Amazing Experience: We Witnessed a Miracle!

Abigail Wells — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:42:33 -0400

It has long been my premise that a congregation must grow up gradually and with intent. Tough moments come to us as individuals. Tough moments come to congregations. How tough moments are handled is witness to maturity.

Everybody Wants To Be Somebody

A pastor I knew some years ago loved to take a tent in the summer to a country community and have revival. To stay near his tent in order to protect it he would set up his camper close by.

Laila Says of ME

Abigail Wells — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:05:32 -0400

"You think too much."

Much of the evening of this writing was shared with friends. We were in a healing mode of loss of a dear friend.

Down Home On The Farm

Dad and Mom married about 1937. Dad turned his hand to various trades to provide for the family.

Roads Not Traveled

Life is a teacher for those willing to learn. Being a student is not always easy.

Fresh Fire

I love it when a plan comes together.

Our mission conference was one of the best ever.

To The Covenant Family

Abigail Wells — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:45:45 -0400

Many of you will remember that on the Sunday after 9-11, I preached a sermon about the merry-go-round. At first the ride is so gentle. But then the motor and switch defect. The merry-go-round speeds up.

First Things First

God sets heaven before us. We too often struggle with imperfections of life, allowing such thoughts to taint our joy and thwart our optimism.

In the early years of marriage Laila and I spent an evening with several other couples.

Frankly

Abigail Wells — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:54:40 -0400

To tell the truth I am overwhelmed. Yes, it is true. I just feel overwhelmed.

Prophetic Times

Abigail Wells — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:38:03 -0500

Are these are prophetic times? Do we believe that world events are pointing to the soon coming of Jesus Christ for the rapture of the Church? Do we see ourselves in the bi

Whose Church?

Abigail Wells — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:17:18 -0500

A dear brother who has attended Covenant for some time spoke with excitement about Covenant Church: "Pastor, your church....".

Of This I am Certain

Abigail Wells — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 22:00:00 -0500

Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. Prosperity preaching and comfortable living have spoiled many "Christians."

The Cost of Discipleship

Abigail Wells — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:50:46 -0500

On this Valentine Day it is a good thing to check our heart and see if we love Jesus as much as when we first met Him. Cross-bearing Christians must wrestle with their conscience.

Ten Cent Heaven

Abigail Wells — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:53:43 -0500

I have heard and read of people getting a glimpse of heaven. Odd, unusual, peculiar, awesome…are some of the words that come to mind when I think of these stories. Allow me to share my story.

It Seemed So Simple

Abigail Wells — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:48:21 -0500

Laila’s bike went off the edge of a sidewalk. The drop was too much. She managed a fall just shy of a brick wall. I came to her. She was sitting there. We talked. She thought she would be OK in a couple of minutes.

The Ditches of Life

Abigail Wells — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:58:04 -0500

An attractive 24 year-old woman boasts of being an Atheist. Logic is her god, with the right to make personal choices. Others in the group applaud her decision that declares there is no God!

Sojourning

Abigail Wells — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:02:43 -0500

Laila and I left after worship and a leadership meeting on Sunday. Arriving in Winchester we shared a time with Stewart Wilkerson and the youth leaders of Winchester Church of God. Stewart has come aboard to lead youth of Covenant Church.

Ownership

Abigail Wells — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:44:42 -0500

We ended 2011 with gratitude to the Lord. New Year's Day we gathered strong to worship and fellowship. What a wonderful day!

Not Afraid

Abigail Wells — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:01:40 -0500

Do not be afraid to say it: “Jesus is the Reason not only for the Season, but for all things!” Yes, He was before Creation, helped to plan creation, participated in Creation, is the Giver of Life, the Savior of the World, and the HOPE of the Ages.
