The intent of this weblog is to encourage and inspire all of us to live out our faith and exercise our salvation through our words and actions. Through the reliance of the Holy Spirit in us and the power of God’s Word through us, we can be effective messengers of good news throughout the world. My prayer is for people to have a full understanding of coming to the well of God’s Word for not only the strength and courage, but also for the message itself. My name is Dave Malnes and I look forward to sharing with you insights that have been helpful and encouraging for me.
WITNESS WELL
A life in Christ confidently shares and consistently displays the truth of God's Word
I am amazed, Dave, at what you have set up here, and I am also amazed at the insights you have shared on this site.
I just read your ‘about’ and thought ‘right on!’ I completely agree… it is so much about being with Christ right where we are at!! What happens if we neglect our own town, job or family– look at what happens to kids, because their parents shrug them off and let them watch MTV, and the internet instead of spending time with them. Great post and great site- thanks for your honesty.
Thanks for your comments, John.
I firmly believe as well that in this day and time we are all cross-cultural missionaries, even here in our own country. I think we witness not only to non-believers of many different cultures, but also to non-believers who may be of our own ethnicity, whatever that may be, but of a vastly different post-modern mindset. I think in many ways this is our challenge and in your “about” post you have spoken well.
Thank you for giving such wise advice. In our age too much is based on being a ‘good person’ and not what the Bible says. You haven’t fallen prey to that.

Awesome content. I look forward to seeing more….thanks.
I’m just now discovering your excellent site, with the informative content and helpful sources. Great job. Btw, as I read the first comments in the latest newsletter, I had a quick question. The newsletter refers to a story from the BOM. When I clicked on the link, I was taken to an article by Boyd K. Packer. In Packer’s article, there’s a reference to Alma 42. Actually, as usual, Packer sounds a bit more severe than the BOM itself. I didn’t find a detailed account, in which Jesus is quoted as commanding that anybody to pay his or her own debt. Packer, however, typically does say such things. Later LDS “revelations” are much clearer about this, as well. I think “Apostle” Packer has exaggerated what his own church’s scripture actually says in Alma. Another passage in the BOM (“We are saved by grace, after all we can do…..”) might have worked better for him. Thanks again for your own very good site!
