Today I almost lost someone. I am not going to tell you who. I am not going to tell you the details, because somebody else’s darkest hour is not mine to expose. But I am going to tell you what it did to me. It frightened me. Not the kind of fear that comes from…

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. (Deut 31:8) I don’t think we understand how serious a promise like this actually is. We read it. We underline it. We post it. We send it…

Part 4: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Rom 8:1) Yesterday I ended with four words: Be forgiven today. It sounded simple when I wrote it. But then I started thinking… What happens when God has forgiven me, but I am still carrying the guilt? Because I think…

Part 3: “Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.” (Psalm 32:5) In Part 2, I ended with this: There is freedom in owning it. I said that taking responsibility feels heavy when I think responsibility means condemnation. But it becomes freeing when I realise responsibility leads me to…

Part 2: “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” (Prov 28:13) In Part 1, I said it: I am guilty. I have missed the mark. And if I am going to be completely honest, admitting that is only the beginning. Because apparently I have another…

Part 1: The Truth About Sin “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23) Today I heard a sermon called Guilty, But Forgiven. And I think I am going to sit with this one for a while. Actually, I think I am going to write about it for a…

“Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (Psalm 34:5) Sometimes I think we’ve made following Jesus far more complicated than He ever intended. We chase formulas. We look for the next conference, the next sermon, the next five-step plan to become a better Christian. Yet if you opened…

“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” (Jam 1:6) Have you ever wondered why some seasons leave you feeling completely disoriented? One moment you are convinced God is faithful. The next moment fear convinces…

There is something we have forgotten in today’s world. Just because you think it, doesn’t mean you should say it. Not every fear deserves a microphone. Not every frustration deserves an audience. Not every passing emotion deserves to become a declaration. Our words are powerful because they reveal what we truly believe. David understood this…

Edinburgh feels like a city that remembers. Its ancient castle stands high above the streets, weathering wars, kings, queens, victories and heartbreak. Generation after generation has passed beneath its shadow, yet it still stands. Strong. Unmoved. Steadfast. As I walked through its stone streets, I found myself thinking that perhaps this is exactly what God…
