Over twenty people gathered in the home where we were staying on Tuesday night in Fife. Six nations were represented too. The plan for the night was a “fellowship night” and we were asked to speak.

We spoke about who we were to lay some foundation, and then I did a Bible story about Moses from the Old Testament and we dialogued about it with the group for over fifty minutes.

The place was abuzz afterwards with all that the LORD showed us in that story and I was invited to come to a local church to speak on a Sunday morning at the end of the month, so a story can be presented to the children and adults attending that morning service.

And so, after travelling leisurely across Scotland we find ourselves now in Oban on the west coast. After a delicious meal of some of the finest seafood I have ever tasted, we came back to our lodging and got involved in conversation with our host, a man who has studied divinity but has failed to find God. His personal heart cries lie unanswered and his theological objections to the character of God remain. I spoke to him of my own testimony and about how God wants to find him in relationships rather than religion, and I urged him to seek God to answer his heart’s longing by praying to the LORD to know Jesus personally as He was (as portrayed in the Gospels), and to see and know Jesus as He is today … unchanged and still longing to know and relate with him personally.
