“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

[1] Free Church of Scotland Moderator Responds to Recent U.K. Elections
An 8 May 2015 Stornoway Gazette article titled “Free Church Responds to Election Result” reports that Free Church of Scotland Moderator the Rev. David Robertson responded to the recent U.K elections by saying:
“I will be encouraging all of our congregations, as well as the wider Christian Church, to pray for our Prime Minister, for his family, his health and his leadership of the United Kingdom.
“It is no secret that we are living in unprecedented political times and the results reveal mixed opinion north and south of the Border.
“This is why it’s so important that David Cameron leads with a spirit of unity and mutual respect.
“There is incredible responsibility lying on his shoulders – particularly as the Prime Minister has already indicated he will not serve a third term so won’t be facing the electorate again.”
“We particularly pray that the new government will be one that truly values religious liberty and freedom of speech, so we can continue to preach and live out the Gospel.
“Ultimately we know that God reigns and rules over all things, and He is the only one who offers true hope for all of the electorate through His Son Jesus Christ.”

[2] Church of Scotland Launches Recruiting Drive to Bring In New Ministers
A 12 May 2015 Press and Journal article titled “Kirk Launches “Bold” New Recruitment Drive” reports that because a large number of Kirk ministers will retire within the next ten years, the number of Kirk congregations has dropped by seventy-five in the last six years to 1379, the number of Kirk ministers decreased by 129 in the past six years to 811, and that there are 215 pulpit vacancies with only 118 persons completing ministry studies in the past six years, the Church of Scotland has launched a recruiting drive to find new ministers.
The Kirk recruiting goal is thirty ministers per year for the next ten years. Kirk ministers can expect a compensation package of about UK£45,000 (equivalent to about US$70,500) after five years of service.
As a recruiting tool, the Kirk has produced a video featuring men and women in the Kirk ministry and the types of service they perform.
