The Jews—Still God’s People?

Weren’t all the promises of God to the Jews fulfilled at the cross? Why then do people still refer to them as “God’s People?”

So many people talk about the Jews as being “God’s people” and about all the things He’s yet going to do for them. After the cross, all one has to do to become part of God’s family is have faith in Jesus Christ. So why would God give the Jews any special consideration? Weren’t all His promises to the Jews fulfilled at the cross?

The Jews – Still God’s People?

Christmas is Coming

A poem about the true meaning of Christmas. Are you focused on money? Gifts? Santa? Lights? Forget about that stuff & remember Jesus.

This poem reminds us that Christmas isn’t just about blowing money. It’s not about going into debt, about giving the most or getting the most, or about Santa Claus. It’s about the Jesus of the Bible, the One who came to earth to give us eternal life. Let’s try keeping our focus where it belongs this Christmas season.

Is This Guy Saved?

A question. I believe in Jesus but not the Trinity, virgin birth, deity of Christ, or the inerrancy of Scripture. Am I saved?

Here’s a question that came in recently. I’ll post it in its entirety.

I was raised in the Baptist church, my father was a pastor at one time. I made a public confession of my faith when I was young and was baptised. I became a missionary and did that work for nearly 20 years.

I no longer believe in the Trinity, the virgin birth, or that Jesus was God. I no longer believe that salvation is by faith nor do I believe in the inerrancy of the Bible.

But I do firmly believe in God and what Jesus actually said (not what they say he said). I pray every day and read and study the scriptures. I love God and Jesus. I see miracles happening all the time because of my faith and prayer.

Am I saved or not?

Well, what do you think? Is this guy saved or not?

Charan’s Christian Testimony

Don’t ever give up praying for your lost loved ones. God may yet work a miracle in their lives.

It’s easy to give up praying for someone when you’ve prayed for oh-so-long and the only answer is silence. It’s easy to ask the question, “God, why are you ignoring me? Why can’t you reveal yourself?”

Charan’s testimony reminds us never to stop praying for our loved ones that don’t know the Jesus of the Bible. Continue praying. God will hear and He will honor your commitment and perseverance.

Steven’s Christian Testimony

In a moment, Steven’s world turned upside down. If your life crashed & burned, would you still trust Jesus? Steven’s story.

In the blink of an eye, Steven’s world was turned upside down. Terrible automobile accidents have a tendency to do that to people.

Updated "About Us" Page

OK, I’ve updated the ABOUT US page and now there’s new information about Tim, me and the evolution of truthsaves.

I looked at the About Us page the other day and I noticed it said, “I don’t have any kids . . .” Since I have two kids I thought, hm, this page needs to be updated.

We’ve also received some questions asking about Tim. Questions like, “Who are you and why should we trust what you say?” So, we decided that our About Us page needed to include some information about Tim.

Not only that, but we thought readers might appreciate a little information about how the site has evolved over the years.

So, here it is. Our new, revamped About Us page.

Only Jesus

Only Jesus. Only Jesus saves. Only Jesus heals. Only Jesus gives eternal life. Only Jesus. A poem by Cindy Wyatt.

Cindy’s sent in another poem (last May, I know—sorry Cindy) and now it’s finally posted. Geez, I’m behind. Hopefully I’ll get through May soon. If anyone has anything to send in (a poem or testimony) please know that it will be posted, but probably not for a while.

Anyway, I think the title says it all for this poem. Only Jesus can infuse meaning into a meaningless existence.

Karen’s Testimony

Karen’s personal testimony – the story of the prodigal daughter.

I love stories like these. I guess it’s because I’ve heard so many of them. I guess it’s because it’s like mine.

So many parents have to deal with the grief of their child (or children) running away from God’s truth. They raise them to believe, but then watch helplessly as their children leave the fold and venture into sin.

God has a tendency to bring His children back to Himself. He does not want even one to be lost. If you’re the parent of such a child, be encouraged by Karen’s story.

Baptism & Salvation

Some say baptism is absolutely necessary for salvation? Is it? Does Scripture support that position?

This seems to be the never-ending topic.

So many people see baptism as a necessary requirement for salvation. Others go so far as to say it’s the act that brings salvation. We’re on the other side of the spectrum.

We see Scripture, time and again, telling us that we need to believe to be saved. Faith is the requirement. True faith will bring about a heart change. Being saved isn’t about some external act; it’s about running to God, trusting in Him, believing in His holy Word, living in constant communion with Him and being guided daily by His Holy Spirit.

It’s about having a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.
