I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 5th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of John 17:17:

”Sanctify them by Your truth. Your Word is truth.”

Then we go straight to John 4:42:

”Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”

Remember what happened? After Jesus had told the woman at the well her whole life story, she knew that He was a prophet indeed, and she ran into the village and told them, ”I’ve found the Master. I found the Messiah.” She told them that He has just told her her whole life story and she’s never seen Him before. Isn’t that amazing? Then the whole village was saved and they came out to meet Jesus at the well, and that is when they said, ”We don’t believe that He is the Christ because of your story. No, we believe He is the Christ, not because of your words but because we have heard it for ourselves.”

I want to tell you today, and I’m saying this with the greatest love, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ultimate authority. Now, He is the Word. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. (John 1:1) People are not interested in our opinions, they want to know what Jesus says about the matter. That’s why when you go to a high court and you have to give evidence, they make you put your hand on the Bible and they ask you to swear that you’ll tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God. Why? Because God’s Word is final. It is the ultimate answer.

I want to speak to families who are experiencing disputes within their family. You want to know about inheritance; you want to know who’s going to get the business; who is going to get the farm when dad dies, or maybe dad has died, or what’s going to happen with the children when they leave school? You need to go to the Bible. You need to go to the Word and see what the Lord Jesus says about the situation. You say, ”No, but times have changed now.” No, they haven’t. Nothing has changed. Go to the Word, hear what God says and apply it to your family, to your situation, your workplace, wherever it might be, and you’ll be surprised how things will be agreed to, not because of what you said, not because of what I said, but because of what the Word says.

Jesus bless you and have a lovely day,
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 4th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of John 4:34:

“Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”

We want to speak about food. What is your favourite food? Well, being a cattle farmer, my favourite food has got to be steak! I know that I have one young man who is very dear to me, and his favourite food is vegetables because he is a vegan. So we have got a lot of things to talk about. He respects what I love and I respect what he loves. But you know, we are not talking about that kind of food, are we? No. We are talking about doing the will of the Father. That is what fills us up more than any physical food.

I love to carry a pocketful of sweets. That’s right. I can hear mothers say, “That is not good for the children.” Well, mom, a little sweet is not going to hurt them, and when I go to church these little children come and stand around me and I know why they are there, because they know I have a sweetie for them. Visitors must think, “Aah, look at the way the children flock to Uncle Angus - oh, it must be because he is a holy man.” No, it’s because children love sweets! But folks, I want to tell you now, it’s so important to do the thing that God has told you to do. Jesus said, “My food is to do the will of Him (His Heavenly Father who sent Him)…” And not only that, but to finish the job.

I don’t know about you, but when I have had the chance to speak to somebody who is struggling, someone who just needs prayer, or a young person who needs godly counsel, that is the food that sustains me. After I have been to a meeting where I have been able to pray for someone in hospital, where I have been able to preach the Gospel to a crowd of people and see the response, that fills me more than any physical food.

Today, go out and do the will of Jesus Christ and love people, and I want to tell you, you will be filled to the brim, pressed down, shaken together and running over.

Jesus bless you today, as you eat the food that the Father is going to give you.
God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 3rd of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

If you listen very carefully, you can hear the rain on my tin roof. Oh, it’s like music from heaven, I tell you what!

We start in the Book of Leviticus 11:44:

”…and you shall be holy; for I am holy.”

That’s the Lord speaking. We go to 1 Peter 1:16:

”because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

You and I serve a holy God. Holiness is so important in our lifestyle, the way in which we love our Lord and Saviour, and people can see it from far. Oh, I want to tell you, they are watching you and they are watching me. The way in which we behave towards our beloved Jesus. If we love Him, we must respect Him, we must honour Him and we must give Him first place in our lives always. Do you know that the scribes in the Bible would change their clothes and wash their bodies before they even wrote the name of Jehovah on a parchment? Isn’t that amazing? When an Orthodox Jew writes me a letter and he signs the letter at the bottom and says, “God bless you”, he spells God, G-D, He will not even write the name of God.

I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing more pleasing to the eye than to see the way in which a young man or a young woman respects their elders. I love it. I love to see a young man walk an old lady across the road when she’s waiting for the traffic lights to change. I love to see the way in which a young man will take an old man’s rucksack and put it on his back and carry it for him with out even being asked, but I also want to say to you, there’s nothing more hurtful for me and I’m sure for you, than to see young people pushing old people aside so they can be first in the queue. It’s very disrespectful.

When you go to the house of the Lord, remember you are going to honour God and one day you are going to see Him, face to face. It is going to be a glorious day. I know what’s going to happen. He will run to you and love and hug you, but never forget that He is a holy God who deserves our love and utmost respect at all times.

God bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
