The Well, The Women, And The Wait Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 18, 2025

We all have unsettled issues in our hearts. Some want to put a lot of time and distance between these unresolved issues, even a change of scenery, which may be necessary to get some clarity. I believe God wants us to identify these issues and work through them.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 27, 2025

Before Peter passed to be with the Lord, he set out for the scattered Christians, pointers to recognise and refute false teachers who were gaining traction among Christians. He exposed these subversive agents of the devil. I am examining them, then adding cautions so we don’t follow.

What's That Smell

Contributed by Chris Mason on Oct 24, 2001

Cologne and Perfume cover up the smell, but only for a time. Nice clothes and a fake attitude cover up hidden sins, but only for a time. The only way to be truly clean is to be seperated from sin.

WHAT’S THAT SMELL INTRODUCTION One day while walking through the department store, I decided to stop by the cologne displays and try on some cologne. Now, I just couldn’t just try on one (could I?) I had to try on all the different brands that they had. Need less to say when I got into the ...read more
