M&C

As I write this, my mind iscontemplating the naturalorder of things. There appears, tome, to be a real beauty in thechange of seasons, especially aswe move from Winter to Spring.The newness of life that Springbrings is a wonder to behold andmotivates me to consider who isbehind it all. We may all havediffering views as to the answerto that, but one thing for certainis that it is indeed marvellous!

If you are weary or burdened,

come!

This is what I find difficult in the Bible,

and this topic has caused so much

trouble, particularly in Scotland - the

Sabbath!

Jesus and His disciples are walking

quietly, on the Sabbath, alongside

some cornfields, when the peace is

suddenly attacked. Having seen His

disciples pick and eat some ears of

corn, Christ’s critics appear. They are

accused of harvesting on the

Sabbath. Legalism is a terrible thing.

The Pharisees, who would argue over

superficial trivial matters, are

following Jesus, to spy on Him. When

we move away from what God is

doing, we get tied up in irrelevant

arguments and discussions. These

rascals were hot on His trail.

How could grown men be so petty?

This is also a bothersome one.

“Have you never read?” Jesus

answered them from the Scriptures.

They hadn’t a word to say!

The Pharisees placed on people a

yoke which was burdensome.

The yoke of Jesus is very different, as

we learn of Him and what He is like.

“Come to me, all you who are weary

and burdened and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn

from me. I am gentle and humble in

heart. My yoke is easy. My burden is

light.” These words were spoken

after three rebuffs.

You will never find a Master to serve

quite like Jesus Christ. When we

serve the wrong master and carry the

wrong yoke, there is a degree of

disintegration.

Jesus saw people under that heavy

yoke.

The yoke of Jesus Christ is no more

a burden than feathers are to a bird.

Jesus goes into the synagogue on the

Sabbath. Jesus wouldn’t miss a

Sabbath. He was not an occasional

worshipper.

These critics are not present to

worship, but to keep a beady eye on

Jesus. Oh, it is OK to accuse on the

Sabbath! This could put people off

‘Church’ for ever!

There was a man with a withered

hand. Let’s watch Him. Would He or

wouldn’t He? They are not interested

in the needy individual. It is possible

to follow Jesus for the wrong reasons.

Jesus saw right through them. He

always does. He ignored them, and

addressed the man in front of

everyone. The withered hand is

healed and usable.

Then the plot thickens. This is a

confrontation and conflict between

good and evil.

The disciples are there. Soon they

would be right at the heart of the

work.

For three years they were learning

and observing. They were uniquely

privileged, being called, taught,

commissioned and equipped.

A disciple can never resign, if the

calling of God is upon his life.

This criticised, crucified Christ is now

risen from the dead. Are you aware

of that? Do you know Him?

The revolution that texting has brought tocommunications is something that can easily betaken for granted. But it is increasingly becoming atool that our local charities are discovering can helpthem maximise their income from donations. Lastmonth, I learned firsthand what a difference it ismaking when I chaired an exciting Charity

Fundraising Techniques & Tools ‘JustTextGiving’ event at the SpectrumCentre in Inverness. The gathering, attended by members from eighteenHighland charities, was set up to help train non-profit organisations in theHighlands to raise funds through new and innovative technologies.Leading the training on ‘text-giving’ were staff from the Scottish Councilfor Volunteer Organisations, Marie Curie Highlands and Vodaphone.Unlike many ways of giving, charities receive 100% of every donation;and the number of people using ‘text-giving’ is on the rise. Encouragingly,15,000 charities and 30,000 fundraisers have already signed up to‘JustTextGiving’. I believe that it’s essential that our local charities andnon-profit organisations are given the opportunity and training to keepthem ahead of the pack. I hope that the training received at last month’sevent will allow them to fundraise better than ever before.

You may have missed it, but investment in the oil and gas sector isin the pipeline for waters off Scotland and set to be of the order ofone hundred billion pounds. My job, as energy minister, is to makesure that, working with the sector, we secure as much of thatinvestment for companies in Scotland. Here in the Highlands wesee the continuing success of Global Energy Group based at Nigg.But increasingly, all over the country, we see jobs being created ina vibrant sector. We were of course told, mostly by self-appointed

experts based in London that "the oil will run out in ten years." They were nothing if notconsistent. They told us this in the seventies - and they were wrong. Then in the eighties -and they were wrong. And then in the nineties when they were wrong again. A hat trick ofhavers! Now it is clear that our oil and gas reserves, worth over a trillion pounds, will last forseveral decades to come- and in fact may still be extracted at the end of this century. What isnot appreciated much though is this important fact: The oil and gas industry in Scotland isincreasingly an international business. In fact, half of the total earnings they make are madefrom work done overseas. I have visited around 70 to 80 companies in the twenty onemonths I have been minister. They exemplify some of the most exciting and dynamicbusinesses in the world - and we are truly world leading in subsea and other technologies -perfected in the harsh environment of the North Sea and West of Shetland. This month I leada Scottish business trade delegation to Brazil which is a market of over $200 hundred billion.In fact, wherever oil and gas is discovered and extracted all over the world, it will not take youvery long before you hear a Scottish accent!Danny Alexander MP Fergus Ewing MSP

...Madeira

Dreamingof...

Enjoying an excellent year round climate, stunning scenery and superb quality hotels

Madeira holidays are perfect for those wanting to escape the stresses of everyday life. The people are friendly and there are few places where you would enjoy better or more courteous service.

The Island of Eternal Springtime, Lovers’ Isle, Pearl of the Atlantic & Floating Garden of the Atlantic are just a few of the epithets awarded to Madeira, the largest of the islands in the Madeiran Archipelago which also includes the sand and sea worship-pers’ island of Porto Santo. Located 400 miles west of Morocco and 600 miles from mainland Europe, the islands are located on similar latitudes to Bermuda and Los Angeles, allowing holidays to Madeira to be enjoyed in summer and winter months. Approximately half the island’s population lives in Funchal and the centre of town is especially busy where the 16th century streets attempt to cope with 21st century traffic! Most of the hotels are located west of the city centre at Funchal Lido – an important tourist area with shops, restaurants and cafes. The style is changing, however, with colonial mansions being converted into luxurious hotels although many enclaves and the port still retain an old fashioned feel mixed with the commercial buzz of its working environment and the port area provides a fabulous vantage point to gaze at the rich (and sometimes famous) as cruise ships moor up for their overnight stops.

5* Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens is magnificently situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by mature gardens, and you will never be short of space to completely unwind and relax even though you are only a short drive from Funchal centre. Well-appointed guest rooms and suites are elegantly furnished and the restaurant provides a wonderful colonial atmosphere and benefits from a veranda and

terrace for al fresco dining. With an unusual swim-through indoor-outdoor pool and a

host of spa facilities Quinta das Vistas offers something for everyone.

Hollow Tine AerationRemoves cores from the lawn to de-compact the soil. Tining also helps allow water, nutrients and oxygen to reach the root zone of the grass plant more easily.ScarifyingWill thin out and remove much of the thatch and moss which has built up over the last season (which was extremely wet last year) giving room for new shoots to grow and spread in the Spring.

You've probably seen calculators with solar cells - devices that never need batteries and in some cases, don't even have an off button. As long as there's enough light, they seem to work forever. You may also have seen larger solar panels, perhaps on emergency road signs, call boxes, buoys and even in parking lots, to power the lights.Although these larger panels aren't as common as solar-powered calculators, they're out there and not that hard to spot if you know where to look. In fact, photovoltaics - which were once used almost exclusively in space, powering satellites' electrical systems as far back as 1958 -

Pre season (NOW)

Many of you will be thinking about giving

your lawn a good scarifying about now.

Last year’s old thatch plus the usual

build-up of moss over the winter will

choke your grass this season unless it is

raked out. Ideally this should be done

before you need to start feeding and

mowing your lawn. You can do this by

hand with a spring rake, or many of you

will have a small electric scarifier/rake to

help. We use a much more rigorous

blade scarifier which cuts out the thatch.

The small electric rakes are good for

lifting off annual moss but aren’t power-

ful enough to tackle thatch. We often

work together with our customers at this

time of year, we take out the thatch and

they follow on with the electric rake –

that works best of all.

I thought it would be worth including a

photograph of a typical scarifying job in

progress. This might give you an idea of

the scale of the exercise – not for the

faint hearted. Good luck !

“ ”Let your behaviour be without covetousness;

and be content with such things as ye have

Published by Words by the Wayside. Registered Scottish charity SC041290

“Thou shalt not covet”

One of the many e�ects of covetousness is that it can drive us heavily into debt. Many of us enter into binding �nancial arrange-ments for loans,

www.wordsbythewayside.co.uk

Hebrews 13:5

WORDS BY THE WAYSIDE

hire-purchase and mortgages, to cover the cost of things we have set our hearts on, but which we cannot a�ord. These things may be a bigger house, a better car, luxury holidays or some other possession which carries with it a status symbol. In this way, we �nd ourselves on a treadmill of our own making, with a crushing burden of debt, from which we cannot escape, because of our lifestyle.

We will get no help from God to maintain a standard of living which we may yearn after, but which we cannot a�ord. “Let your behaviour be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have” (Hebrews 13:5).

Another evil e�ect of covetousness is the bad example it sets to others. We all have our own own sphere of in�uence either for good or evil and this is particularly true of overseers and deacons-hence the reason that such men in the church must not be covetous (1 Timothy 3:3-8). If we are marked by covetousness then our example will have a leavening e�ect upon others: encouraging them to a similar lifestyle. Yet we Christians are still not content with such as we have. Self denial and godliness with content-ment are out of fashion.

Covetousness is also idolatry. If we are covetous we spare ourselves no pains to achieve our desired object. We love that object with all our

heart, our soul, our strength, our mind, and it has become an idol to us, worthy of all veneration. Those who are determined to have the things of this world will �nd themselves ensnared. They will discover that covetousness is addictive because each fresh acquisition only whets the appetite for more and more.

If covetousness marks us as a Christian it is evident that we are �nding our pleasure in earthly things and that we are depending on something other than God for satisfaction. God made us for Himself and our heart should �nd no rest until it rests in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It must grieve the Lord, who has redeemed us for Himself, to see us striving after the things of this life – clothes, food, job or profession, car, garden, fortune, pleasures, etc. to the exclusion of the higher spiritual interests of our own soul. It must also follow that if God is displeased with us then we cannot enjoy communion with Him until our life-style is adjusted in line with His will. We cannot expect to grow in divine things if our heart is occupied with material things.

Covetousness not only includes the active pursuit of material things and earthly bene�ts which lie in our grasp, but also includes the passive smouldering desire to obtain that which our neighbour has but is impossible for us to achieve, and this awakens the spirit of envy and jealousy.

Therefore let us set our a�ections on things above and beware of covetousness for the Lord Jesus Christ “died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:15)
