I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 16th of February, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.  We start in 2 Peter 2:21:  "For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them."   Better to have never known the truth than to have known Jesus Christ and then to have betrayed Him and walked away from Him. Peter, the big fisherman w...
