The next week came and when I saw my dad he was crying uncontrollably. He then held me and told me that my stepfather came home, murdered my mom, shot my sister and then turned the gun on himself.

Marek’s Story
Marek’s Christian testimony reminds me of the prodigal son. God waits, regardless of our sin, desiring to welcome us home again. If you’ve been away, remember, He’s waiting with unconditional forgiveness.

It Is You — A Christian Poem
Tired of what you see in the mirror every morning? Is your body getting old? Wrinkles? Aching back? Gray hair? No hair? When you’re one of God’s children, you’re always loved by Him; it doesn’t matter how old you are or what you look like. He loves you.
Christians Are Hypocrites
Are Christians hypocrites? Sometimes, yes. But to say that all Christians are hypocrites is like saying that all blonds are dumb. It’s stereotypical and wrong. And to say that Christianity is false because some of them are hypocrites, well that’s ridiculous. Just because some math teachers are hypocrites doesn’t mean that two plus two doesn’t equal four. Truth is truth. And people are imperfect.
To Tell or Not to Tell
Sometimes we wonder. Should I tell my spouse this? Should I tell her that? What will happen if I tell him this secret? Sometimes guilt causes us to believe we should spill our guts. But what if spilling our guts will devastate the person we’re telling? Should we tell them anyway?
The Hebrew word for truth radiates Christ
Sometimes we run across some gems in Scripture accidentally. We did so in the Hebrew word for “truth” (emet). The word has some interesting features that seem to us to remind us of Christ. See if you agree.

Phumi’s Story
Phumi’s Christian testimony isn’t long, overly exciting, or dramatic, but I really like it. Why? Because it reminds us that we, as Christians, are to be separate from the world, not part of it. Not all new technology or high fashion is evil, but as Phumi warns us, we need to beware lest Satan steals our soul.
Paradise vs Pleasure — a Poem
It’s a simple choice we all face. An eternity with our heavenly father or temporary pleasure here on this earth. This poem reminds us of the significant sacrifice made for us by Jesus, and it prods us to think. What do we want? Why do we keep sinning? What about the pleasures of the world make them more valuable than an eternity with God?
How to React When We Feel Abandoned by God
Recently a reader sent in a question about feeling disconnected from God. The person felt that God and His Holy Spirit had abandoned them–that God had turned them over to a reprobate mind. How should we react when we feel separated from God? How can we reconnect? Does God really ever abandon people?

The New Chance: His Love — A Christian Poem
Emily’s poem reminds us that Jesus Christ, by His willing death on the cross at the hands of ignorant and hateful men, offered us a chance. A chance to live with Him eternally. A chance to overcome the power of death, experience heaven, and be friends with the maker of heaven and earth. Have you taken that chance? Or have you turned your back on His offer? I suggest reviewing the offer and taking the chance.
By the way, Emily’s only 10 years old! She’s our youngest contributor ever!
