What is an Apostate?
What is an apostate? Is the Bible clear on the subject? Is it one who believes then leaves?
What is an apostate? Does the Bible make it clear? Is it one who believes in God then decides to depart from the faith? Can a person really depart from the faith? Does the Bible even use the word?
Three Poems from Emily
Emily sent in 3 short poems that pack a powerful message of trust and hope.
Here are some poems that have been sitting in the truthsaves repository for some time now (yes, I know, anyone who’s submitted anything has had quite a wait; I’m sorry). Emily sent them in and I think they’re very succinct and pack a powerful message for those willing to hear it.
Mike’s Christian Testimony – Freedom from Drugs & Alcohol
Mike’s testimony of how God freed him from the stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and gave him his life back.
Mike sent in this story a while ago and I finally got around to posting it. I appreciate this story a lot, probably because it contains a lot of similarities to my own story. Of course there are differences, but it’s amazing how God finds ways to reach each of us.
Here’s an excerpt from his story to capture your interest . . .
For years I was a daily user of marijuana, and spent my weekends partying with friends. I would go through jobs almost as fast as I would smoke a carton of cigarettes, that is until I was offered the ultimate job for a person with my lifestyle, a place I had burned most of my free time and money at, the Renton Pub. Now I would at least be paid to be there (although I would still recycle most of my paycheck back to The Pub). At this point I led a life of little responsibility and no accountability. I met a young lady and I eventually became responsible for the birth of a baby girl. At this point my transgressions had not been actualized, and little had changed in my life. A few months later I met another young woman and once again became responsible for another pregnancy.
Prayer

This short poem is a cry to God.
Can We Understand Revelation?
Is it possible for anyone to really understand the book of Revelation?
Some people, apparently, think it is impossible for us to ever understand the book of Revelation. Yes, there is much written in this book that is difficult to understand, but we have a very hard time believing God would include it in His holy Word if He didn’t think it would do us any good. So, our thoughts on this book are grounded in the supposition that God does not intentionally hide His truth from us in His Word; rather, He reveals it.
Jesus – God or Son of God?
The Bible refers to Jesus as God. It also refers to Him as the Son of God. So which is it?
Well, we’ve already written an article or two or three on this topic before but we thought we’d throw another one out there. The question seems to keep getting asked.

Can women be pastors and preach the Bible? Does the Bible have anything to say about it?

Does God Condone Adultery?
If someone divorces then remarries, they commit adultery. How then can God condone the new marriage?
This one’s hard to describe. Let me post a portion of the original question sent to Tim.
I feel the church that I attend is becoming a seeker friendly church and is trying to avoid “so called” controversial topics like hell, various types of sins, obedience to God, materialism, etc. There is one topic that Jesus talks about that I doubt I will ever hear in my church and that is the subject of divorce. Divorce is a big problem in this country and “Christian” couples seem to be just as likely to get divorced as non-Christian couples even though it should not be this way. What I read and understand from Jesus, is that God wants married couples to remain married (Matthew 19:6, Malachi 2:16). Paul also says not to get divorced (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). I also read that if a couple does get divorced for anything other than unfaithfulness and then either the husband or wife remarries, they are committing adultery in the new marriage (Matthew 19:9, Matthew 5:32, Mark 10:11-12). My question to Tim is this, if a Christian couple gets divorced for any reason other than unfaithfulness, and then either or both remarry, are they committing adultery? If they are committing adultery, are they forgiven by God even though they are continually sinning in this new relationship? Since repentance is the turning away from sin and not wanting to do it (a change of heart and mind), I do not understand how a divorced couple that has been remarried is not sinning.
