Scotland The Brave

Today we spent the day in the city of Dundee which is the 4th largest city in Scotland. The Scots are a lovely people who are very patriotic towards Scotland. This morning we spent time speaking with the intern at St. Peter's Free Church. His name is Brian and he is from Northern Ireland. It was a joy to talk with him about the history of the Celtic Church and the state of the church and society in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Those two areas have a deep history between them and have a great deal of influence on the American South. From lunch until about 4:30 we walked through the city center of Dundee, it is an old city that has a great deal of church history. We were able to see McCheyne's pulpit and grave. I also received a free book written by David Robertson on the life of Robert Murray McCheyne. They supposively have his Bible in the church locked up. David said that hundreds of people travel to Dundee and St. Peter's Church each year almost like a pilgrimage. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the people have been so wonderful. We do miss our babies and look forward to seeing them. My step father Brian has been very sick while we are away and do desire to see him. The Lord is so good, last night we were able to hear Psalms sung in accapella and hear the Gaelic language spoken fluently. We are truly desiring clarity on where God would have us to be. We are thoroughly convinced that God in his infinite wisdom is going to place us in a place where He will be most glorified. The joy of our salvation and the fellowship of the saints is so beautiful. We praise the Lord for the work He is doing in the UK. In the midst of so many dead Presbyterian churches He is raising up a new generation that is strong in the Lord and determined to see Him glorified. To God be the Glory. We are strangers in a strange land, but one day we will be home. Cheers!
