Whatever

Some will tell you that God has been completely silent for periods of time. Some say that God was utterly silent during the 400 years between the time of Malachi, the last Old Testament prophet, and the time of Jesus. Others say that God may have been silent during the 400 years that Israel was in Egypt.

We don’t believe God has ever been silent. Find out why.

God’s Silence

I really like this poem.

We hear so much about our wonderful homeland security (and of course it’s excellent) but for Christians, our homeland is elsewhere. And God’s our homeland security director. He will never make mistakes or let any harm come to us. We have eternity to chill out and relax.

So why in the world doesn’t everyone want to live in our eternal homeland? That’s one I’ll never be able to figure out.

Homeland Security

God’s free gift of salvation is available to you . . . or anyone else willing to claim it. Cindy’s poem tells us about it.

Free Gift of Salvation

We all have a simple choice: we can choose life or we can choose death. God suggests (and I agree with Him) that we choose life.

He alone can provide peace. It’s up to you whether or not you want to experience it.

Where is the Peace

I cannot know. Three words we’ve heard often from people who don’t believe.

I do not know. Again, words we’ve heard often from people who don’t believe in the Jesus of the Bible.

One of those statements is false. The other is most likely true.

Check out Tim’s latest poem, a clever collection of thoughts about logic and the truth.

I Cannot Know

Sometimes it’s hard to know what God’s thinking. Our lives seem full of needless suffering and pain. We do all we can to please Him . . . yet, life remains hard. We don’t understand.

This poem reflects on God’s sovereignty as He guides and directs our lives. Our job is simply to submit to His will and remain faithful ’til the end.

Unnamed Poem

Another poem by Tim.

God’s glory wasn’t always revealed in awesome displays of power. Most of the time it was revealed in His simple, serving, sinless life.

Glory

Here’s a question that was recently sent in by a site visitor:

How can I be sure of my salvation? I have confessed Jesus to people I know and was baptized. I told my family members about Jesus because the Bible says to confess him before men. How can I be sure that I am still saved or ever was?

The little book of 1 John has a lot to say about this topic. And guess what? This is not something we have to wonder about.

Be Sure of Your Salvation

²⁶ For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

²⁷ but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:26, 27

This verse makes a lot of people nervous. Can a Christian really lose his or her salvation? What does it mean, “there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins”? The “adveraries” – who are they? Find out what we think of this passage.

Hebrews 10:26 – Can Salvation Be Lost?

It’s easy to let our Bible sit on the shelf and gather dust. I’ve been guilty of it.

But God’s Word contains life; it contains the message that God has for you and me. It tells of creation, the reason for living and the end of things.

Take some time to read it today and every day.

The Dusty Old Book (a poem by Belinda)

We often see rainbows. But when we do, do we remember God’s promise?

This poem helps us remember that God gave us a promise and He reveals that promise through a sign – a rainbow.

The Sign of the Bow

Sometimes we forget the purpose of Jesus’ visit to this planet.

This poem reminds us why He came. He came to save sinners like you & me.
