Welcome to the Well Scripture taken from John 4:1-26. You can also see this Scripture on Youtube. You can view the podcast.

He went from a man of faith to a man stumbling over the most basic of Christ centered principles. His eyes are wild when I see him… Continue reading FEAR
CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS
Christmas Reflections reprinted from Inscribe OnLine I love the way we count the days until Christmas especially the Advent Sundays. This past week has been God our Hope. Isn’t that wonderful.

I knew that from updates on Facebook. He threw his arms around me and held on. I can’t remember the last time I received a… Continue reading A LONG DISTANCE HUG
GOD IS LOVE
God is Love by T. L. Wiens A few days ago, I read a blog that dealt with 1 John 4:8, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” And even though I’m not sure I totally agree with the blog author’s path, our conclusions are the same; the definition of love in… Continue reading GOD IS LOVE

GOD WANTS TO HEAR MY PRAYERS
How do I know that God wants to hear my prayers? (Part 2) by Janis Cox Last week I talked about the reason I feel that God does hear our prayers. That reason was God’s POWER. He CAN. Today I want to talk about why he wants to hear our prayers. I think that He… Continue reading GOD WANTS TO HEAR MY PRAYERS
