Product Information

I’m starting to think this world is just a place for us to learn that we need each other more than we want to admit. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:4-8). For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 6:2 And whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Philippians 2:1-4 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. Isaiah 58:10

Some of the "Grieving well" section I wish I could have read years ago. Some of the "Taking care of your heart" I’m sure I’ll be reading again in years to come.One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone. I hope the following Bible verses about serving others, help you to resist worldly ideas of achievement and greatness. May these verses encourage you to emulate Jesus and the saints who have gone before us. Become great by serving others. Serve One Another Proverbs 3:27

Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 1 Samuel 12:24 Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth,great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy. By God’s grace we have been set apart from worldly pursuits of greatness. We are called to serve others with the grace and love that God has entrusted to us. God rewards those who give their time, money, and talents to help others in need. In God’s upside down Kingdom, those who serve are the greatest all, reflecting the character of Jesus himself, “who came not to be served but to serve” (Matthew 20:28).

Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Acts 2:44-45 If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you’re wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better. To achieve that, we must reach across the divide in Scottish politics. And my judgment now is that a new leader will be better able to do this. Someone about whom the mind of almost everyone in the country is not already made up, for better or worse. Someone who is not subject to quite the same polarised opinions, fair or unfair, as I now am. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. Acts 20:35

It isn’t intended to replace the medical information given to The longer any leader is in office, the more opinions about them become fixed and very hard to change. And that matters. Individual polls come and go, but I am firmly of the view that there is now majority support for independence. But that support needs to be solidified – and it needs to grow further if our independent Scotland is to have the best possible foundation.
