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.
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.
If someone divorces then remarries, they commit adultery. How then can God condone the new marriage?
This one’s hard to describe. Let me post a portion of the original question sent to Tim.
I feel the church that I attend is becoming a seeker friendly church and is trying to avoid “so called” controversial topics like hell, various types of sins, obedience to God, materialism, etc. There is one topic that Jesus talks about that I doubt I will ever hear in my church and that is the subject of divorce. Divorce is a big problem in this country and “Christian” couples seem to be just as likely to get divorced as non-Christian couples even though it should not be this way. What I read and understand from Jesus, is that God wants married couples to remain married (Matthew 19:6, Malachi 2:16). Paul also says not to get divorced (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). I also read that if a couple does get divorced for anything other than unfaithfulness and then either the husband or wife remarries, they are committing adultery in the new marriage (Matthew 19:9, Matthew 5:32, Mark 10:11-12). My question to Tim is this, if a Christian couple gets divorced for any reason other than unfaithfulness, and then either or both remarry, are they committing adultery? If they are committing adultery, are they forgiven by God even though they are continually sinning in this new relationship? Since repentance is the turning away from sin and not wanting to do it (a change of heart and mind), I do not understand how a divorced couple that has been remarried is not sinning.
Read Christopher’s testimony – the story of how God opened the ears and eyes of an unbelieving scientist.
It’s pretty amazing when God steps in and changes someone’s life. What’s even more amazing is when it’s a person who’s already convinced that God is a myth. Check out Christopher’s testimony – the story of how God opened the ears and eyes of an unbelieving scientist.
Brooke’s testimony tells of God’s mercy. He listens to those who call on His name.
Brooke’s testimony is powerful.
It’s an illustration of God’s promise to never leave or forsake us.
Brooke ran as far from Him as she could. But when she needed Him, she cried out to Him and He answered her. He came to her in her time of need.
Not only that, but Brooke had a network of Christians praying for her. God listened to those prayers and he responded to them in a powerful way. The prayer of the saints is effective (James 5:16).
I rejoice with Paul, knowing that the gospel of God is being preached through Brooke and her story. Praise God! I’m thankful to serve One who will never leave or forsake us . . . One who will always welcome us home.
Jesus cares for us. He gives us life and hope and he directs our paths. Two Christian poems.
God cares for us. It’s true and His Word illustrates the point nicely.
Jesus give us life. He gives us hope. He directs our paths.
Karen Ong’s recent poetry submissions paint a clear picture of how much Jesus, our Great God & Savior, loves and cares for us.
Some say that God has been silent for periods of time in history. Find out what we think.
Some will tell you that God has been completely silent for periods of time. Some say that God was utterly silent during the 400 years between the time of Malachi, the last Old Testament prophet, and the time of Jesus. Others say that God may have been silent during the 400 years that Israel was in Egypt.
We don’t believe God has ever been silent. Find out why.
