Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
When I make a change to truthsaves.org, I’ll categorize it here.
Thrown in jail (again) for preaching the Gospel. A Christian testimony of boldness in the face of adversity.
Boldly sharing God’s Word wherever we go isn’t always easy. But when we do our part, God can work mighty miracles! Check out this story of my friend Henry; he continues preaching even when under fire, and God uses him in awesome ways.
An overview and outline of Habakkuk. We might call Habakkuk the questioning prophet. He posed two questions in this book.
Habakkuk was an early contemporary of Jeremiah, most likely prophesying from 609-606 B.C. He prophesied immediately before Judah went into captivity in 605 B.C. to Babylon. We might call Habakkuk the questioning prophet. He posed two questions, one in 1:2-4 and one in 1:12-17. The answer of the LORD came in 1:5-11 and in 2:2-20. The book ends with a magnificent prayer/song of Habakkuk in chapter 3.

An outline of Nahum containing historical information on the city of Nineveh.
Tonight I finished up formatting Tim’s Nahum outline. It gives much excellent historical background on the city of Nineveh.
Nahum stresses the fact that violence and oppression will not go unpunished. He makes it clear that living under God’s wrath is not a very smart idea.

This outline of Micah helps picture God’s desire to have a relationship with His people.
I just uploaded an outline of Micah. While Micah prophesies doom and destruction like other prophets, he also makes blatantly clear that God doesn’t desire sacrifices or lip service; He desires an intimate relationship with us.
6:6 “With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
If Jesus died on Friday and arose the next Sunday, what did He mean when He said He would be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights?
Jesus said, in Matthew 12:40, that as Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a whale, so He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. If He was crucified on a Friday and raised the following Sunday, how do you explain the this statement?
A short overview and outline of Jonah, an Old Testament prophet.
The book of Jonah is the best account in the Old Testament, perhaps in Scripture, about how the will of God and the will of man interact.
Jonah (a prophet of God) whined a lot. He ran from God. He came up with excuses. Yet God used him powerfully. Wow. I guess He might be able to use me too.
An overview and outline of Obadiah.
We know almost nothing about the man Obadiah. But he made a significant prophecy of destruction against the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, which came to pass around 500 B.C.
Amos, a sheepherder from the small town of Tekoa, prophesied the destruction of the mighty Israel. Read this short outline of Amos.
Amos was a seemingly insignificant sheepherder from a small town called Tekoa. After reading Amos, however, I think you’ll agree with me that nobody is insignificant! God uses the weak things of the world to bring down the powerful.
He prophesied to the mightiest nation in the Mediterranean, a nation at the peak of its power – Israel. People mocked him. Yet history proves his prophecies true, as Israel fell to the Assyrians less than 40 years later, in 722 B.C.
An overview and outline of Joel, one of the 12 minor prophets in the Old Testament.
An overview and outline of Joel. As Hosea develops the relationship of a husband and wife to portray the LORD’s interaction with Israel, thus Joel develops an invasion of locusts into a view of God’s impending destruction. Joel develops an invasion of locusts into a view of God’s impending destruction.
An outline of the Old Testament book of Hosea. Hosea demonstrates the grief of God and His continuing love for a rebellious people. The book begins with grief and ends with hope.
I just posted an outline of Hosea on truthsaves. Hosea demonstrates the grief of God and His continuing love for a rebellious people. The book begins with grief and ends with hope.
For me, Hosea is a “must-read.” So often I wonder how God could accept someone like me. But He does. He desires a relationship with us, no matter how rancid we appear to Him. He loves us and continually calls us to return to Him.
