    What we believe - our faith - is acted out in service to others.

    I want to ask you a couple of questions and then I want to present you with a challenge. The questions are these: Do you love the Lord?

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more
