SUNDAY CHOICE – The Longer I Serve Him The Sweeter He Grows. – By Charles Schokman Image Source : slideshare May this hymn, written by William (Bill) Gaither, be found true and real in our own life: Since I started for the Kingdom, Since my life He controls, Since I gave my heart to Jesus, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows. Chorus The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows. Ev’ry need He is supplying, Plenteous grace He bestows; Ev’ry day my way gets brighter, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows. One of the fascinating things we remember about our Christian life is our ardent passion for God when we had come to know Christ as our ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Give And You Shall Receive – By Charles Schokman A Boomerang World: As I was sitting outside this morning sipping my coffee and watching the sun climb over the horizon, I looked down and saw a curved stick on the ground that reminded me of a boomerang. Suddenly I was caught up in memories of me as a kid, playing for hours on end in my grandfather’s backyard with a small wooden boomerang he had given to me as a gift. Remember when you were a kid, how fascinated you were with boomerangs? (At least I was!) You take this flat, curved piece of wood and throw it, then watch in amazement as it curves around in the air and comes right back to you! As “miraculous” as that seemed when we were kids, I’ve found most of our life is like that. Whatever we “throw” out there, comes back ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of January 2024 – By Charles Schokman Nick Vujicic Uses AI To Spread Gospel Australian evangelist Nick Vujicic is using artificial intelligence and digital media to help spread the Gospel. He’s unveiled a new initiative called Multitood which is a cost-effective video translation software solution to help expand an organisation’s reach. He told The Christian Post that: “When we have The Great Commission to preach the Gospel to all nations and make disciples, it’s more than just translating the Bible into different languages. It’s also equipping, encouraging and building the churches out there to be the hands and feet with digital content as well, that they understand in their own language” The Life Without Limbs founder revealed that two thirds of his 16 million social media followers do not speak English. That led him to develop the software which incorporates AI voice dubbing ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – The Best way to grow old together. – By Charles Schokman Image Source : quotepics You know you’re getting old when you look through your car steering wheel, rather than over it OR when you can no longer cut your own toenails OR when you and your teeth don’t sleep together. In other words, getting old(er) is not for sissies. We are in a war with ageing. The problem with that war on ageing is that it can’t be won. No one ever grows young, we wake up each day one day older – no one avoids this rule – like it or not. An easy question to answer is: what is the worst about growing old? A harder question is, what is best about growing old? Older adults are measured by the word ‘still’ – can I still drive, can I still walk, can I still chew? The good news is that ...

SONGS OF PRAISE – A hymn dedicated for the New Year-2024 – By Charles Schokman As the young minister travelled through the rugged country near England’s Cheddar Gorge, the clouds burst and torrential sheets of rain pummelted the earth. The weary traveller was able to find shelter standing under a rocky overhang. There, protected from the buffeting wind and rain, Augustus Toplady conceived one of the most popular hymns ever written, “Rock of Ages, Cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.” In March 1776 Toplady published the hymn as part of an article in The Gospel Magazine<, which he edited. He wrote that just as England could never pay her national debt, so man could never by his own merits satisfy the justice of God. In the middle of the article, he burst into song, printing for the first time the hymn “Rock of Ages”, which so ably ...

TO ALL OUR RELATIONS, FRIENDS & EMAIL CONTACTS – By Charles Schokman Now that we have come to the end of another year and on the threshold of a New Year it’s good to reflect on the past. Some may have been struck by illness, the loss of a loved one or met with unexpected tribulations. Others may have had everything going well for them. Whatever the situation may be, we are reminded ‘In all things give thanks to God’ In a busy life it is so easy to neglect to say ‘thank you’. It seems to be human nature. Jesus healed ten lepers of their dread disease, but only one came back to say ‘thank you’ God warned his people against ungrateful hearts because that would only lead them to forgetting God and deluding themselves that they had produced the blessings by their own power and ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Give them all to Jesus – By Charles Schokman Years ago a man name Phil Johnson wrote a song that literally took much of Christianity by storm. It was entitled, ”Give them all to Jesus.” Here are the lyrics: Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows? Are you tired of spinning round and round? Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life and at the feet of Jesus lay them down. He never promised you’d always see sunshine. He never promised there’d be no more rain. He only promised a heart from of singing about the very things that once brought pain. Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus; Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, and broken toys. Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus; And He will turn your sorrow into Joy. With this lyric, Phil is calling us ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of December 2023 – By Charles Schokman Christmas Image Source : Menyekanaburundi Facebook It was in the night that the Shepard saw the most amazing thing. It was seen first by a few, those who kept watch, but then they awoke the others from their slumber. It made them wonder why the night sky was like this, why a new star, why the heavens shimmered, why the earth glowed, eclipsed the normal constellations. As they gathered around the fires, the heavens were a blaze and burned with brilliance-their wonder turned to fear, for they sensed the magnitude of the night, for the world they knew would never be the same. It seems that we so often meet the divine with fear. Do we fear what we must leave behind, or fear more where we must go? We fear the unfamiliar and find safety in the ...
