An Inspirational Message for the Month of September 2024 – By Charles Schokman Image Source : pinterest What are life weeds? All of the unwanted things that creep into our lives and before we know it they have choked the life out of the things that actually do matter. Life weeds are subtle and sneaky and they take intentionality and effort to root out. THE WEEDS OF LIFE I came across this article and as a gardener I found it to be interesting and provides a good lesson for communion. The writer goes on to say:- I was digging in my garden the other day and I’d like to show you some of the things I found. I found this daffodil; it was so colourful it was very easy to see. Unfortunately, I also found this large clump of couch grass, I had seen it there before but I didn’t realise it ...

SUNDAY CHOICE (Father’s Day) – By Charles Schokman Image Source : maypatterson So God Made a Father (for Your Dad this Father’s Day)– And God looked down on all He had made and said, “Now, I need a caretaker.” So, God made a father. God said, “I need someone to take children fishing and play catch in the backyard. It must be some one who is tough enough to run a chainsaw and wield a machete and yet, gentle enough to join his little girl and her dolls for tea.” “I need someone to bring the car around when it’s raining, so everyone else can stay dry. Someone who will keep jumper cables in his truck, just in case he needs to help a stranger. I need someone to notice practical things, like how the tread on the tires is wearing and if the weather stripping around the front door needs replacing, for ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – A little talk with Jesus makes it right all right – By Charles Schokman “To end this splendid week, I thought it’ll be nice to remind you to have a little chat with Jesus this weekend. You’ve been chatting with friends, family and colleagues all week. You may even have spent several hours chatting with satan through your worries, anxieties, fears and mourning over your loss, pains, disappointment etc. Why not tell them to Jesus and leave your loads at His feet? Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28. You may be going through so much in your life at the moment, but remember you have a Friend who cares and is always willing to listen to you at any hour of the day. And you know what? He’s also capable ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – WHO IS JESUS TO YOU? – By Charles Schokman Knowing Jesus is simply recognising your need for Him, believing that He died and was resurrected for you…and inviting Him to be your friend, your advocate, your saviour. “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.” Did I know President Ronald Reagan? Well, I read about him. I saw him on television. I even voted for him. I talked to him on the White House Lawn where I also shook his hand and took his picture, but did I know him? No way. Even though I admired him as a president. I never had a personal relationship with him. In the same way, today many people claim to know Jesus. Some may even attend church, especially on holidays, and listen to sermons about him. But they don’t know him. Unfortunately, today a growing ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION – by Charles Schokman As I write this devotion, I remember my inadequacies. This is indeed humbling. I cannot become self-righteous or arrogant knowing that we all face life’s temptations. What tempts me may not tempt you. Nevertheless, rest assured we are all tempted. Our temptations come in a variety of forms, which is why we cannot judge or criticize someone else. By the grace of God, we could have fallen into the hands of temptation. God’s power saves us. Temptations are a part of life. We just cannot yield to it. Let me be clear. I am not simply talking about sexual temptations. I am talking about temptations of all kinds including greed and dishonesty. The list is too long to name. Rather, let us look at the scripture reference found in Luke 22:40. “There He told them, ‘Pray that you will not give ...

Ceylon Cricket Team 1958 – Yes it was truly a Ceylonese Team! – By Charles Schokman Source: Sent to eLanka by Charles Schokman This photo popped up in the social media. This was the then All Ceylon team picked to play an Unofficial test match against the English team led by Colin Cowdrey in 1958. An interesting aspect I noted was the balanced ethnic diversity of Sinhalese, Moors, Malay, Tamil, Burgher in this team. Sadly, we don’t find it now. Only three are among the living – Chandra Schaffter (94 years) Dr H.I.K. Fernando (91 years) and Michael Tissera (85 years). Don’t confuse A.C.M. Lafir with Billiards Lafir (MJM). ACM Lafir was the opening batsman for St Anthony’s College, Katugostota and was chosen on his outstanding batting record for the club that he played in Colombo – Saracens owned by Macan Markar family. Lafir received the award for the highest runs ...
