In 2010 a Scottish Humanist billboard declared '2 million Scots are good without God'. But if goodness is a fruit of the Spirit, is that even possible?
Faith when you feel forsaken
The reality of faith in a fallen world means that sometimes God may seem far away | Psalm 13
Now to him who is able
One of the greatest encouragements to prayer in the Bible | Ephesians 3:20-21
War of Words
A song for a time when believers are scarce and empty words prevail | Psalm 12
Kindness
‘It would help the Church more than anything else if Christians would from time to time do a bonnie thing’ - J. P. Struthers (RPCS minister in Whithorn and Greenock) | Galatians 5:22
The Crisis of the Kingdom & the Confidence of the King
When all around seems to be falling apart - and his friends are advising him to take the easy option and save himself - what will God’s anointed king do? | Psalm 11
Patience
The Bible's call for us to be patient is rooted in how patient God has been with us | Galatians 5:22
The death of a king advances God's plan
Saul reaps what he has sown - but the seemingly tragic death of a king actually advances God's plan | 1 Samuel 31
The Fruit of the Spirit is Peace
This part of the Fruit of the Spirit isn’t so much about vertical peace (with God) or inner peace (the opposite of anxiety), but horizontal peace with other people | Galatians 5:22
A King who Gives
God's king is a suffering king, he looks to God when he's in trouble, and he wins a great victory and shares the spoil with his friends | 1 Samuel 30
