"The Christian family is and has always been the strength of a nation."

“People often ask me what my qualifications are as a preacher and I always say, I’m the husband of one wife, five children, nine grandchildren and twenty-seven adopted children. How are things with your family? It concerns me that the family unit is disintegrating before our very eyes. Family is everything to me and do you know what, it’s everything to God. So I trust that you are going to enjoy these messages and that they are going to make a difference in your family. May God bless you.” - Angus Buchan
