SUNDAY CHOICE – He’s Still Working On Me – By Charles Schokman ‘Then this message from the Lord came to me: “Family of Israel, you know that I can do the same thing with you. You are like the clay in the potter’s hands, and I am the potter.” This message is from the Lord.’ Jeremiah 18:6 Some of you will remember this once popular Joel Hemphill song from the 1980s. His song teaches the truth of Philippians 1:6: “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Hemphill wrote and performed the song hoping it would be popular with children, as well as adults, and remind us that God never gives up on us. God began work on us, and God is the one who will complete it, which means that He is still working on us. And this ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – What does Psalm 139:23 mean? – By Charles Schokman Image Source : Proverbs 3:5-6 FaceBook Page We see the evidence of the depth of David’s relationship with God in this Psalm. He certainly was a person after God’s own heart, as Scripture says (1 Samuel 13:14). In this prayer David invites God to test his thoughts. And the focus here is directly on what is within him. He wants God to look inside of him, his inner person, so that he is assured that God knows what is in his heart. In Psalm 26:2 he says: “Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.” Every child of God should urge the Holy Spirit to probe deep within their heart to see if they are abiding in the Word of God and doing His will for their life. What David is concerned with and wants God to ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – PEACE IN CHRIST – By Charles Schokman Bible verses about peace— What does the Bible say about peace in hard times? Even before Covid there was so much to be worried about: climate change, terrorism, wars, personal circumstances. Now with a worldwide pandemic, lockdowns and so many deaths and personal changes, life can just seem overwhelming. It’s important to remember that the Bible promises peace to those who trust God. And sometimes that means more than just reading the words and thinking, “that’s nice”. It’s about reading the words, believing them and then acting accordingly. You may have heard of, or read, the Bible verses from Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of June 2024 – Glorifying God in our Weakness – By Charles Schokman Image Source : aqadmatrimonial “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” Ps.90:12 I am getting older. I know that isn’t a surprise to anyone. We all wake each morning another day older than the day before. However, I am now in those maturing years that often bring with them aches, pains and some more serious challenges that begin to impact our lifestyle and our ability to do things that were once easy and enjoyable. I don’t know the number of days God has ordained for me, but this I do know, I have a much greater desire to apply my heart to wisdom now than I did when I was younger! Perhaps that longing grows in proportion to lessons learned and experiences lived throughout ...

Remembering a past war as a new one rages in Europe – By Charles Schokman Image Source : economist Bob fagan was a 21-year-old private from Texas when he plunged from his assault craft into the cold sea off Utah Beach in Normandy, under the rattle of Nazi machinegun fire and air bombardment. “The water was red with blood,” he later recalled. “There were bodies floating all around us.” A fellow member of the 299th combat battalion landing on Omaha Beach had a simpler description: “Hell.” Of the more than 150,000 Allied troops who arrived in Normandy on June 6th 1944, 9,000 were killed or wounded within the first 24 hours. d-Day (which stands simply for day) or Jour j (as it came to be known in France) was a turning-point in the Allied campaign to push back Nazis on the Western Front, liberate France and defeat Hitler’s Germany in 1945. President Joe Biden, France’s Emmanuel ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Loved with Everlasting Love – By Charles Schokman The author of this hymn was George W. Robinson. He based the hymn on Colossians 3:3. (For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.) He is known in hymn history for this one hymn in particular, I Am His and He Is Mine (or Loved with Everlasting Love), published in 1876. He wrote this hymn one year before his death at the age of 39. I couldn’t find much about Mr. Robinson’s life or death, nor any particular story behind this song. I don’t know if he died suddenly in a tragic accident, or if he died after an extended battle with illness. What I do know is that his words reflect a confidence in God. I really appreciate the confidence that Mr. Robinson speaks of when he talks about whom he belonged to. His words communicate to me that he ...
