KNOX 500: day 5, Royal Mile, Knox house, lunch at Covenanter prison...

What a glorious day walking the same cobbled stones as Knox!
Grassmarket where Covenanters were hanged for their loyalty to the Crown rights of the Redeemer in his Kirk
St Giles High Kirk where Knox preached Christ alone
Economic/Political Science graduate Cody Graves sharing with us about Wealth of Nations and Adam Smith

We dined at the Tolbooth Prison where Covenanters were tortured and led out to the Grassmarket to be hanged for loyalty to King Jesus; the Netherbow where Richard Cameron's head and hands were spitted on display for more than two decades as a warning to those who would not submit to the civil monarch as head and king over the church of Jesus Christ.

Singing at St. Giles, High Kirk, Edinburgh

You've got to hear Daniel Roberts singing at St. Giles, High Kirk, Edinburgh, JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING, by JS Bach. There's nothing quite like the acoustics of a 12th century gothic church for music. Click on the video and be dazzled with the singing, but more importantly with the object of that singing, Jesus himself.
