SUNDAY CHOICE – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation – by Charles Schokman 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;  old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Being a child Everyone understands what it means to be a child – we have been born from a mother and father. As babies and toddlers we are completely dependent on our parents – to love us feed us, teach us and help us to grow into responsible adults. God created us all and so we are all children of God. But sadly we have all rebelled and sin has broken our relationship with the Father. God is continually calling out to his children to return to Him, so that the father/child relationship can be restored. John 3:3 says “unless you are born again you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven”. Nicodemus, the man to whom Jesus ...

An amazing commitment to live up to – By Charles Schokman The Fellowship of the Unashamed I am part of the “Fellowship of the Unashamed.”  I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I’ve stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking , chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals! I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.  I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognised  praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, live by prayer, and labor by power.  My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal ...

When I pass this Earth – by Charmaine Candappa ( In memory of my brother ) When I pass this earth, the sky will turn around and look at you When I pass this earth, the salaniya will call in other languages When I pass this earth, the Koi fish will swirl around and around in the pond When I pass this earth, the orchids will nod gently in the breeze When I pass this earth, the guava will fall from the trees into your hands When I pass this earth I will take nothing, not even your fingerprints.

The injuries sustained as a result of a fractured skull and bleeding from her brain, were intense.
