SUNDAY CHOICE – More Than Life I Love Thee Lord – By Charles Schokman Image Source : youtube “Your love means more than life to me, and I praise you as long as I live, I will pray to you” Psalms 63: 3-4 More Than Life I Love Thee Lord. To love God more than life means to love God with your emotions. Praising him with your happiness, smile, and gratitude is easy when things are going well. Like when you perceive an answer to prayer or one of life’s good gifts comes your way, but how about when things aren’t going so well? ALL your heart means at ALL times. Even when God seems quiet. Even when he says wait. And even when he says no. And, yes, even when bad things happen. Continuing to love God even when bad things happen or when good things don’t happen is key ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – I refuse to be discouraged – By Charles Schokman “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) I refuse to be discouraged, I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, And here’s the reason why… I have a God who’s mighty, Who’s sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, And I am on His team. He is all-wise and powerful, Jesus is His name; Though other things are changeable, My God remains the same, My God knows all that’s happening; From beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend. When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – I SPEAK JESUS – By Charles Schokman This is the title of a song released by a band called Here Be Lions. The likes of Darlene Zschech helped to propel it to prominence amongst the Christian community in 2021. The first time I heard this song the impact and deep meaning of all the lyrics brought me to my knees. While I may be privileged not to suffer from mental illness, I have worked with a lot of people who do, and this song really makes my heart bleed for them. Check it out on Youtube: See, just like the song – I just want to speak the name of Jesus. I want to speak it over every heart and every mind. The name of Jesus is above all things. He belongs on the thrones of our hearts. He calls us to worship God with everything – to love ...

One of the most beautiful articles from the book called “Die Empty” by Todd Henry. – By Charles Schokman The author was inspired and got this idea of writing this book while attending a business meeting. When the director asked the audience: “Where is the richest land in the world?” One of the audience answered: “Oil-rich Gulf states.” Another added: “Diamond mines in Africa.” Then the director said: “No it is the cemetery. Yes, it is the richest land in the world because millions of people have departed from it, “they have died” and they carry many valuable ideas that did not come out of the light and benefited others. It is all in the cemetery where they were buried.” Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book “Die empty.” Where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities ...
