Fall Marriage Encounter Fall in love all over again this fall! Call to reserve your space in the Oct Weekend held in the Sacramento area. For questions or applications, contact Rob & Debbie Purvis (text ok) Applications accepted through Oct. 9 th. God s Treasure Chest Truth must stand in its own order, linked only with truth. Unbelief disturbs the balance of the system of truth, and tends to destroy the whole. The mind that cherishes sentiments that tend to destroy the foundation of the faith that has made us what we are becomes confused, and cannot discern between truth and error. {7MR 189.3} Luther Nailed It!
