I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 15th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in Psalm 51:10-11. David cries out:

”Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.“

That was his prayer after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba, and the Prophet Nathan had come and exposed him.

Then we go to Romans 10:13:

“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

And you’ll find that also in Acts 2:21.

Anybody that calls upon the name, I said, anybody that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved - the backslider, the thief, the murderer, the adulterer. Think about it: Moses, Zacchaeus, David, Paul, every one of them a sinner, called upon the name of the Lord, and they were gloriously saved and used by God.

I want to tell you about a baseball player who lived in the 1800’s. His name was Billy Sunday. He was a star player, one of the best in the world. On a Sunday afternoon, he was walking down the street in Chicago with a few of his baseball friends, and he went past a mission, a little city mission. He heard beautiful gospel songs being sung. He was a gambler, a drinker, and he used to swear like a trooper. What happened? He went in, he was called in by God, into that mission. They made an altar call after the preacher had preached. He went forward, knelt in public, cried out for forgiveness, and God miraculously saved him. He left a $3000 baseball contract and he became one of the greatest missionaries and evangelists that the world has ever known.

I want to say to you today, I don’t know where you are today, maybe you feel there’s no hope for you? “I don’t think that I have a second chance.” I want to tell you today, call upon the name of the Lord and He will hear you like He heard Billy Sunday and He will save you and give you a brand new life. “Whosoever” means literally any person, regardless of who, calls upon the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved. It happened to me, it can happen to you. I want to pray the sinner’s prayer with you right now. 

Father God, 

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, 

I repent of all my sins, and I ask you once more to be the Lord of my life.

Amen.

Go out now and tell the first three people you meet what you’ve done. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.

Goodbye
