Are You A Sower Of Discord

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 28, 2020

God has called us to unity, but too many thinking they are sowing in His fields are actually tearing up the field causing malnutrition in the Body because there is no fruitful harvest only wasted seed.

Be Wise In What Is Good

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 8, 2022
