SUNDAY CHOICE – What does Psalm 139:23 mean? – By Charles Schokman Image Source : Proverbs 3:5-6 FaceBook Page We see the evidence of the depth of David’s relationship with God in this Psalm. He certainly was a person after God’s own heart, as Scripture says (1 Samuel 13:14). In this prayer David invites God to test his thoughts. And the focus here is directly on what is within him. He wants God to look inside of him, his inner person, so that he is assured that God knows what is in his heart. In Psalm 26:2 he says: “Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.” Every child of God should urge the Holy Spirit to probe deep within their heart to see if they are abiding in the Word of God and doing His will for their life. What David is concerned with and wants God to ...

The Significance of Poson Poya Day in Sri Lanka-by Kalani-eLanka Poson Poya Day, celebrated annually in June, is one of the most important Buddhist holidays in Sri Lanka.

This event, which took place at Mihintale near Anuradhapura, is considered a pivotal moment in Sri Lankan history. The conversion of the king and his people to Buddhism marked the beginning of a new era for the island, influencing its spiritual and ...

A musical journey back in time. When a music genre can take you back in time.- By Aubrey Joachim I turned into my mid-twenties a few hours ago. Yes, I did. No I have not come upon the secret of reverse aging nor discovered a new elixir. I was at the ABBA arena at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London attending ‘ABBA Voyage’ the high-tech AI created musical show reliving the halcyon days of my youth. Hours after the show I am still finding it difficult to get back to reality. My mind and body are young again. The 3,000 seat arena was jam packed. For the first time I was at a venue that had a configuration of dance floor and tiered seating. The dance floor had a capacity of 1,600 and the seating was 1,400. And on this summer Friday night in London the venue was jam ...
