Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
A Christian poem about trusting God. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
Vinita sent us a poem about waiting on God. Sometimes we lose faith. We give up on God; we don’t believe He’ll keep His promises. But His Word promises that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it.
Never lose hope! God will never give up on us.

A Christian poem about being blessed.
Emily Schmidt recently submitted this beautiful little poem. She didn’t send me a title, so I called it “Blessed.”
Sin has a way of warping our conscience. It deadens our senses and desensitizes us to the promptings of the Spirit.

Sometimes our prayers may seem weak and useless. Fortunately, we don’t have to rely on the power of our words, but on the power of the One listening. He is faithful and just to forgive our sins; we must be faithful in returning to Him.

JW was a fingerstyle guitar player who broke both his wrists, his elbows and some of his ribs. The doctor told him he’d never play again. When I read that, all I could think was, “Wow, that must’ve really sucked.”
Does Scripture support the use of marijuana? Did the anointing oil contain cannabis? Did Jesus use marijuana? Sula Benet believed so. We don’t.
Someone said that Jesus used marijuana; that the anointing oil contained cannabis. Interesting.
Many who believe this cite the work of Dr. Sula Benet, an etymologist from Poland. In 1936 she concluded that the Hebrew words “q’nah-bosem” (Exodus 30:23) were etymologically related to “cannabis” and then reached the further conclusion that the anointing oil included marijuana. She noted the similarities with words from other Middle Eastern language groups. She further noted that the word could be used to reference a reed plant or a hemp plant, but she reached the definite conclusion that in the Exodus passage it meant the hemp plant.
We find Benet’s arguments weak. Her logic fails in many areas.
We believe there are two fundamentals approaches to Scripture. One is to look for support for what you already believe. The other is to seek to find in Scripture how we should be changed. Those who use this second approach in their reading of the Bible may find this article of interest.

When Megan gave her heart to God, he gave her a new heart. Read her testimony of faith.
Megan tried giving all her love to a person. He failed her. She gave her heart to God and guess what? He gave her a new heart, as He promised.
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:26 (ESV)
A Christian poem about greed and the lure of money.
Greed. It’s pervasive. It creeps in and takes control.
Don’t let it!
God gave His life for us. It’s our reasonable service to give our lives, along with our money, to Him.
