Angus Buchan

Angus encourages us today by reminding us of Father God's amazing love for us. God does not punish us for our mistakes, but rejoices when we return to Him!

Luke 15:1-5
"Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing."

Time is up

Jeremiah 8:20

Jeremiah 8:20. If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, please do it. A farmer understands about seasons, you cannot be too slow to harvest a crop when it is ready to be harvested. If you have drifted from the Lord, then you need to repent, because Jesus is coming back soon.

Remember His favour

1 Samuel 7:12, Luke 9:62

Samuel 7:12. Luke 9:62. It is good to remember the things we have been through and that the Lord has been with us all the way through the past. It encourages us as we think about how far we have come because of God's hand on us. He will also be with us right through to the end.

The vow

Judges 11:30–31, Judges 11:35

A vow is a solemn promise. If we make a promise, then we need to keep it. We should let our yes be yes and our no be no. Judges 11:30-31, 35. We also need to be careful what promises we make.
