A Heavy Heart for Suwayda’s Loss

Peter here, I haven’t published much after being at the Keswick Convention, but I heard and my heart is broken as we carry for Pastor Khaled Mazhar and his family, murdered in Suwayda, Syria, last week on July 16, 2025. This brave man, who led the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church, was killed along with 12–20 family members, his wife, mother, father, sisters, and their wee kids.

Have you ever been in church, you’re singing away to a worship song, or reading your Bible, and following a pastor's sermon, when a sinful thought pops into your mind? Perhaps it’s anger towards a fellow believer, a lustful desire, or a moment of doubt about God's presence or power that feels out of place concerning God.

Men of faith today is Father’s Day in the UK. It’s a day to honour dads. But at Forge of Faith, it’s a call to lead as Christ leads. Godly fathers anchor their families in truth.

As a follower of Christ in Scotland, with an online blog category called Faithful Steps to Freedom at bornagainchristians.org, I was stunned by various YouTube videos of ZOMBIES OF AMERICA showing the streets of Kensington, Philadelphia.
