Marked…: A Checkmark, or a Cross by Magnolia Robinson

It’s no secret that we are in a great time of woes. Whether we have fully come to the Tribulations described in the scriptures, is not yet certain. I quote multiple Scripture references that describe what will take place in the end times preceding the Second Coming of Jesus. I talk about the increase in people complaining about the churches because of people supposedly living hypocritical lives. Those same individuals much of the time, are still living worldly lives themselves. Marked is a reminder that Jesus is still coming, even if we don’t know exactly when. I discuss several issues tying Biblical scripture to our Post Modern current events. I also go so far as to admit that the prophesies in Scriptures concerning the end times are being fulfilled as we read. Last thing anyone want’s is to be caught on the wrong side of salvation. So the question is, “Who’s mark do you have? The mark of the lawless one? or the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ? He is closer now to coming than before. It is worthwhile to thoughtfully consider and decide. My Name is Reverend T. Magnolia Robinson-Felix. I have my Batchelor’s Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1996. Even though I was raised Protestant I graduated from a well known Catholic Grade and High School. So Basically I had extensive experience in both faiths at a young age. I bounced around trying various other churches for over a decade. That is until life’s severe trials and a long bout with serious life threatening illness really made me return to the faith of my youth. That faith being Protestant Non-Denominational and a closer relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ. I was much like the Prodigal Daughter coming home after loosing everything. It wasn’t long after that when I enrolled in Bible School and spent 5 years commuting the long distance to attend classes each week. I received my Minister’s License in 2019 and my Certificate of Ordination in 2020. I have been serving in my home church and around the community ever since.

Intertwining Choices by Cleresse Annette Sprague

When I looked at Rosalia’s face, she was pale as a ghost. Her smile was gone, and for a brief moment, I thought her eyes looked ‘dead.’ This haunting image would stay with me for years. Eventually, I came to understand why I had the haunting image of Rosalia. I had allowed my own unknown prejudice to show through, and it targeted her. I condoned the prejudice message that said it was okay to treat Rosalia as unworthy simply because she was different from me. Rosalia was cut deep with the knife of prejudice, and the scar would be eternal.

Our youth today have an array of social issues they are trying to cope with and to comprehend. As an example: they may struggle with friendship, bullying, prejudice, or drugs. Our youth are often confused, searching for answers, and in need of guidance. Parents, families, school staff, the juvenile system, church and civic youth groups, and the medical profession are all educators who impact the social development of today’s youth. Intertwining Choices is a curriculum designed to aid these educators as they guide our youth through formative years today and to socially empower them as they traverse into the realm of adulthood tomorrow.

Born into hardship, I spent years searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. Though I knew God was there, I struggled to see His hand in my story—or to recognize my own worth. For a long time, I tried to numb the pain through destructive choices, repeating cycles that seemed impossible to break.

But God had other plans. At my lowest point, He sent an unexpected guide who helped me uncover the truth: that I am worthy, loved, and created for more than survival. Step by step, I learned to embrace myself, to heal, and to live with courage and joy.

Today my life looks very different. The darkness has given way to light, and what once felt like endless struggle has become a testimony of freedom, adventure, and miracles. When you’ve faced the depths of brokenness and discovered the One who loves without limits, fear no longer has the final word.
