As a Christian, I’ve walked a road that many of you may relate to. Years ago, I found myself “living in sin”, cohabiting with a partner outside of marriage, a phrase we in Scotland know well. I justified it, leaning on liberal Bible teachers who softened God’s Word to fit...
Recreational drug use, sadly, is very much part of the culture in Scotland; we endure the stigma of the drunkard stereotype associated with the impoverished Glaswegian character Rab C. Nesbitt. Now, we are stigmatised by the Trainspotting generation, those born in the 80’s and 90’s. This term is frequently discussed...
A Group Making Big Claims A group called the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is based in Crewe, England, not far from us in Scotland. Their leader, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, says he is the Mahdi, an Islamic saviour. He claims to be the true Pope and a successor...

In Ezekiel 36:24 (NKJV), God declares, “For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.” This prophetic assurance, rooted in the Hebrew v’laqachti (“I will take”) and v’qibbasti (“I will gather”), was vividly fulfilled in 1948 when...
Standing Firm in the Armour of God on St. George’s Day Devotional Scripture: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”, Ephesians 6:10-11...
Growing up in the Free Church of Scotland, known as the “Wee Frees,” I was steeped in a faith that felt more like rules than relationship. Strict Sabbath-keeping, distrust of anything Catholic, and a legalistic lens shaped my early years in Scotland. But God had a different path for me,...
A Win for God’s Plan On April 16, 2025, Susan Smith and Marion Calder, the brilliant ladies behind “For Women Scotland”, were all smiles outside the UK Supreme Court. They’d just won a cracking ruling that says “woman” and “sex” mean biological females in the Equality Act 2010. A friend...
One woman who blazed a trail of defiance in the storm of England’s Reformation, wielding Scripture like a torch against Catholic and Protestant powers alike. Joan Bocher, known as Joan of Kent, Joan Knell, or Joan Bouche, was burned at the stake on May 2, 1550, at Smithfield, London. An...
