SUNDAY CHOICE – COME AS YOU ARE – By Charles Schokman “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”. – Matthew 11:28-29, NIV More About This Verse—Its meaning:— This is an invitation by the one and only Jesus. If you’re tired and struggling, He can give you rest. This also describes the path to God the Father, but it is not one of labour and hard work. Following Jesus frees us from carrying the burden of our own sin because He has already done that work.  All we need to do is put our faith, hope, and trust in Jesus. To take His yoke is to commit to Him and put ourselves under the protection and authority ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – THE CROSS HAS THE FINAL WORD – By Charles Schokman Image Source : facebook THE CROSS HAS THE FINAL WORD Cody Carnes tells of his personal story behind this song. I wrote this song while I was battling with fear, personally, and it dictated the direction of the whole album. The song was written on Good Friday. Although I was dealing with fear, I sat down to read the story of Christ’s crucifixion. As I was reading The Bible, I felt God saying to me “the cross has the final word.” I had this raging sea of emotions inside of me, and that one statement calmed everything in that moment. It reminded me that I don’t have to buy into the lie that evil is rising up. His dying on the cross for our sins has power over death and sin.  I had been thinking about where our ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Are you weary are you heavy laden?- By Charles Schokman Jesus said–“Be still, and know that I am God;–Psalm 46:10 Are you in anyway troubled in Mind, Body or Spirit? Listen to what Jesus has to say:— God’s Longing To the listening ear I speak, to the waiting heart I come. Sometimes, I may not speak. I may ask you merely to wait in My Presence, to know that I am with you. Think of the multitudes who thronged Me when I was on earth all eager for something. Eager to be healed, or taught, or fed. Think as I supplied their many wants, and granted their manifold requests, what it meant to Me, to find amid the crowd, some one or two, who followed Me just to be near Me, just to dwell in My Presence. How some longing of the Eternal Heart was satisfied thereby. ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – JUST TODAY- By Charles Schokman Read the story behind this song about not worrying about the future, and listen to the song! As a young girl Helen was full of thoughts about the future and questions about how God wanted her to live her life. In her need to find God’s will, He inspired her to write this song. It helped her through these times, and has helped many others since. Read her story and listen to the song yourself! “The ‘Teens’ and ‘Twenties’ can be a time of change and decision for many young people. Maybe they get married, or continue their education and settle into a career, or maybe they are not at all sure what to do with themselves. “For me, as an unmarried girl in my mid-twenties, it was a time when many thoughts went around in my head as to what the ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – I RATHER HAVE JESUS – By Charles Schokman “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.”-Philippians 3:18  This song was written by George Beverly Shea in 1933. He was encouraged by his mother to put music to a poem she liked by Rhea Miller. It was her hope that in putting together this hymn, her son would find new direction for his talent. And in fact he did, touring the world as a soloist with Billy Graham. I cannot hear it without remembering the joke of a former boyfriend. He said if we ever got married, he would sing this as I came down the aisle!! Image Source : godtube Today’s verse made me think of this song that says “I’d rather have ...

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 ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Let this message be your “Anchor of Trust” for 2024 – By Charles Schokman I have heard this in my spirit for weeks, “Nothing is impossible with God.”Not only have I been hearing this from God, but numerous prophetic words are declaring the same thing. The best part is it comes straight from the word of God. It Is His promise to us as believers                                                                                                                                                  The Bible has a great deal to say about the ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – God is the Good Shepherd – By Charles Schokman In the New Testament, Christians are referred to as sheep, and God is the Good Shepherd, and we are the sheep of His pastures. Sheep depend on the shepherds to care, protect, and guide them along life’s journey, bringing them to a safe place to graze. In this season, the sounds of the world are beginning to weigh us down, causing even the strongest ones to grow weary, and if we aren’t mindful, we’ll become downcast. The devil wants to keep us turned upside down in our circumstances. However, in Jesus Christ, we can find rest for our weary souls. If you find yourself in a season of heaviness, lost with feelings of hopelessness, the Lord says, “I want to shepherd the hearts of My people.” We encourage you to stir your faith up in the Lord, allowing the ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Be Thou My Guide & Vision – By Charles Schokman Life this side of heaven provides a head-spinning range of options, and our Creator grants us the freedom to choose. We know right from wrong because God writes His commandments on our hearts. We are free to obey, or not, but once we choose, the consequences are not under our control. We cannot use our human abilities to know God’s ways, but the Holy Spirit works faith in our heart to seek God’s wisdom and His promise of salvation to us. Our heavenly Father does not abandon us to our damning choices. Rather, He offers the gift of His Word to create faith in our Saviour, reveal Himself, and show us how to live. God wants us to choose, out of love for Him, to trust His guidance in His Word and to believe it.   Be ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – JESUS NEVER FAILS – By Charles Schokman God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).   What comfort, confidence, and blessed assurance to know that you can trust God with your life! You can depend on Him to take care of you and guide you into your destiny; the destiny of His working! He’s trustworthy, faithful and reliable! He never fails. When you trust in the Lord you shall not be confounded (1 Peter 2:6). That means you’ll never be disgraced or “put to the blush,” for trusting God. The Scripture is replete with testimonies of those who, in defiance of life-threatening circumstances, demonstrated absolute trust and confidence in God and experienced a miracle. The ...
