Aspects

Aspects is our oldest published devotional. It began in November 1990 as a monthly, print-only journal mailed to friends and family. In 1994 we began releasing each issue as plain text via e-mail. This modest beginning was the genesis for all the devotional material we offer at our web site today.

Because of its age and subsequent evolution, the Aspects archives benefit from some explanation.

Issues 1 through 85 (to December 1997) are available in plain text only.
These early issues, as well as all plain text editions are available in a single ZIP file (link below).
Issues 86 through 157 are available as PDFs in a single ZIP file (link below). Each issue is similar in format to today’s monthly Reflections by the Pond.

(Aspects ceased publication in December 2003.)

Did you know…?

Our four-year study of First Corinthians has now drawn to a close. All 170 sessions, in both text and audio, remain available at the First Corinthians page. More important, we are pleased to offer the complete study in one PDF volume! This makes an excellent resource for any study of the letter. All this is available at our First Corinthians page.

Remember: Everything at this web site is free and safe—no cost, no ads, no stealing of data, no strings, no begging for money. Just lots of free resources for living closer to God.

The writer to the Hebrews quotes from a number of important Psalms in his epistle/sermon. We have recently added A Five-psalm Preparatory Study for the Book of Hebrews: Psalms 102, 40, 8, 110, 95 —which supplies an essential preface to the Hebrews study. Even if you are one of the thousands who have already downloaded and used our Hebrews study, this new resource will contribute to your understanding of that book. And if you have not yet downloaded our popular Hebrews study, be sure to obtain this new five-psalm study as well, and work through it before beginning Hebrews.
