and times of trouble and distress. ‘The Board thanks Rev. Alex J. MacDonald and the members the Panel of Pastoral Care which he convenes, for all their work on behalf of the Church. Mr MacDonald will be invited to address the General Assembly. We encourage individuals and church courts to contact him for his help and advice.’ •

The Board of Ministry report to the General Assembly struck a cautionary note on the state of the Church in Scotland and raised concerns about the low numbers entering the ministry, particularly within the Free Church of Scotland. ‘37% of Scots claim to have no religion. Fewer than 9% attend any kind of church and it seems likely that less than 1% of our nation regularly hears faithful biblical teaching. Yet the numbers undertaking training for gospel ministry are relatively small. ‘Since the last General Assembly, the Board of Ministry has recognised only two new candidates for the ministry, although we have some applications in process from other enquirers.’

MISSION BOARD REPORT This year’s Mission Board Report to the General Assembly highlighted some of the considerable work which has been carried out across the denomination over the past year through Church Planting, Church Development, Church Equipping and Global Mission. Mission Board Chairman Rev. Bob Akroyd began the 2019 report with a reminder of the Church’s mission as well as some of the challenges currently being faced. ‘We want to see established congregations strengthened, new churches planted, Christians of all ages built up in their faith and equipped to serve while partnering with the global church to fulfil the Lord Jesus’ Great Commission. Thankfully we do not need to determine what our mission is.

Mission Board Chairman Rev. Dr. Bob Akroyd

Although overall attendance in the Free Church has steadily been on the rise in recent years, many congregations are without a resident minister. ‘The Church has about twice as many vacancies as qualified personnel available to accept a call. It seems unlikely that God is failing to call a new generation of gospel workers for his Kingdom work in Scotland, so we as a Church should be deeply concerned as to why so few candidates are coming forward for service in the Free Church. Other denominations face similar challenges, so it may be beneficial to have an honest discussion in our Kirk Sessions and in the General Assembly about the causes and remedies for this problem.’ For those currently in ministry, the Board said they were keen to ‘encourage a supportive culture of mentoring and mutual accountability among the ministers and members of our presbyteries.’ The report reiterated the commitment of the Board and the Pastoral Support Worker Rev. Alex J. MacDonald to the wellbeing of all ministers and their families. ‘The support of our ministry families should be a priority for us as we learn how to care for each other in good times

‘However, we do need to consider how best to marshal and deploy our existing human and financial resources into a harvest field that is already ripe for harvest. One pressing need may outstrip all others; namely, that we need more workers to go into the harvest field. The need is perennial, but our present level of personnel cannot meet the needs of existing congregations nor resource potential church plants. So please take this report, read it and pray about all that it contains that God might be pleased to use our small denomination in the outworking of the great commission.’ Church Planting Currently, there are eight church plants around the country under the oversight of the Board: Govan G51, Stirling, Cornerstone, Esk Valley, Charleston, Christ Church Glasgow, Haddington Community Church and Merkinch. These plants are showing positive signs of growth and momentum within the communities they serve. The Board was pleased to receive an application from the Glasgow and Argyll Presbytery in relation to the Stirling church plant, led by Rev. Iain MacAskill, >>

no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many’ (Hebrews 12:15, NIV). A bitter person is never a happy person.

fter his thoughts on the relative merits of attending a party or a funeral ,

Solomon now moves on to consider how we reflect upon our times (ch.7:7-14). In a series of warnings he tells us to beware of bribery, pride, anger and nostalgia. He tells us that oppression or extortion makes a person foolish and that the temptation of bribery can bring the whole inner life of a man to ruin. He offers us some basic wisdom that I find helpful in getting me through life.

DON’T PINE FOR THE PAST You cannot face the difficulties of one age by pining for another. The good old days are often a combination of a bad memory and a vivid imagination! The Victorian essayist Hilaire Belloc wrote, ‘While you are dreaming of the future or regretting the past, the present, which is all you have, slips from you and is gone.’ T.V. Moore paraphrases this beautifully: ‘Be careful not to let your heart get angry, for you ought to keep in mind that it’s the fool who lets his temper rule his life. And just forget about the “Good Old Days” — as if they were as great as that. The wise man will prefer to look ahead and try to make the most of what’s before him, not to mourn the ghost of times that never were.’

PATIENCE IS BETTER THAN PRIDE Patience is essential in coping with life. We cannot know the outcome of anything until it is completed and so we need patience. We do not know the end from the beginning. ANGER IS DESTRUCTIVE There is a place for anger. But for most of us, most of the time, anger ‘resides in the lap of fools’. It exasperates us. ‘A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him’ (Proverbs 17:25, NIV). In Ecclesiastes anger leads to exasperation at the confusion of life, bereavement and unjust persecution. And it results in bitterness. ‘See to it that no-one misses the grace of God and that

WISDOM IS A BETTER INSURANCE THAN MONEY Wisdom from God is the best inheritance. ‘To be in the shadow of wisdom is like being in the shadow of silver, and knowledge is an advantage.’ There is a sense in which wealth is a protection — but wisdom is even better.

THE RECORD

JULY/AUGUST

In what way is wisdom a shelter? It helps us to make sense of life and to cope. The crookedness of the world is not just fate — it is subject to God. ‘For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope’ (Romans 8:20, NIV). Good times and bad times both have their uses. Good times cause us to be happy, bad to think and reflect upon the realities of life that will hopefully lead us to faith in God. ‘He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said’ (Job 2:10, NIV). God gives us blessings to make us happy and sorrows to keep us humble. There is a divine balance in life which means that we do not topple over. Moore again — ‘God gives us all our lot in life. He brings us good at times; at other times he stings us with adversity. But here’s the point: We shouldn’t let ourselves get out of joint when trouble comes. Or when we find it hard to make sense out of things. Just trust the Lord, my son. He always does what’s good and right; He’s with us always, whether day or night.’ I suspect that the disciples would have named Easter Friday as Dark

Friday. It was anything but good. It was the darkest of days. Perhaps they thought about the ‘good old days’ when they had witnessed miracles and were taught by Christ; when the crowds had cheered him, and them, as they entered Jerusalem. And now he was dead. Gone. Murdered. They needed wisdom, understanding and above all patience. ‘Wait on the Lord is the cry of the Christian.’ Easter Sunday follows Dark Friday. Joy comes in the morning. Like Solomon we need to ‘consider what God has done’.•

MUSIC REVIEWS The Free Church has a surprising depth of musical talent within it. This month we highlight two albums from people with Free Church connections. MAUREEN MACLEOD — MY SHELTER Maureen Macleod is the daughter of Rev. Alasdair I and Cathy Macleod. She attends Esk Valley Free Church, and has an extraordinary talent which she has put to good use in releasing an online album My Shelter. She writes: These songs tell my story of faith in a God I can depend on whether life is going well or seems like a struggle. I wrote and recorded these songs at home over the last couple of years and I am happy to finally be able to share them! One reviewer comments: Maureen Macleod has a voice that seamlessly goes from octave to octave, at times ethereal and wistful and in others of her tracks full of timbre and depth. That this album was home-recorded and sounds full of quality is kept solid by her interwoven harmonies. Regardless of your religious predisposition, the pure notes and quality of Maureen Macleod’s voice give it a memorable and slightly haunting feel. It is a stunning album…Maureen Macleod is Scotland’s Enya! • Available to buy on Amazon Music and iTunes SIMON KENNEDY BAND — ALL OR NOTHING Simon Kennedy, from Dundee, is the Free Church Communications Officer — but he also has another career as a blues guitarist. His latest album is entitled All or Nothing. Firmly rooted in the blues, the band also draws on jazz, funk, rock and gospel influences to share personal songs of love, life and loss. Their first album was voted by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association as their Album of the Month. With the success of their debut album, the Simon Kennedy Band have been sought out to play and headline major festivals like The Orkney Blues Festival, The Danny Boy Jazz and Blues Festival (N. Ireland), Perth’s Southern Fried Festival and Glasgow’s Merchant City Festival. They also had the pleasure of playing Scotland’s biggest blues club in Edinburgh, in support of Big Joe Louis. The band also co-headlined a sold-out gig in The Spiegeltent during The Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival. Both the Kennedy Band’s albums are excellent. Who would have thought that a Christian-themed blues album from Dundee would become a bestseller?! Simon’s guitar playing is outstanding. For all those who like the blues, and love the gospel — this is a wonderful album. • Available to buy from www.simonkennedyband.com or on Amazon Music

t was father ’ s day .

I’d sent my husband out to the summer house straight after church to enjoy some child-free reading time. It had been a particularly trying morning with the two-yearold, the four-year-old was demanding attention I didn’t have, and I had an old friend and a work conundrum on my mind. As I chopped the carrots for dinner, the baby started to cry. Please Lord, I prayed instinctively, keep him calm. Just give me a minute to chop these carrots before I attend to him, so I don’t actually lose the plot. I immediately remembered sarcastic articles I’d read where Christians had been characterised as ‘God botherers’ who thought the Almighty was on

With each new baby I’ve been struck anew by my complete dependence on God, just as my baby is completely dependent on me. But even more than this I’m struck by the comfort my baby takes in me, and I in him. The first thing he does in the morning is beam up at me. After being fed, that grin is how he says thank you. He gurgles and smiles to get my attention, just to see me smile back at him. And when he’s upset, his comfort is so immediate and absolute the second I pick him up that it makes me long to be comforted the same way myself. If I take so much delight in my child, how must the Lord see us? If I would do anything for my baby, how much more is the Lord willing to bless us? Come and ask

THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS… AND SMALL PEOPLE DAYSPRING MACLEOD explores lessons she’s learned about the Father from her baby son call to provide them with parking spaces on a busy Saturday. These comments had made me uneasy in the past because I had often prayed for a parking space when running late or feeling unwell! Maybe this is the same thing, I thought. Maybe it’s stupid asking God to hush a baby for two minutes. He has better things to do. Then I remembered my mom and how she came five thousand miles when the baby was born precisely to do those little things. The kind of things we do for people we care about. Help them look for a parking space on a rainy day. Hold the baby when it’s crying and the mum is looking stressed. So I changed my prayer. ‘Lord, hold my baby.’ The call to ‘pray continually’ sounds like an impossible task until you think of prayer as a conversation, an ebb and flow, a walking alongside someone. This means seeing God in the everyday, giving thanks for the everyday, and asking for help with the everyday. The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems that, just because God made the vast and grandiose cosmos, we should think he is uninterested in small details. What are galaxies but a network of (to our eyes) infinite fine-tuned details? If he presides over the birth of a planet orbiting a star that we can’t even see, for his own joy and glory, why should we think he scorns the small things in the lives of his own beloved children?

him with joy and confidence for his presence and his comfort and see how he runs to answer. Psalm 131 used to be somewhat of a mystery to me. O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvellous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. I see it now in the way that my older children come to me for reassurance or just because they enjoy my company. The baby cries for me wanting milk, but when my two- and four-year-old are upset, they come to me without agenda, without demands, without one eye on what they can get: just wanting me. Wanting to feel safe, to know love, to be held. What a blessing it is when we can come to God the same way. These are some of the ways that Murdo, aged three months, has made me seek the Father — both in need and in gratitude. Oh, and of course he stopped crying. Because the Lord even cares about a hectic Sunday.•

CENSORING THE INTERNET — A PLEA FROM JOHN MILTON D

a passionate plea called Areopagitica — A speech for the liberty of unlicensed printing, to the Parliament of England. It is a stunning work that has a lot to teach us. Remember, those who refuse to learn from their past will repeat it! Milton argued that suppressing books was like murdering someone. He stated that it was good for Christians to read the works of those who disagreed with them and that mature people should be able to discern what is good and bad, without the government doing it for us. In addition he pointed out that those who would be the licensers were not infallible, nor were they uncorrupt. If we are going to regulate printing (or the internet?) then we are going to have to have government regulation for everything else — from music to clothing. Besides which, we cannot expel sin and evil by censorship and regulation. The State has the right to govern us, but not to be our critics. Do we really think the people are so stupid that we have to be treated like children? The danger with State (or Corporate) censorship is that inevitably we end up excluding much that is good, as well as the bad. Milton also warns that the attempt to control thought, by either State or Church, leads to a ‘forced and outward union of cold and neutral, and inwardly divided minds’. Again, in comments that are so pertinent to our day — he warns that government regulation will inevitably lead to the bigger companies having a monopoly. When God is shaking a kingdom, then of course there will be bad and false teaching, but God will send out teachers of his truth to deal with error. We must not suppress error with the power of the State but defeat it by the truth of Christ. Milton — reflecting the teachings of Christ — surely has a word for our day. The governments should treat us like grown-ups able to think and reason for ourselves. We don’t need them to censor on our behalf — because inevitably they will end up censoring us. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of religion are far too precious to be handed over to a government committee or a Californian Mega Corporation. I’ll leave the last word with Milton:

id you know that president stated,

‘Most of what you read on the internet is false’? I’m afraid if you cannot spot the obvious flaw in that statement then you are not worthy of reading this column! However, England’s greatest poet, the 17th-century Puritan John Milton, did have something to say about the internet. Let me explain. Both the EU and the UK governments have recently suggested further strong regulation to seek to control the worldwide web. The EU, despite significant popular protest, has passed radical proposals to severely limit the internet (https://bit.ly/2JdewRB/) This will affect everything from blogs and podcasts to larger sites. YouTube suggested it would mean them taking down 90 million of their videos. It will create a dual internet — a restrictive one for the EU (along with North Korea and China) and a more open one for the rest of the world. Some argue that the EU are going with the big firms and the corporate lobbyists and limiting both freedom of speech and the free market. The UK government have produced their own Online Harms paper (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ technology-47826946) which effectively proposes an end to self-regulation and instead suggests a government regulator. Some see this as a necessary corrective; others describe it as an historic attack on free speech and freedom of the press. The trouble is, what do you do with material that is not illegal but may be considered harmful? After all, I think liberal theology, TV reality shows and boy bands are harmful. Should they be banned? On the other hand, I am constantly told that my espousal of biblical morality is harmful and should be banned. Where are we heading? This is where John Milton comes in. In the 1640s the UK was split by a civil war — the nation was divided and tempers were running high (plus ça change…!). A relatively new technology, the printing press, was having an enormous impact. And so the politicians in parliament decided they should do something about it and put forward a ‘licensing order’ in June 1643 to regulate the press. Milton responded in 1644 with

MISSION MATTERS A monthly take on some of the mission work the Free Church is involved in by our Mission Director, DAVID MEREDITH.

‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind’ (Luke 4:18). Here’s the rub: the chapter reveals that he went through the entire countryside, everyone praised him and his first disciples were small business owners. Equally true is the fact that he saw his role model as Elijah, who bypassed the Jewish widow to minister to a Gentile widow in Sidon. Jesus ministered at Capernaum after his rejection at Nazareth, and the people wanted to keep him, there but he reveals that he cannot be contained, he ‘must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent’ (Luke 4:44).

f a general assembly is to have some value then there must be at least one area of fruitful conflict.

Last year, like the Hebraic Jews who complained about the neglect of their widows, the revitalisers complained that they were being neglected at the expense of the church planters. The Mission Board listened and put a training track in place for those interested in church developers. This year it was the turn of our planters who minister in areas of social and economic poverty. Some may say it was less of a debate and more of a trading of slogans. I could not possibly comment. There then followed a torrid exchange of views on social media. Has any issue ever been clarified following a Facebook exchange?

Let’s not get into a class war. We celebrate each other’s ministries and locations. Doctors, actuaries and bankers have souls. Spiritual death is patently egalitarian and the meth addict is no more dead than the fund manager. Perhaps I should begin with some positivity which I trust does not sound like words of self-justification. The Free Church of Scotland is a denomination which reflects a degree of social diversity. We have congregations located in affluent areas where the car park is full of marvellous specimens of German automotive excellence reflecting well-heeled congregants. Other churches are located in marginal crofting communities and neglected small towns. Our ministry and leadership are derived from the professions and the trades. We pray that God will make us even more diverse. I often speak of the need to be ‘larger, darker and poorer’. This means that we want to see more people added to the kingdom through our mission and that these people will be drawn from the varying ethnicities which make up the tartan of modern Scottish society. We also want to see people drawn into our fellowship who are at the economic margins of our society. Some questions, however. Did Jesus have a bias towards the poor? This is a phrase which was popularised by the late David Sheppard in his eponymous book. There is no doubt that Jesus saw his own ministry as having a priority to the marginalised and the outcast:

THE RECORD

Let’s take another passage. Look at the missional strategy of Paul as you find it in Acts 16. We have the first European converts. The first was an affluent businesswoman, the second was a damaged and vulnerable victim of human trafficking, and the third was a working-class prison officer. No bias there, but simply reaching out to all classes and types. My point and desire. Let’s not get into a class war. We celebrate each other’s ministries and locations. Doctors, actuaries and bankers have souls. Spiritual death is patently egalitarian and the meth addict is no more dead than the fund manager. However, the statistics reveal that the most neglected areas of Scotland in terms of gospel outreach are also the most neglected in terms of evangelistic effort. Here is your homework. Have a look at the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) or google the ten most deprived areas in Scotland according to the SIMD. Funnily or sadly enough, you will find Shettleston and Drumchapel in there. Been there, done that! Is that really all we can say?•

Tha inntinnean againn a lìonas sinn le nithean nach fiù, air neo le nithean anns am bheil brìgh. Chaidh a ràdh rinn madainn na Sàbaid ann an searmon, gu robh e glè chudromach gum biodh sinn a’ cleachdadh ar n-inntinnean a-bhos air an talamh. Mur biodh, chitheadh daoine eile na cothroman ’s chleachdadh iadsan an inntinn aca fhèin. Tha e air iarraidh oirnn’ mar shluagh Dhè, a bhith a’ smaoineachadh ann an dòigh a tha eadar-dhealaicht’ ri smaoineachadh an t-saoghail. Thuirt an teachdaire gu robh Crìosdaidhean a rinn obair mhòr dhan Chruthaidhear anns na linntean a dh’ fhalbh, air beachd-smuaineachadh agus meòrachadh a dhèanamh, mus do ghabh iad an obair mhòr a rinn iad os làimh. Chunnaic feadhainn am feum a bh’ann gum biodh Facal Dhè aig sluagh nan cànan fhèin, ’s dh’ionnsaich iad cànan eadar-dhealaicht’, ’s rinn iad an obair fheumail-sa dhan Chruthaidhear. Is e dìleab mhòr a th’ann a bhith a’fàgail Facal Dhè aig sluagh, ann an cànan a thuigeas iad. Cha dèan duine obair mar seo ann an cabhaig. Nach deach seo a dhèanamh dhuinn fhìn cuideachd? Tha am Bìoball againn ann an Gàidhlig agus ann am Beurla. Leughaidh sinn ann an ùrnaigh Chriosd na facail chudromach-sa. ‘Is i seo a’bheatha mhaireannach eòlas a bhith aca ortsa, an t-Aon Dia fìor’. Chì sinn an sin cho cudromach sa tha an inntinn. Is e saoghal a tha seo a tha ag iarraidh ar n-aire fad na h-ùine, agus mar sin tha e a’ goid ar meòrachaidh. Tha an saoghal-sa ag iarraidh gur ann leis fhèin a bhiodh gach smuain, agus gu cinnteach, tha seo cho meallta ’s nach aithnich sinn e. Tha e air iarraidh oirnn’ anns an litir gu na Philipianaich a bhith a’ smaoineachadh air nithean fìor, nithean urramach, nithean ceart agus ionmholta. Tha seo air àithne dhuinn, agus nach eil spàirn ann a bhith a’ dèanamh seo aig gach àm?

Dh’iarr an teachdair‘ oirnn’ a bhith a’ cur oidhirp nar smaoineachadh. Saoilidh sinn gu robh dòigh-beatha a’ ghinealaich a dh’ fhalbh a’ ciallachadh gu robh mòran meòrachaidh aca ga dhèanamh nuair a bha iad a-muigh ag obair. Tha sinne beò ann an linn làn ghoireasan,’s nuair a bu chòir barrachd ùine a bhith againn, cha robh linn ann, saoilidh sinn, cho cabhagach. Chan e talamh socair a th’ann am beatha idir. Tha e mar raon-cogaidh. Mar shluagh a’ Chruthaidheir, bhiodh e math a bhith a’ smaoineachadh cho àlainn, uasal, sàr-mhaith agus ionmholta sa tha Criosd. Nach tig Salm no dhà gur n-inntinn? ‘Is maisich’ Thu na clann nan daoin’; gràs dhòrtadh ann ad bheul’. Is e an Cruthachadh am Bìoball a th’aig an t-saoghal, agus is sinne, sluagh Dhè, am Bìoball a th’aca cuideachd. Abair uallach mòr! Tha an Cruthachadh a’ moladh Dhè. Leughaidh sinn na facail, ‘Glòir Dhè làn-fhoillsichidh na nèamh’. Tha gach sìthean agus gach lus a’ sealltainn obair A làimh’. Tha cothroman mòra againn san linn-sa. Faodaidh sinn a bhith ag èisteachd ri iomadh searmon a neartaicheas sinn, agur teicneòlas ar là a’ dèanamh seo comasach. Chrìochnaich an teachdaire an searmon le facail bho Iain Owen, nuair a thuirt e gur e a bhith a’ faicinn Glòir Chriosd an cothrom a bu mhotha a bh’aig Crìosdaidh sam bith, agus cò an Crìosdaidh nach aontaicheadh ris an seo?• (B’e an t-Urramach J. Barnard a bha a’ searmonachadh ’s tha sinn a’ toirt taing dha.) Fhuair sinn inntinnean is tàlant gu bhith làn de nithean sàr mhaith. Se an tàmailt mhòr gun cleachd sinn ùine ’s ar n-aire cho làn de nithean an t-saoghail. Is e gun togadh Tus’ ar n-inntinn gu bhith làn de d’ Fhacal soillseach. Stiùiridh sin ar ceum gu cinnteach ma nì sinn feum dheth a là ’s a dh’ oidhche.

Aon là togaidh Tus’ an àird’ sinn ’s cha bhi cuimhn’ air talamh sàraicht’. Chì sinn glòir an Tì a shaor sinn ’s nach taingeil an sluagh a fhuair gràs, sin gu saor bhuat?
