Well, folks, here we are on Valentine's Day again. As I was running over Conic Hill last night, thinking about this devotional today, running past the SPAR grocery store in Drymen, the shop is full of hearts and flowers, cards and candy. But let's take a moment and turn to t
You know, folks, life has a way of bringing us to places we never expected. Back in 2012 and 2013, my wife and I went through something that broke our hearts wide open ~ we lost two precious babies in the womb to miscarriage.

God's Way of Speaking in the Old Days – And How Much Better It Is Now
I have been watching Tyler Gaulden of Hillcrest Baptist Church doing a teaching series on the temple and priests. As I watch and study what he is teaching and go through the Word of Go
From Avoiding Judgment to Adoring His Presence
In the quiet moments, yesterday, while hiking up a local hill here in Helensburgh, away from the noise of the world, I’ve felt it, a deep longing to be close to God, to dwell in His presence, to escape the pull of this sinful ag
Jeremiah 49:34-39
You know, folks, as we go through the Bible and even in your own reading, we come to these prophecies against the nations, and they remind us that God is sovereign over every kingdom on earth.
This verse caught me the other day, and it can be found in 2 Corinthians 4:16. Paul writes, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (NKJV).
As a Christian from Scotland, shaped by Calvary Chapel’s grace-focused teachings and now part of a Reformed community, I watched Wandering Emma’s YouTube video about Mea Shearim, an Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jewish neighbourhood in Jerusalem.
My heart’s breaking as we hit 600 days, since October 7, 2023, when 58 people, from children to grandparents, have been held in Hamas’s dungeon tunnels in Gaza.
This morning, I woke up to the tragic news, grieving the whole day of the devastating murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. The couple, set to marry, was killed in Washington, D.C. on May 20, 2025. They were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when a terrorist attacked them. Yaron and Sarah were Israeli Embassy staff and Jesus followers.
On May 14, 2025, Tzeela Gez, 30, was tragically murdered in a terror attack on Highway 446 in Samaria. She was on her way to give birth when terrorists shot at her car. Her husband, Hananel Gez, survived with light injuries. Doctors performed an emergency C-section to save their newborn son, Ravid Chaim, who remains in serious condition.
Pastor Brandon Holthaus, in his recent Tip of the Spear YouTube Short. He powerfully debunks the “woke media” lie that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, this is a false narrative that I’ve seen comments on social media that really gets me angry. They are buying into the false news that distorts the truth about Israel’s lawful defense against Hamas, a terrorist group responsible for the October 7, 2023, attack killing 1,218 Israelis.
