Reflections by the Pond

Reflections

Over the last twenty-nine years our devotional publication has gone through many changes. The first issue, in May of 1996, was a simple, one-page, text-only devotional published weekly via e-mail to subscribers. It is now full-color, multi-page, and published monthly—on the 15th—at our web site. It is available in three formats: including two PDFs, one in landscape, for easier viewing on screen (Reflections’ native and preferred format), and one in portrait, for printing.

Every person has his or her demons, and it is often in the unhappy consequence of knowing God that their assaults become even more vicious than before, battering against His child without mercy. Challenge and strife can assault from many quarters, but the son or daughter of God never stands alone.

For the child of God, the storm may win its small battle, but it will never win the war.


The two-fold purpose of Reflections by the Pond is to, first of all, bring glory and honor to God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and then to build up believers into a higher—and deeper—level of sanctification.

And by His grace we will.
