Issue 1722 – In The Shadows – May 6, 2025
The world can strip us of everything but cannot separate us from Christ. Through Him, we are victorious.
Daily devotionals from Scripture to nourish your faith, deepen your prayer life, and grow in God's grace.


Daily devotionals, short stories and Bible studies are designed to encourage you and strengthen you in your walk with Jesus. Come on in, sit a spell and be encouraged.
To learn more about us and what we believe, check out the “About”page. We believe that the Bible is not simply some dusty, old, irrelevant book. It is the living, active, wholly inspired Word of God.
I write devotionals on a daily basis. Most of us are ordinary people, living ordinary lives.
That is an excellent place to meet God. The Lord loves ordinary people … He must because He made so many of us. My devotionals are drawn from ordinary life and I hope illustrate the truths of Scripture. Scripture trumps my writing in every way, yet many people find it helpful in their faith walk.
I hope you enjoy what you find here. Please feel free to subscribe. https://mailchi.mp/f27bbeb09c22/gleanings-1

The votes have been cast, and we all must live with the results. It was the nastiest election I have seen in Canada, with great anger on both sides of the political spectrum.
How do we move forward? How then shall we live?

The one thing that holds us together is our love for Jesus. That crosses every other demarcation line. There are people I see weekly and have grown to love that I would never have met anywhere but the church.
