Best Story EVER!

After a long blogging hibernation, I felt I had to share this one with you all. I was listening to a podcast from my sister-in-law’s church in Charlotte NC when this story was told, which originated from her husband. I laughed very loudly and publicly when I heard it and I’m still giggling now…
There’s a [...]

Blog Stats Update…

My friend James blogged about his blog stats and the popularity of his Dark Knight post. I decided to check out where things ore going on my stats and was pretty much horrified to see the following - 
How ludicrous is that??

Meet The Jedi Rev

Yes, folks, the Free Church of Scotland has clearly lost the plot. Not only are they employing wild and crazy left-wing-commy ministers, ministers with beards, and have put Mark Driscoll on the front of the Monthly Record, now they’ve gone completely bonkers and have actually employed a Jedi Knight.
Apparently, a FCYA outreach to Dagobah [...]

My Chickens Come Home to Roost

Oh dear.
My friend James worryingly informs me that someone just arrived at his blog by using the search terms “Iain MacKinnon Antichrist”…

I’m part of a non-denominational christian organisation here on the Isle of Lewis called “Stand in the Gap” which, amidst a packed programme, this year decided to put on a youth conference for the first time.
One of our team, Robert, got in contact with [...]

Look What I Have Done

My wife is a hidden poet. She writes, and some of it deserves a wider audience. I thought you might like to read this one. It spoke to me and I think it might speak to you too…
Silence is interrupted by the sound of the rain falling
Yet, O Lord I hear you calling.
You called me [...]

Scriptural Confusion and Getting Shot by Your Fiancee

Having read Rob V’s post about misunderstandings, I was reminded of something that happened to me before Naomi and I got married.
She’d been having a bad week, or a bad day or whatever and things were getting on top of her. I decided to text her a reference for an encouraging passage of scripture to [...]

MacKinnon’s Word for the Day: Ratiocinate

Ratiocinate: go through logical processes, reason, esp. using syllogisms.
Now watch closely, children, as I ratiocinate…

I thank you. Please ratiocinate at will in the comments box provided. Just clean up after yourself, OK?
