Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
What’s the point of truthsaves.org? Who are we? What do we promote? What’s the website about?
We still get quite a few questions on who we are, what we believe, what theology we’re promoting, etc. Typically we try not to talk much about ourselves on this site, because the point is to bring glory to God – not ourselves. But it’s also important that people understand where we’re coming from. So, here’s a little bit of information about the purpose of the website.
Salvation is offered freely to all. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done. God is waiting to transform your life. A poem.
Mike sends in poems once in a while and I don’t post them for about 10 years. So, I’m happy that he continues to send in poems even though I’m so slow at getting them up.
This one, Salvation, really hit home with me. I have already obtained salvation, by the grace of Jesus Christ, but there is still internal strife that needs to be overcome. Sin still crops up. Satan still battles for my soul. Transformation is still necessary for me to grow into the person Jesus wants me to be.
When we confess our sin to one another, should we confess every single sordid detail?
Sometimes people feel as if they must admit every sordid detail of their sin to another. Is this a Scriptural model for confessing sin?
Linda’s testimony is short and sweet. It reminds us that God directs; He always has a plan for our lives.
Linda’s testimony is short and sweet. Take two minutes and read it for yourself. I don’t want to spoil it!
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?
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 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.
A poem that’s a cry to God. It’s awesome to know that He hears us and He forgives us.
This short poem is a cry to God.
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.
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.
