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.

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 […]
Turn on the switch! — Angus Buchan
John 12:46 (NKJV) I have come as a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. Early this morning as I was rising, we had another power cut, so I made my dear wife, Jill, a cup of tea with the torch on the […]
