Mario was a 28-year-old crack and alcohol addict who was imprisoned for burglary. At his sentencing the judge said he was “a waste of a human life.” Mario sadly agreed. Midway through his jail time he saw an advertisement for a journalism contest. It piqued Mario’s interest, and he enrolled in a nearby university. He was hooked. Mario loved working on news stories, and after his release he finished his master’s degree in journalism and now writes for The New York Times. He’s a waste no more! The life of the demon-possessed man living in the tombs seemed a waste to anyone who knew him. His neighbors bound him with chains for their protection and his, but “he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet” (Mark 5:4). He ran back to the tombs where “night and day . . . he would cry out and cut himself with stones” (v. 5). Then he was changed forever. Jesus cast out the man’s demons and returned him to normal society. The town was amazed to find him “sitting there, dressed and in his right mind” (v. 15). The grateful man wanted to sail away with Christ, but He said no. “Go home to your own people,” said Jesus, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you” (v. 19). This man’s mission is our mission. Let’s tell others about Christ. Because of Him, no one’s life is a waste.

"How does Romans 15:5 speak into the challenges of unity across cultural, ethnic, and generational differences in the church today? What can we learn from Paul's missionary vision about how the church should think about global missions today? What does the long list of names in Romans 16 teach us about Paul's ministry philosophy and the importance of ordinary Christians in God's mission? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member Kari Perry talk about Romans 15-16 and unity, discerning a call to missions, and our role in God's mission.

My father first locked eyes on my mother at a party in London. Next he gate-crashed a second party, then organized a third, just to see her again. Finally, he asked Mum out for a country drive, picking her up in his old Rover sedan—his treasured possession. Mum and dad became sweethearts, but there was a problem. Mum was about to move to Peru to become a missionary. Dad took her to the airport, then five months later arrived in Peru himself—to propose to her. And the best part of the story? He’d sold his beloved Rover to pay for the plane ticket. If you would’ve asked Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, what her most treasured possession was, she’d have shown you a precious bottle of “expensive perfume” (John 12:3). And if you’d have been at the party she and Martha threw for Jesus (v. 2) and watched her lavish that bottle’s contents on his feet, you’d have known just what Jesus meant to her. He was that precious, that valuable. For my mother, Dad selling his car wasn’t just about a plane ticket. It was a sign of how much he valued her. And Mary’s actions had deeper meaning too—she was preparing Jesus for His burial (v. 7). Like her, when we sacrifice for God what we treasure most, we take part in His redemptive work by echoing His great sacrifice for us.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comII Peter 3 In this final chapter, believers are urged to remember the words spoken by the prophets and the commands given through the apostles. Scoffers will arise in the last days, following their own sinful desires and questioning the promise of Christ's return. They will deliberately ignore that God once judged the world through the great flood and that He will one day judge it again, this time by fire. Peter explains that the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise but is patient, giving time for all to come to repentance. The day of the Lord will come like a thief, without warning, and the natural creation will be destroyed. Therefore, believers are called to live holy and godly lives as they look forward to the eternal home of righteousness.  As we anticipate the return of Christ, we anchor our hope in His promise, knowing that His timing is perfect. Though the world may mock or ignore the truth, we trust that God is patient and merciful, allowing more people to turn to Him. This truth shapes how we live each day. We do not cling to the temporary things of this world because we know they will pass away. The natural world will be destroyed, but God is preparing a new heaven and a new earth filled with righteousness. We strive to live holy and peaceful lives, growing in grace and truth so that when He returns, we will be found faithful and ready to dwell with Him forever.  Creator God, thank You for Your patience and mercy in giving many the time to turn to You. Help us to live with holy hearts as we await the return of Christ. Teach us to seek the truth, grow in grace, and stand firm when others doubt Your promises. Remind us that this world is not our final home and that You are preparing a new heaven and a new earth for kingdom citizens. May we remain faithful and watchful, ready to meet You. Lead us to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   Thought Questions: -       If someone is determined to pursue their own desires, how will this affect their perception of God and His promised day of judgment?   -       What truths about God, His judgment, and His return do so many people overlook? How do you stay ready for His coming? -       If everything physical will be destroyed when Christ returns, how should this impact the way you prioritize and live your daily life?

"How does the image of a ""living sacrifice"" connect back to Old Testament sacrifices, and what does it practically look like for a Christian to live as a living sacrifice today? In today's episode, Watermark Community Director, Katie Shemanske, talks about Romans 12-14 and unpacks how we as believers can live out the principles Paul is teaching in these chapters. Katie challenges us in how we live a life surrendered to Christ, love one another, and find our satisfaction in Christ alone.

Two pilots fell asleep in the middle of their flight over Indonesia. While the commanding pilot had permission to nap once the plane reached cruising altitude, he woke up to find that his co-pilot had also dozed off. The two were asleep for about thirty minutes with more than 150 passengers and crew on board and while at approximately 36,000 feet altitude. The plane had veered off course, but thankfully, the plane still arrived at its destination safely. Human pilots may snooze mid-flight, but we can rest assured that God never falls asleep. I find such comfort in the words of Psalm 121. In eight verses, we’re reminded that God is omniscient, or all-knowing, about our life; omnipresent, or present all throughout our day; and omnipotent, or all-powerful, and can protect us. The psalmist declares that our help comes from God (v. 2). He is our keeper and shade (v. 5), and He guards us from all evil while preserving our soul (v. 7). God never gets tired. “He will not let your foot slip; he who watches over you will not slumber” (v. 3). “The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore” (v. 8). When we’re wondering if God has forgotten us, we can rest assured that He is at the wheel. He is always awake and watching over us.

The Power of HumiliySupport Warfare Prayers

Humans have a problem asking for help. We can probably chalk it up to our proud hearts.Often, when we are really up against it, that's when we resist seeking help.Jesus does away with all that.Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”Ask yourself: is my pride keeping me from asking for help? If so, mull that over. And then, take a step toward the Lord and ask for what you need.God opens doors when we ask Him to. And sometimes what we find on the other side isn't what we expected. When that happens, we choose patience, and we remain open to His good plans for us. When you've asked God to help and your prayers are answered, share the Good News with people you meet. Tell anyone who will listen that the Lord of the Universe cared about you and delivered you from a problem no one else could solve. And if the answer He gave was totally unexpected and sent you in a different direction — share that, too. Accepting God's plan when it doesn't match up with our own best-laid plans is what faith is all about.Let's pray. Lord, please give us a heart that seeks you. God, we want to be obedient, and we know that your blessings, whatever they look like, will follow. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comII Peter 2 Peter warns that false teachers will arise among the people. These individuals will secretly introduce destructive heresies and deny the Lord who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways, and as a result, the truth will be maligned. These teachers are driven by greed and exploit others with deceitful words. Peter assures believers that God knows how to judge the wicked and rescue the righteous. He reminds them of past judgments, such as the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. These false teachers are bold, arrogant, and corrupted by their sinful desires. They promise freedom but are themselves enslaved by sin. Peter exclaims it would have been better for them never to have known the truth than to malign it so sinfully.   We must remain alert and grounded in the truth of God's Word because false teachers still exist and can lead many astray. Their words may sound convincing, but their hearts are filled with pride and greed. We are called to test what we hear against Scripture and stay committed to sound teaching. We cannot follow the crowd or be swayed by messages that distort the truth. God is just and will judge those who corrupt His Word, but He also knows how to protect those who remain faithful. We must hold tightly to what is right, turn away from sinful desires, and live in a way that honors Christ. Our freedom is in Him, and we must never forsake our Savior.   Righteous Lord, guard our hearts against deception and help us stay anchored in Your truth. Grant us wisdom to recognize false teachings and courage to stand firm in what is right. Protect us from those who twist Your Word for their personal gain. Strengthen our faith so that we do not follow destructive paths but remain loyal to You. Assist us in seeking purity in our thoughts, actions, and desires. Lead us by Your Spirit so we may walk in truth and reflect Your holiness. Thank You for being just and for rescuing those who remain faithful to Your righteous way.   Thought Questions: -       How can you identify someone as a false teacher? Explain how it is about much more than just the accuracy of the message. -       What do the stories of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot teach you about the power and sovereignty of the almighty God? -       Is it possible to be entangled in the world and lost after being saved through Jesus? Why is that worse than never having obeyed at all?

Do you ever feel like a fraud? You aren’t alone! In the late 1970s two researchers identified “imposter syndrome” as the condition of doubting one’s skills, talents, or abilities and interpreting ourselves as a fraud. Even successful and brilliant people struggle with inadequacy, worrying that if anyone peeked behind the curtain of their lives, they’d see how much they don’t know. Paul exhorts the people of the first-century church in Rome to be humble. “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment” (Romans 12:3). We understand the importance of not elevating our abilities. But when we doubt our own value, we go too far, robbing others of the gifts God wants us to use to serve Him. To think of ourselves with “sober judgment” (v. 3) is to have a sane estimation—a realistic regard—for what we offer. Paul nudges us to overcome our hesitancies, to embrace who we are “in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you” (v. 3). In this way, God’s body of believers may be built up (vv. 4–8). Rather than degrading our offerings with imposter syndrome, let’s embrace God’s giftings within us. By gratefully accepting God’s grace, we can think neither too highly nor too lowly of ourselves. In doing so, we please our Father and build up His body of believers.
