By Tom Shanklin Suddenly there was with the angel a company of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men.” (Luke 2:13-14 MEV). Do you suppose that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. (Luke 12:51 MEV). When …Read more>>>
Dear Precious Friends and Partners, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (John 10:27 KJV) One of the areas where we all need help from the Lord is guidance.

Happy Thanksgiving! For those of us living in the United States, we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. It’s a wonderful time where families come together, feast on turkey, and give thanks for all that God has done.

I guess that would be fresh old, smelly finds, which I have many of, but no longer smelly. I press in to something new each day. Yesterday, …Read more>>>

By Tom Shanklin I threw away my old black sweater last night. It’s been around a long time. In recent years, no one has seen me wear it, other than my family members. It was what you call “threadbare.” It had some holes, but mostly the fabric was worn thin by the multitude of washings. The pull tab on …Read more>>>
By Tom Shanklin I once heard a story about a minister who was unjustly convicted of a crime and ended up in prison as a cellmate to a hardened criminal. Naturally, the minister shared the Gospel with his fellow inmate, but had little success reaching him for Jesus. Finally, the Lord gave him an idea. He asked the man, “Do …Read more>>>
August 2025 Dear Precious Saints of God, I had some wonderful meetings in July, starting with a Sunday morning service at For His Glory Church in Spring Grove, Minnesota. This is a church that I helped to start and where I ministered at least monthly for many years. I had not been to the church for 2 1/2 years and …Read more>>>
This month, I encourage you to stay focused on the things that are most important to the Lord. We are living in a time of great chaos and confusion, and if we are not careful, we can become distracted and lose our vision for the things of God. I want to remind you that our hope is in the Lord, …Read more>>>
