, the redeemer, the divine arm of salvation. But the Jewish interpretation of Isaiah offers a very different understanding, one rooted in historical suffering, national identity, and covenantal restoration. Rather than pointing to a divine messiah, Jewish tradition reads these passages as a poetic and prophetic account of Israel itself—God’s servant among the nations. This contrast reveals the depth and complexity of biblical interpretation and highlights how context and tradition shape meaning. The Suffering Servant […] - [Who Created the Universe? What Your Worldview Says About You.](https://markjmolinoff.com/universe-and-worldview/): The Eternal Debate: Universe and Worldview What (or who) created the universe? The question isn’t just philosophical—it’s personal. Whether you’re religious, secular, or somewhere in between, your answer shapes how you see yourself, your purpose, and what matters in life. From ancient prophets to modern physicists, humanity has wrestled with this very issue. The universe and worldview you choose to believe in will inevitably influence your ethics, priorities, and peace of mind. This debate is not going away. It’s been with us since the beginning—and it’s still raging today. Let’s examine how different thinkers throughout history have approached this question […] - [Isaiah Points to a Messiah](https://markjmolinoff.com/isaiah-points-to-a-messiah/): Isaiah 53 through 63 is one of the most powerful, cohesive, and foundational sections in all of Scripture. For the Christian reader, these chapters aren’t just poetic—they’re prophetic. They unfold the drama of redemption in striking clarity, revealing that when there was no one righteous, God Himself stepped in to save. Isaiah points to a Messiah who suffers, intercedes, redeems, and ultimately reigns. We see not just glimpses but a detailed portrait of Jesus—His suffering, His mission, His justice, and His glory. These chapters carry us from the foot of the cross to the gates of the New Jerusalem, offering […] - [Quiet Hunger of the Soul: Faith and Purpose in China & America](https://markjmolinoff.com/quiet-hunger-of-the-soul/): In America, many young people combat the emptiness of modern life by turning to Christianity. Faith offers more than rules — it provides a higher calling, a divine purpose to address the quiet hunger of the soul. Church communities foster accountability, helping believers avoid self-destructive habits like addiction and reckless relationships. Yet, skepticism persists. Critics view religion as outdated, preferring science or secular self-help. This divide highlights a cultural tension: Can tradition satisfy our deepest needs, or must we invent meaning from scratch? China’s Spiritual Crossroads The issue of faith and purpose in China takes subtler forms. Under an atheist […] - [Modern Life Malaise: Disillusionment in China and America](https://markjmolinoff.com/modern-life-malaise-disillusionment-in-china-and-america/): During our recent trip to China, we got the impression that many Chinese are frustrated with their lives, bored with their jobs, and feeling a lack of hope about the future. This is not dissimilar to Americans, who seek to drown their boredom and frustration with television, alcohol, and other mindless pursuits. Today’s blog post will investigate the differences and similarities of this modern life malaise within these two cultures today. A Global Phenomenon The frustrations we observed in China—boredom, hopelessness, and escapism—mirror those in America, revealing a shared modern life malaise. In both nations, people grind through unfulfilling jobs, […] - [Living as Those Ascended with Christ: A Higher Fellowship](https://markjmolinoff.com/ascended-with-christ/): Ascended With Christ: Living From a Higher Realm “For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) The Christian life is not simply a moral code or set of religious practices. At its core, it is a spiritual transformation—a radical repositioning of the believer from the realm of earth to the heights of heaven. In this profound passage, the Apostle Paul tells us that we have died, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. What does this mean? How do we live out of that hiddenness? Watchman Nee gives us a key […] - [God Longs For Every Child To Come Home](https://markjmolinoff.com/god-longs-for-every-child-to-come-home/): Today\’s blog post explores the notion that God longs for every child to come home. First, we look at a passage of scripture. Then I include a brief devotional from Watchman Nee. Then we discuss the challenging question of what happens when someone lives without the opportunity to know God? God\’s Longing Bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. Luke 15.23, 24. Watchman Nee\’s Devotion Let me give you a new thought today, which is the joy […] - [The Dividing of Soul and Spirit](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-dividing-of-soul-and-spirit/): One of the most mysterious and essential truths of the Christian life is the difference between what originates in us and what originates in God, the dividing of Soul and Spirit. So much of our energy—even in ministry, prayer, and devotion—can come from our own soul: our will, our feelings, our thoughts. But Scripture calls us to live by the Spirit, not by the self. In Hebrews 4:12, we are told that God\’s Word is able to reveal the hidden line between the two, offering a clarity we cannot find on our own. Watchman Nee offers deep insight into this […] - [Psalm 51: Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God](https://markjmolinoff.com/psalm-51/): Today, we examine Psalm 51, King David’s deeply personal and heartfelt prayer of repentance after being confronted by the prophet Nathan about his sin with Bathsheba. I am featuring an incredible commentary written by Alexander MacLaren. Please take the time to read his insightful words. There is so much depth and understanding in his explanation of David\’s Psalm. Summary of Psalm 51 The psalm opens with a plea for mercy based on God’s steadfast love and abundant compassion, as David acknowledges the depth of his transgression—not only against others, but ultimately against God. He confesses both his sinful actions and […] - [Psalm 80 Foreshadows the Messiah and Points to Jesus](https://markjmolinoff.com/psalm-80-foreshadows-the-messiah-and-points-to-jesus/): A Cry for Rescue, A Glimpse of Redemption Psalm 80 is one of those hauntingly beautiful laments that echoes through the centuries with unmistakable urgency. It\’s the cry of a broken people—scattered, afflicted, longing for restoration. But hidden in its poetic appeals is something more than desperation: there’s hope. A hope for a Shepherd, a King, a Savior. A hope for the Messiah. Today’s blog post describes how Psalm 80 foreshadows the Messiah and points to Jesus. As we read the psalm carefully, we begin to notice something extraordinary. The language, the longing, and the imagery all hint toward a […] - [Choosing God\'s Will](https://markjmolinoff.com/choosing-gods-will/): The following scripture from Matthew and commentary from Watchman Nee address the important issue of choosing God\’s will over our own. Today\’s blog post explores the important distinction between burden and cross. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. Matthew 10.38. Watchman Nee writes: \”A burden is not a cross. Burden is something inescapable; the cross, however, is subject to personal choice and can therefore be avoided. What the first cross in history was, so the countless smaller crosses will be which shall follow afterwards: just as the original cross […] - [Fear of the Lord is Wisdom](https://markjmolinoff.com/fear-of-the-lord-is-wisdom/): Job 28 is an incredible verse in one of the most powerful books of the Bible. In it, Job argues that fear of the Lord is wisdom. Man can mine gold and gems deep in the earth while animals don\’t even know they exist. Similarly, man can search for wisdom, but he\’s as incapable of finding wisdom on his own as the animals at finding gold and gems beneath the earth. The only way to access wisdom is to fear the Lord. Today\’s blog post begins with an analysis of this passage. Humanity’s Ingenuity and Limits Job 28 opens with […] - [A Better Way Forward](https://markjmolinoff.com/a-better-way-forward/): A Legacy in Waiting For many Jews today, the Messianic hope still lingers in the background—woven into liturgies, sung in songs, whispered in prayers, and held as a deep yearning for a world finally healed. The prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures spoke of a time when swords would be beaten into plowshares, when justice would roll down like waters, and when God would give His people new hearts. But for modern Judaism, especially among the secular majority, this vision often feels more poetic than prophetic—something admired rather than expected. Yet what if that expectation wasn’t lost? What if the longing […] - [Written on the Heart](https://markjmolinoff.com/written-on-the-heart/): For centuries, people have carried a profound hope—a vision of a world made whole, a Messianic Age when justice, peace, and divine presence would finally dwell among us. Yet today, many find that hope dulled by time, buried under the weight of tradition, secularism, or pain. In this reflection, we explore a better way forward—a path not of religious performance or cultural nostalgia, but of hearts transformed and truths written on the heart. Could the ancient promises of God still hold relevance? Could the longing for redemption be closer than we think? \”How that our gospel came not unto you […] - [Salvation for the Jews: Part Two](https://markjmolinoff.com/salvation-for-the-jews-part-two/): Salvation for the Jews: Part Two The early Jewish believers in Jesus—often called the Jerusalem Church or Jewish Christians—lived directly in a tension between the Old Covenant (the Law of Moses) and the New Covenant established through Jesus. Their experiences help us understand how the earliest followers of Christ, many of whom were devout Jews, navigated the continuity and transformation of God\’s covenantal relationship with Israel. In today\’s blog post, Salvation for the Jews: Part Two, we will explore the views of early believers in Jesus . The First Believers Were Jews Who Accepted Jesus as the Messiah The earliest […] - [Salvation for the Jews: Part One](https://markjmolinoff.com/salvation-for-the-jews-part-one/): Salvation for the Jews: Part One A Question of Faith If a devout Jew makes a sincere effort to follow the Mosaic Laws and Ten Commandments, can he be saved even though he does not accept Jesus? God made a covenant with the Jews. If they, in good faith, fear the Lord and abide by that covenant, won\’t God honor His part of the covenant and make a place for them in heaven? My interest in these questions is personal. I was raised as a secular Jew and then accepted Jesus later in life. In the next two blog posts, […] - [The Sin of Presumption: A Subtle but Serious Offense](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-sin-of-presumption/): In our modern walk of faith, we often focus on avoiding obvious sins—lying, cheating, rebellion, or disobedience. But there is a quieter, more deceptive danger lurking beneath the surface: the sin of presumption. This sin doesn’t necessarily look like rebellion; in fact, it often masquerades as spiritual zeal. Yet acting without God’s clear direction, even with good intentions, can lead us astray. In this post, we’ll explore a powerful reflection from Watchman Nee that shines a sobering light on what it means to serve God on His terms, not ours. The Sin of Presumption: Watchman Nee\’s Commentary \”Keep back thy […] - [When Justice Meets Mercy](https://markjmolinoff.com/when-justice-meets-mercy/): Introduction: A Storm and a Savior Reading the Old Testament prophets can feel like stepping into a storm. The language is fierce, the warnings dire, and the consequences severe. But when we read these passages through the lens of the New Testament—through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—we begin to see something more than judgment. We see a God who longs for His people to return to Him, not just outwardly, but with their whole hearts. In Amos 5:14–27, we encounter one such storm. God calls out Israel for their hollow worship and unjust living. It’s a sobering […] - [Message to My Fellow Secular Jews](https://markjmolinoff.com/message-to-my-fellow-secular-jews/): When the Old Testament Hurt Too Much to Believe Today\’s blog post is a message to my fellow secular Jews. There was a time in my life when I couldn’t relate to the Old Testament. I was born Jewish, raised with the stories and traditions, but I didn’t believe. Not really. The God of the Hebrew Scriptures seemed angry, distant, and relentless. The stories were full of failure—our failure. We rebelled, we suffered. Over and over. And no matter how many times I tried to make sense of it, the message felt the same: we fall short, and we are […] - [Trusting God with What We Love Most](https://markjmolinoff.com/trusting-god-with-what-we-love-most/): Wrestling with a Difficult Story Thinking about Abraham\’s willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac gives me trouble. Maybe it gives you trouble too. I understand the importance of self-sacrifice. I understand laying down our lives for others, like Jesus did. And I understand that as followers of Christ, we may be called to die for our faith. But I have always struggled with this question: Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice someone else? Why would God test someone’s faith in such a heart-wrenching way? The story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22 has long challenged readers—believers and skeptics […] - [Differing Views on Atonement](https://markjmolinoff.com/differing-views-on-atonement/): Christians believe that Jesus\’ death on the cross was the ultimate blood sacrifice, taking away our sins forever. They point to Biblical references that say, first, that only a blood offering is sufficient for atonement. And second, that Jesus provided the ultimate blood offering. From this perspective, the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD and the end of animal sacrifice is not a stumbling block. Jesus\’ death made such blood sacrifice unnecessary. However, Jews have a different interpretation. They look at Biblical passages that point to a time when animal sacrifices will be unnecessary as well, without the […] - [Our Daily Choice](https://markjmolinoff.com/our-daily-choice/): Every morning, we wake up to our daily choice: Do we believe that God is sovereign over the world, or do we accept the idea that human intellect is the highest authority? The answer to this question shapes how we live, what we value, and ultimately, where we place our hope. In 1 Corinthians 1:18-21, Paul confronts this dilemma head-on, revealing that the so-called wisdom of the world is ultimately futile without God. He declares that the message of the cross—God’s ultimate act of redemption—may seem foolish to those who reject it, but to those who believe, it is the […] - [Experiencing Spiritual Emptiness](https://markjmolinoff.com/experiencing-spiritual-emptiness/): Experiencing spiritual emptiness is often required in the process of spiritual growth and transformation. Watchman Nee tackles this issue in his commentary on Daniel 10:8. \”So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.\” – Daniel 10:8 Watchman Nee Commentary Watchman Nee writes about experiencing spiritual emptiness, saying, Abundance comes from enlightenment. As light shines upon us, we become rich. Yet strange to say, when we do receive such enlightening, we feel on our side as though decreased […] - [Just a Toe Nail](https://markjmolinoff.com/just-a-toe-nail/): Watchman Nee says each of us is important in God\’s eye and tells us to embrace who we are. However, it\’s not always easy. Sure, it\’s a breeze to not be jealous of a foot if you\’re a hand. But what if you\’re just a toe nail? That\’s how I feel sometimes! Nee begins by quoting 1 Corinthians 12.21: \”And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.\” Watchman Nee Commentary Then he writes, \”The Lord distributes His work to all, and […] - [Help God Every Day](https://markjmolinoff.com/help-god-every-day/): Watchman Nee has a gift for clarifying important truths in life. In this short devotional, he explains our primary purpose for living – to help God every day. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. – Romans 16.20 We believers who have been chosen by the Lord should never forget this purpose of our being involved in destroying the works and the power of the devil. Whatever we do, we should not ask if this matter is good or bad, but ask instead if it is profitable to God and destructive to Satan. We will not […] - [The Law and the Necessity of Christ: A Jewish Believer\'s Perspective](https://markjmolinoff.com/is-the-law-sufficient/): The intersection of faith and law within the experience of Jewish believers in Christ presents a unique set of theological challenges. At the core of this struggle lies a fundamental question: Is the Law sufficient for salvation, or is there a necessity for the grace offered through Christ? The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, provides a pivotal insight when he states in Galatians 3:19, “What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions.” This assertion hints at a profound understanding of the Law’s purpose: to illuminate human sinfulness rather than to serve as a means […] - [What It Means To Be In Christ](https://markjmolinoff.com/in-christ/): The transformation that occurs when a believer is \”in Christ\” is supernatural, profound, and multifaceted, touching every aspect of our being—spiritual, emotional, and relational. This transformation is described throughout the New Testament and is central to Christian faith. Below are key aspects of this transformation: 1. New Identity Scripture: \”Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!\” (2 Corinthians 5:17) Meaning: As believers, we become a \”new creation.\” Our old identity, rooted in sin and separation from God, is replaced by a new identity as a redeemed child of […] - [Judge Not](https://markjmolinoff.com/judge-not/): In a time of intense political and social division, it is more important than ever for Americans to embrace the wisdom of \”judge not.\” This message is beautifully captured by Watchman Nee as he comments on the Biblical passage from Matthew 7:3. Watchman Nee Devotion Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Matthew 7.3. “In the preceding verses (vv.1, 2), the Lord warns us not to judge but instead exhorts us to be merciful. Here He tells us how improper it is to judge. There […] - [Sharing Our Faith](https://markjmolinoff.com/sharing-our-faith/): One of our greatest challenges as believers in God is sharing our faith without sounding preachy or condescending. Growing up Jewish, this was not an issue because Jews are not commanded to share their faith with non-believers. However, having accepted Jesus, I am now instructed to share my faith in the hope that others might also see the light. The Apostle John addressed this issue two thousand years ago. In 1 John 1:1-5 he wrote: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with […] - [The End of the Law](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-end-of-the-law/): Today\’s blog post examines the Mosaic Law found in the Old Testament of the Bible and how the Law of Christ brought about the end of the Law. As a Jew who has come to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, I have struggled to fully understand Jesus\’ passage in His Sermon on the Mount where He says: \”Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.\” – Matthew 5:17 If Jesus did not abolish the Law or the Prophets, then why do Christians say […] - [Forgiveness and Love Connection](https://markjmolinoff.com/forgiveness-and-love-connection/): I learned something today quite powerful about the nature of God’s love and the forgiveness of sin. Watchman Nee’s daily devotion addressed the forgiveness and love connection, starting with a biblical verse from Luke. Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. Luke 7.47. Then Watchman Nee commented: “How can we love the Lord? If we remember how our sins were forgiven, we cannot help but love the Lord. The day the cross ever fails to move us, that very day we are fallen. Evan Roberts wept […] - [In Nothing Be Anxious](https://markjmolinoff.com/in-nothing-be-anxious/): In his Daily Devotional, Watchman Nee commented on the famous verses in Philippians 4:6-7 that begin, “In nothing be anxious.” Let’s take a look at the scripture, followed by his commentary, and then reflect on this important message. In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. Watchman Nee commented: Seldom have I seen Christians without anxiety. The vast majority are weighed down with many worries. There […] - [Aligning Our Prayers With God’s Will](https://markjmolinoff.com/aligning-our-prayers-with-gods-will/): Today’s blog post examines the importance of aligning our prayers with God’s will when we seek specific outcomes or desires. Let’s start with a daily devotion from Watchman Nee and then explore examples of how to understand God’s will in our lives. And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us. 1 John 5.14. Watchman Nee comments on this scripture by saying, Whenever a believer is in want, he should first inquire: Will such lack affect God? Does He want me to be in need? Or is […] - [Man Without God Is Nothing](https://markjmolinoff.com/man-without-god-is-nothing/): I recently ran across the following passage on the internet and was deeply moved by its power and simplicity. Its message is that man without God is nothing. When God wanted to create fish, he spoke to the sea; when he wanted to create trees, he spoke to the earth; but when he wanted to create man, he spoke to himself. Genesis 1:26 states, “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” We all know that if you take a fish out of the water, it dies. Likewise, when you remove a tree from the […] - [Rapture and the Tribulation debate](https://markjmolinoff.com/rapture-and-the-tribulation-debate/): The Rapture and the Tribulation debate centers around whether Christians will endure the Tribulation before being raptured or be spared from it altogether. This difference in belief comes from varying interpretations of biblical passages related to the End Times. These interpretations primarily revolve around the timing and nature of the Rapture in relation to the Tribulation, which is a period of great suffering described in prophecy. What is the Rapture? The term “Rapture” refers to the belief that Christians will be taken up (caught up or “raptured”) to meet Christ in the air. This idea is primarily based on passages […] - [The Mishnah and Talmud in Jewish Life](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-mishnah-and-talmud/): From the return of the Jewish exiles to Israel around 500 BCE through the Roman Empire\’s rule in 500 CE, Jewish life evolved dramatically in response to both internal developments and external pressures. This period witnessed the rebuilding of the Second Temple, the flourishing of religious scholarship, and the eventual adaptation to life without the Temple after its destruction in 70 CE. Throughout, Jewish leaders and scholars crafted lasting traditions and texts, like the Mishnah and Talmud, which helped maintain Jewish identity and community despite dispersions and challenges. This essay explores the resilience, religious innovations, and enduring cultural impact of […] - [The Duality of Good and Evil](https://markjmolinoff.com/the-duality-of-good-and-evil/): The other day, Jinmei and I were pondering the duality of good and evil compared to the Chinese philosophical concept of opposites, which is known as yin and Yang. Is the Judeo-Christian notion of good understandable on its own, or does it need to be viewed in comparison to evil to make sense? In addition, do good and evil function like yin and Yang on a continuum? Today’s blog post explores these perplexing and foundational ideas. Understanding Yin and Yang Yin and Yang are fundamental concepts in Chinese philosophy that represent the duality in all things. Yin is associated with […] - [Life During the Millennial Kingdom](https://markjmolinoff.com/life-during-the-millennial-kingdom/): What will life on Earth be like when Jesus is ruling the Millennial Kingdom for 1000 years? Will we still live in countries, have local economies, trade with other countries, and need to earn money? The answer to these questions relies on the interpretations of biblical prophecy, particularly from the Book of Revelation and other scriptural passages. Different Christian traditions have varying views on life during the Millennial Kingdom. Here’s a general overview based on common interpretations: Biblical References Revelation 20:1-6 describes a period of 1,000 years during which Satan is bound and Christ reigns with His saints. Isaiah 2:2-4 […] - [Discovering Our Gifts](https://markjmolinoff.com/discovering-our-gifts/): When I was younger, I spent years struggling to discover my purpose in life. In hindsight, this challenge was exacerbated because I was attempting to tackle this issue on my own. Now, I understand that we are not meant to figure out our life\’s purpose alone. Instead, God wants us to rely on Him to gain this important clarity. The key to discovering our gifts is to understand how God meant for us to serve Him as a member of the body of Christ. Armed with this comprehension, we can then claim our position – in service to others, in […] - [Peter\'s Servant Leadership as an Example for Church Elders](https://markjmolinoff.com/peters-servant-leadership/): Peter serves as a powerful role model for men who serve as elders in the church. He also serves as a role model for men seeking to be good husbands and fathers. Peter models humility, leadership, perseverance, and deep transformation through his relationship with Jesus. His journey reflects the qualities necessary for spiritual leadership and pastoral care. Here\’s why Peter\’s servant leadership is such a powerful example for men – both elders in the church and men in their own families: Humility and Servant Leadership Peter embodies humility, a critical trait for any church elder. Although Jesus entrusted him with […] - [Are The End Times Unfolding Today?](https://markjmolinoff.com/are-the-end-times-unfolding-today/): Numerous events throughout history have caused Christians to believe the end times were near. The interpretation of apocalyptic events in the Bible, especially in the Book of Revelation, has often been linked to major upheavals, wars, and disasters, leading to widespread eschatological speculation. Are the end times unfolding today? Let’s compare our current world to past events. Natural Disasters and Climate Change Some Christians view the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, as aligning with the “birth pains” described in Matthew 24:7, which speaks of earthquakes, famines, and other calamities […] - [Soul and Spirit: Underpinnings of the Human Psyche](https://markjmolinoff.com/soul-and-spirit/): Watchman Nee’s Daily Devotional for today discusses the difference between our soul and spirit. I was unclear on the difference, so I researched the subject. Today’s blog post addresses this important issue. Soul and Spirit In Scripture Nee began by quoting Hebrews 4.12: “For the word of God is living,… piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Then Nee said, “We ought to acknowledge that it is not easy for us ourselves to differentiate between what is spiritual and what is soulish […] - [Four Novels by Mark Molinoff](https://markjmolinoff.com/four-novels-by-mark-molinoff/): Today\’s blog post introduces four novels by Mark Molinoff.

It all started with John 1:1, “In the beginning was the word.” I woke up this morning and attempted to convey these ideas in written form. The result is today’s blog post, which explores the profound mysteries of divine manifestation in the Bible through the lens of quantum mechanics. By drawing parallels between the quantum principles of superposition, wavefunction collapse, and duality, we can shed an exciting perspective on biblical concepts, including God’s divine nature, the creative power of the Word, and the incarnation of […] - [Biblical Covenant Promises](https://markjmolinoff.com/biblical-covenant-promises/): Introduction The Bible unfolds a narrative that traverses centuries and introduces readers to pivotal covenants that shape the relationship between God and humanity. Central to this narrative are two Biblical covenant promises, the Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ. They stand as distinctive pillars in the theological framework of Judeo-Christian beliefs, marking crucial moments in the unfolding divine plan. In today’s blog post, we will delve into an exploration of the Mosaic and New Covenants. It is imperative that we understand their origins, purposes, and the profound differences that distinguish them in order to shed light […] - [Presidential Debates - Their Importance and Relevance Today](https://markjmolinoff.com/presidential-debates/): Presidential debates are a cornerstone of American democracy, offering citizens a unique opportunity to evaluate the candidates vying for the highest office in the land.

A Brief History of Presidential Debates The history of American presidential debates is a testament to their evolving significance in the democratic process.

Many consider King David its author. Psalm 119 is a love song about the beauty of God\’s law or Torah. It celebrates the guidance and wisdom in God\’s word, portraying it as a source of instruction, comfort, and strength. The Psalm also reflects on the challenges and struggles faced by those who seek to follow God’s word faithfully.

This story is important because in many ways it is your truth. Throughout history, humans have grappled with questions about the origin of the universe and life on Earth, seeking to make sense of their place in the cosmos and the mysteries of existence. As a result, diverse cultures and civilizations have crafted intricate theories, narratives, myths, and creation stories to explain the beginnings of the cosmos and the emergence of life. These stories often reflect the scientific, cultural, religious, and philosophical beliefs of the societies […] - [Do Not Be Afraid](https://markjmolinoff.com/do-not-be-afraid/): In today’s daily devotion from Watchman Nee, the great Christian evangelist reminds us, “Do not be afraid.” Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you. Acts 27.24. Watchman Nee writes: He who really has God’s promise is usually restful and calm in his demeanor, for to him that promise is as good as realized. When Paul met with danger from the sea on his journey to Rome, he could stand among his fellow passengers and declare: “Sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that […] - [Love\'s Enduring Legacy: 1 Corinthians 13](https://markjmolinoff.com/loves-enduring-legacy-1-corinthians-13/): Written by the Apostle Paul around 55 AD, 1 Corinthians 13 stands as a timeless testament to the transformative power of love. Over the past 2000 years, this profound chapter has left an indelible mark on the Western world, shaping the moral and ethical fabric of societies and influencing cultural, religious, and philosophical thought.

America\’s greatness at its founding can be attributed to a set of civic virtues deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of its citizens. The civic virtues that define America not only laid the foundation for the Constitution but also served as the bedrock for a democratic experiment that continues to endure. This essay explores the civic virtues that define America, the qualities that […] - [Embracing Divine Trust: A Life With Less Worries](https://markjmolinoff.com/embracing-divine-trust/): Imagine living life where the constant hum of anxiety and stress is replaced by calm and peace. In such a reality, the burdens of work, health, family, and troubles would weigh less heavily on our shoulders. I believe the best way to make this happen is by embracing divine trust in God.

For Christians, the concept of letting the self “die” and embracing Jesus reflects a fundamental tenet of faith rooted in biblical teachings. Central to moving beyond the self is surrendering one’s desires, ego, and sinful nature to Jesus Christ, the Savior and embodiment of divine love and redemption. This process symbolizes a spiritual rebirth, where believers seek to align their lives with the teachings and example of Jesus, striving to live by Christian values and virtues. Embracing Jesus is a transformative act that enables a person to lead […] - [Harvest of Gratitude](https://markjmolinoff.com/harvest-of-gratitude/): Thanksgiving, as celebrated in the United States, is a time-honored tradition where families and friends come together to express gratitude for the bounties of the harvest and the blessings of the past year.

A recent devotional struck me with particular force, addressing how we should approach decision-making in our daily lives. The key was discerning God\’s will instead of relying on our own cleverness. He started with scripture from 2 Corinthians. For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. -2 Corinthians 1:12. Watchman Nee then commented: The principle of Christian living is […] - [Near-Death Experiences](https://markjmolinoff.com/near-death-experiences/): Near-death experiences are profound events reported by individuals who have come close to death or have been clinically dead but later revived.
