Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
When I make a change to truthsaves.org, I’ll categorize it here.
Apostles and prophets—how are they different and do they exist today?
Apostles—do they exist today? Or were the 12 men identified by Jesus the only real apostles? What about prophets? Do we have prophets today? Are they different than apostles? And if we do have apostles and prophets today, how can they be identified? How can we know for sure who’s for real and who’s a fake?
A poem about giving everything to God and realizing that He is everything we need.
A Christian poem by Angie about realizing that God is everything we need and giving our lives fully to Him.
Serving Jesus when life really sucks isn’t easy but it’s essential.
I often find myself in situations I don’t like. I often find myself being treated poorly by others. I haven’t experienced this in my marriage, but what if I did? How would I react?
Living for Jesus isn’t always easy, but it should always, as Christians, be our number one priority. Even in extra-difficult situations we should seek to please Jesus and do as He would have us do. Please don’t think I’m being preachy; I fail miserably all the time. But even through my failures, I know that seeking to love and serve Jesus Christ should always be first in my mind.
Am I, a sinner, qualified to preach?
I’m a sinner. But I’ve been asked to preach. I’m about to preach my first sermon. But as I said, I’m a sinner. In fact, I struggle with drugs. I don’t feel qualified to preach God’s holy word. But I believe in Him. I love Him. I’m determined to overcome my sin. Should I preach the sermon?
Was Paul a self-appointed apostle and a liar? Or should Christians be studying his stuff as the basis for their faith?
A site reader told us that her pastor taught only the Pauline epistles. The pastor went so far as to say that Christians only need study Paul’s writings. But then the reader also heard others claim that Paul was a self-appointed apostle and a liar. So which is it?
Matthew left behind a lifestyle of drugs, partying and homosexuality and found freedom in a new life with Jesus Christ.
Matthew had long been involved in partying, drugs and homosexuality. But God pursued him and Matthew answered God’s call, leaving behind his old lifestyle and embracing his new life in Jesus Christ.
Anything can be abused. People need to stop blaming marijuana and start looking at the real source of the trouble.
Marijuana’s a great plant. It’s got all sorts of wonderful uses. People need to get off their high horse and stop blaming an innocent plant for all the world’s problems. Marijuana isn’t the problem. People are the problem. The problem comes when people abuse the plant.
Satisfaction can’t be found in relationships, drugs, jobs—it can only be found in a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.
Jeffrey looked for happiness in a lot of places. He tried marriage and having a family. But his marriage ended in divorce. He tried drugs. He tried other relationships. He tried different jobs. Nothing provided lasting satisfaction. Finally he tried Jesus. The rest is history.
God delivered David from the homosexual lifestyle and preserved him through two brain aneurysms.
God delivered David from the homosexual lifestyle. God used a Christian who ran a gym—a man who simply left informative Christian newsletters at the exit and entrance. These articles prompted David to read his Bible, and God delivered David and gave him a peace that passes all understanding. Now, God has not only delivered him from the gay lifestyle, but He’s preserved David through two brain aneurysms. David is still going strong; he’s thankful to God for His endless mercy.
My sin is so terrible I can’t even tell it. I hope that God can forgive me.
Think about all the sin in the world. Murder, theft, pride, adultery, lust, greed . . . the list is long. Which sin is the worst? Will God forgive some sins but not others? People often think their own sin is the worst sin ever in God’s eyes. But it’s important to remember that we serve a God of mercy, a God who forgave King David for murder and adultery, Manasseh for setting up idols and murdering innocent people (even his own son), Paul for campaigning against Him, Peter for denying Him . . .
