The Asbury outpouring, remembering revivals and the prophet Habakkuk
Let me start by sharing three stories: It was August 1727, and a small community of Moravian refugees, troubled by their bitter divisions and disagreements, started a humble prayer meeting in an unassuming village in Germany. They began in groups of two or three for one-hour slots, 24 hours a day,…

Reflections: The SNP leadership race and the importance of religious freedom in the corridors of government
Originally I wasn’t going to bother. Firstly, because so many Christian commentators and reflectors have already highlighted the important points of the situation. Secondly, so much of the political journalism is so farcical that it is hardly worth the time to comment. However, I felt I should…
Asbury outpouring | Being Human
It was Wednesday, 8 February 2023, and students at Asbury University in Kentucky attended a routine chapel service. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until a handful of students responded to an altar call and strikingly, all refused to leave. Since that Wednesday thousands of people, from all…
