The present — Angus Buchan
Ephesians 5: 16 — …redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” We are to live for the present, “right now”, in fact. I received a beautiful letter from dear friends in the USA, the heart of the letter was all about time. They said, knowing that the future has been […]
Gentleness of Jesus — Angus Buchan
There is no one who has ever lived on this Earth, who is as gentle as our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, that gentleness, like self-control and meekness, is actually “controlled strength”. In the book of Isaiah chapter 42, verse three, the Bible tells us that our Lord is so […]

Hardship — Angus Buchan
Robert Schuller once said: “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” No pain, no gain.

Lukewarm — Angus Buchan
I learnt many years ago as a young man, that if I was not going forward, I was definitely slipping backwards. There is no such thing as being in neutral. You are either expanding or your losing ground. The Word of God in Revelation 3:16 (NKJV), reads: “So then, because […]
‘A quiet and peaceful life’ — Angus Buchan
If we go to the Word of God in the first book of 1 Timothy 2:2 — “Lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and]reverence for this is good and acceptable in the sight of our Saviour.” We have to stop chasing our tail, as they say, rushing […]
Key to success — Angus Buchan
In the Gospel of Matthew 6:33 the Bible tells us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all these other things will be added unto us. Doing some research, I just realiSed that being a successful businessman is not a coincidence, no, it comes through […]
Count the cost — Angus Buchan
We need to count the cost when we are running the race for the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul knew about this and he said in Philippians 3.12 (NKJV) — “Not that I have already attained,[a] or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ […]
