Whatever

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.

Jesus Came to Save

Another amazing story has recently hit our inbox.

Sam was an athlete in high school and college and enjoyed being popular and in the limelight. But as these situations often go, Sam didn’t become a professional athlete – instead he became a drug addict.

Find out how God brought someone into his life (like He did for me) to speak the truth to him and get him on the right track.

Jesus Changed Me

I recently received this moving story from Shawn. He lived a life full of pain and regret. He was a hard-core atheist and fully addicted to drugs. He spent years of his life wallowing in misery and depression. Find out how God freed him from all of it.

One detail that might go unnoticed in this story really struck me. As Shawn lived in a hotel for months on end, he threw a Bible away a number of times. Every time he came back to his room the maid had taken it out of the trash and put it on his bed or nightstand. We don’t know that maid’s name or anything about her. What we know is that her commitment to pulling that Bible out of the trash ultimately saved Shawn’s life.

Let her example encourage you to listen to Jesus today.

From Atheist to Believer

Jesus walked the miles for us. Every step he ever took was in our service. And, ultimately, his feet walked the path of death – for us.

Check out our latest poem . . .

His Feet

This poem was recently (well, not so recently; I’ve been busy and my computer’s been in the shop) submitted to us. It’s a beautiful reminder of the debt that Jesus paid for us. He gave His life. He paid for our sins. He paid the debt that we owe.

Jesus Paid My Debt

Don’t worry, I’ll get back to posting new poems and testimonies soon, but in the meantime, I’m enjoying (or should I say fearing) finding foods in my own cupboards containing high fructose corn syrup.

Today I found a box that says, “Tastes Great and Contains 5 Grams Whole Grain!” The box also boasts that it’s a “sensible solution” with “low saturated fat” and “no cholesterol.” It’s a common food people feed to their babies as a snack as well! What’s this obesity-causing food?

Nabisco Honey Maid Honey Grahams. That’s right. Again, we have a food that seems like it shouldn’t be that bad. But the wonderfully yummy grahams contain not only HFCS, but also soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil.

Stay away from this garbage unless you want to grow fat and diseased. My sincere apologies to my baby for ever feeding her such junk.

Today, while browsing through some foods in my house, I located another source of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It’s ketchup. Ketchup? Yes, ketchup. The brand of the ketchup in my fridge is Hy-Top (Safeway brand I think) but most other ketchups have it too. Heinz, for instance.

Fries and hamburgers are already bad enough for you. Is there any need to add obsesity and diabetes-causing ingredients to a meal that’s already clogging your arteries? Not in my book. My next bottle of ketchup will surely be organic.
