SUNDAY CHOICE – I SPEAK JESUS – By Charles Schokman This is the title of a song released by a band called Here Be Lions. The likes of Darlene Zschech helped to propel it to prominence amongst the Christian community in 2021. The first time I heard this song the impact and deep meaning of all the lyrics brought me to my knees. While I may be privileged not to suffer from mental illness, I have worked with a lot of people who do, and this song really makes my heart bleed for them. Check it out on Youtube: See, just like the song – I just want to speak the name of Jesus. I want to speak it over every heart and every mind. The name of Jesus is above all things. He belongs on the thrones of our hearts. He calls us to worship God with everything – to love ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of May 2024 – By Charles Schokman Irene Shand-Len shares with us the miracle of what takes place in the womb during pregnancy. Your First Nine Months! In the first nine months of your biography, you hit major milestones. The road to fertilisation that resulted in your life is a bumpy one. We know the science and can only wonder at the miracle of egg and sperm successfully implanting and conceiving. And then the miracles don’t stop. From the 1st day of conception, cells begin to multiply and burrow into the wall of the womb. The sex of the fetus is already determined. After 15 days the heart and eyes are developing. In just 20 days the brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid and the heart begins to pulse at around 24 days. The heart is one of the earliest differentiated and ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – GOD WATCHES OVER YOU – by Charles Schokman Psalm 121:5-8 NIV 5 The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. How many times has God protected you that you didn’t even know about? He stopped that car that should have hit you, stopped the person that wanted to harm you, stopped the trouble before it got to you. You never knew anything about it, but His hand of favour, protection, and mercy was watching after you, keeping you from harm’s way. Sure, we can all find reasons to live afraid, worried, uptight. But when you understand Who’s watching after you, Who’s ordering your steps, Who’s fighting your battles, Who’s holding back the darkness, then ...
