The peace of God — Angus Buchan
What a beautiful scripture in John 14:27. We are living in a world that is full of turmoil, and fear, and anger, and especially confusion. People are not knowing what to do, where to go and what’s going to happen the next day. The Lord says to us very clearly: […]
Yield to the Potter — Angus Buchan

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 […]
