Gospel Truth – By Lakshman Navaratne Sticks and stones can break our Bones, Idle Talk will Kill our Soul! 2000 years ago, New Testament writer, Apostle Paul wrote to the faithful followers of Christ at Corinth; 2 Corinthians 3:6,” He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

PRINCE OF PEACE CHRISTIANITYISME (The Narrow Path) – By Lakshman Navaratne 4 billion humans alive on this earth, operating in the name of Christ, will comprehend the imagination of the writer’s precept of the “Prince of Peace”. Nobody is a Christian, unless one has received the Baptism of Pentecost![A] This is the same Baptism, Jesus born of Mary, received at the age of 30 at the banks of the river Jordon, while been immersed in the water. The baptism of repentance, through John the Baptist, Baptism of the Spirit through the Maker of Humanity. Only scripture have the truth written in letter, reason why we have to Die? Only Scripture says we were made in the image of our Maker, our Maker is Eternal and so are we, should also be eternal? The wisdom of the Scripture documents “wage of Sin is death”. Since Adam losing the ingredient “Faith” in ...

SONGS OF PRAISE – Jesus Loves Me – By Charles Schokman “Jesus loves me – this I know, For the Bible tells me so: If you have been a Christian for very long, then you have probably heard the famous children’s song, “Jesus Loves Me.” It is played in most churches and Christian homes across the world. Have you ever wondered about its origin or the author’s story? Two sisters, Anna and Susan Warner, became writers after their father passed away. They were left with very little and needed the means to survive. Both women became quite the writers, with Susan publishing several well-known novels and Anna publishing collections of hymns. They lived together on the Hudson River in New York. Their house was next to a military academy for young boys, so they soon began to teach the Bible at the Academy. They spent many years teaching the boys ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – GRASPING THE CROSS A message for Lent – By Charles Schokman Not that I have . . . already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me– Philippians 3:12 In 1856, Charles Spurgeon, the great London preacher, founded the Pastors’ College to train men for the Christian ministry. It was renamed Spurgeon’s College in 1923. Today’s college crest shows a hand grasping a cross and the Latin words, Et Teneo, Et Teneor, which means, “I hold and am held.” In his autobiography, Spurgeon wrote, “This is our College motto. We . . . hold forth the Cross of Christ with a bold hand . . . because that Cross holds us fast by its attractive power. Our desire is that every man may both hold the Truth, and be held by it; especially the truth of Christ ...
A THOUGHTFUL MESSAGE FOR CHRISTMAS – The Work of Christmas Begins: A Poem By Howard Thurman The day after Christmas can be a letdown. For weeks, sometimes months in advance, we prepare for the coming of this single day. We write Christmas lists, gather lists from others, go shopping for gifts, put up decorations, listen to seasonal music, plan elaborate meals, light candles on the Advent wreath and then the day comes and goes in 24 hours just like any other day. Then what? All of that build-up for a brief few moments that swiftly join the stream of history leave us with a sense of both fatigue and bewilderment. What comes next? Christian theologian and mystic, Howard Thurman, viewed the days after Christmas from a spiritual perspective. He wrote a poem, “The Work of Christmas Begins,” to express his sentiments. Properly understood, our work is only just beginning after ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – The Bells of Heaven – A true story In my first film series, “Focus on the Family,” I shared a story about a 5-year-old African-American boy who will never be forgotten by those who knew him. A nurse with whom I worked, Gracie Schaeffler, took care of this lad during the latter days of his life. He was dying of lung cancer, which is a terrifying disease in its final stages. The lungs fill with fluid, and the patient is unable to breathe. It is terribly claustrophobic, especially for a small child. This little boy had a Christian mother who loved him and stayed by his side through the long ordeal. She cradled him on her lap and talked softly about the Lord. Instinctively, the woman was preparing her son for the final hours to come. Gracie told me that she entered his room one day as death approached, ...

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF – SUNDAY CHOICE – by Charles Schokman “For all of us who lived the Christian faith, we have definitely heard the phrase “Love Your Neighbour As Yourself.” But what does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Do we truly understand the way Jesus Christ intended? How to Love Your Neighbour as Yourself. When Christ was asked what the greatest of all the commandments was, it was not asked in earnest by someone who sincerely wanted to know. Rather, it was asked by someone who considered himself to be an expert in the law of the prophets, who only wanted to test Jesus. When this question “Who is my neighbour?” was put to Jesus by a Pharisee. Instead of giving a direct answer, Jesus Christ turned the question on the Pharisee by telling the parable of the Good Samaritan.— https://www.samaritaninns.org/parable/ So with Christ’s answer of ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – HAPPY FATHER’S DAY “Train up a child in the way he should go—but be sure you go that way yourself.” “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian…and most of all, his family ought to know.” “My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” A child once said, ” The greatest gift I ever had, came from God. I call him DAD!”. It’s true that any man can be a father but it takes only one special person to be a Dad. God, our Father in Heaven loved us first and He loves us unconditionally. We, fathers need to give that same love to our children. But as for sons and daughters, may we always be reminded of the “father’s love”. While our fathers are ...
