Signature Scent

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 7, 2010

A sweet aroma ascends God-ward. Godly living, which includes the proclamation of the gospel, manifests Christ to men, and thus, it brings pleasure and glory to God.

Opening illustration: You can’t see it, hear it, or touch it, but scent is powerful. The smell of things like crayons, petunias, and colognes evoke memories that transport me to the past and bring to mind people and places I might not otherwise recall. Some celebrities have fragrances named after ...read more

Why Do They Hate Us So?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Apr 30, 2015

How Do You Smell Today? Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Jan 23, 2012

If there are so many things offensive to our noses just imagine how God must react to the putrid stench of sin or some of the smelly things even believers do.

Some days I wonder why God decided to give human beings noses. I think that and then I have to put on a pair of glasses and I know at least one reason. There are other times I am glad I have a nose: as a child my favorite intersection in Tulsa Oklahoma was 21st and Sheridan. ...read more
