Separating the Man from the Myth

Every December, the same old argument breaks out in Bible-believing circles:

Folks, let me tell you something that ought to break your heart.

The Bible says the day would come when people “will not endure sound doctrine… they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4 NKJV). That day isn’t coming to Scotland – it’s been living in St Giles and Canterbury for years.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.” (Haggai 1:7 NKJV)

In 2025, three church buildings in and around Glasgow were reduced to ashes. The newspapers called it tragic. The Holy Spirit called it a warning.

To the world, they were just old buildings catching fire. To those with eyes to see, they are solemn signposts of a deeper tragedy.

10 September 2025, Charlie Kirk was murdered on the campus of Utah Valley University. A single bullet silenced a 31-year-old voice that loved Jesus and loved America. Sixty-seven days later, on Sunday 16 November 2025, the same courtyard was packed again… this time with 5,000 people singing “Holy Forever” at the top of their lungs. That night was the Hope for America Crusade with Greg Laurie, Chris Tomlin, and Phil Wickham. And what the devil meant for evil, God turned into one of the most powerful gospel meetings I’ve ever watched.
