Galatians 2:20

Back in 1958 when I was a young marine stationed on the island of Okinawa, I became closely associated with a man I deeply admired. His name was Bob Newkirk. 

I didn't know what it was exactly that first drew me to Bob. More than anything else, I guess, there was something refreshingly unpretentious about him. He was devoted to the things of the Lord, no question, but it was never on parade, never for the purpose of public display. And I loved that. 

President-elect Donald Trump called his meeting with Justin Trudeau productive and said the prime minister made a commitment to work with the United States to end the drug crisis amid the threat of stiff tariffs.

John 1:1-2

Psalm 27:8; Psalm 91:1

The psalmist said, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1). 

Do you have a place of shelter where you seek only His face? Do you spend time in that secret place? 

Have you given prayer the priority it deserves? And when you pray, do you remember that it is the Lord's face you seek? 

The Manitoba Métis Federation will be the first Métis group to sign a modern treaty with the federal government, bringing a near conclusion to a more than 150-year fight for recognition.

"I need to get some chapstick because I can't stop smiling," said Manitoba Métis Federation President David Chartrand.

"This is one of the great times in our history, one of the truly historical moments that will live on forever."

2 Peter 3:10-11

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
