No Substitute

Potions, pills, religions, cults-they provide temporary fixes to mend lives filled with pain & loss. But there’s only one true fix.

This poem reminds us that nothing the world can offer provides true fulfillment. Sure, drugs will cover pain for a short while. Sex can make us feel loved and happy – temporarily. Psychologists provide advice on how to be happy. Oprah tells us what to do to be successful. Movies, the Internet, music, video games, careers . . . the list of temporary fixes goes on forever.

But there is only one true source of fulfillment and that is Jesus Christ.

No Substitute

God’s Gift

If you don’t know Jesus, this poem will tell you about the gift he offers to us – eternal life.

This is an amazing poem.

The author states his purpose in the opening stanza:

When I first heard the gospel news,
It was revealed to me,
Why Jesus Christ came to this earth,
To die to set us free.
I’d like to share this news with you,
Why the Lord Jesus came,
So you can have this free gift too,
When you call upon his name.

For those of you who don’t know the story of Jesus Christ and what He did for you and me, this poem will lead you in the right direction.

My Brother the King

My Brother the King takes the reader on a journey from creation to the present.

This beautifully crafted poem by Tim takes the reader on a journey from creation to the present.

It paints a vivid picture of Jesus Christ, our King, and how He unveiled His perfect plan – in order for us to be His friends and to spend eternity with Him.

Publish your original Christian poetry on our site. Send in your Christian poems and we’ll post them.

Poems never really were my thing. They bored me. But the older I get, the more I find myself liking poems, especially poems that speak to one’s walk with the Jesus of the Bible.

So, I created a page just for Christian poetry. If you have a poem that’s about Jesus, or related to your walk with Jesus, you can send it to me and I’ll post it! Right now we have about 40 poems but I want hundreds, if not thousands of poems that glorify Jesus Christ!

So, send ’em in. We love to read original poetry, and we love to publish it.
All for His glory!

Verses Describing the Deity of Jesus

The Bible supports the fact that Jesus is God.

Jesus equals God. God equals Jesus.

Do you believe this? Do you believe the Bible?

If you answered “no” to the first question and “yes” to the second, you might want to review your Bible.

Verses that Prove the Deity of Jesus

Hetty’s Christian Testimony

Read Hetty’s amazing Christian testimony of the power of Jesus Christ. She has struggled through continual sickness and pain, but still keeps Jesus front and center in her life.

Late last night I read a flabbergasting life story of a woman racked with disease and pain. As I read her tweets and her messages to me, she sounded energetic, upbeat and happy. That, my friends, is an authentic demonstration of the power of Jesus Christ at work in a person’s life. I’m a believer, but if I had to go through half of the troubles Hetty’s been through, I think my attitude might really suck.

What Christmas Means to Me

A Christian poem about the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus Christ.

Christmas. It’s almost here. We can focus on spending all our hard earned money in order to go deeply into debt so we can enjoy fighting an uphill battle to re-balance our finances for 2009, or we can focus on the real meaning of the season – Jesus Christ.

I choose the latter.

Tim’s written a poem describing a man with just this kind of focus – a man dedicated to knowing and finding His savior.

It’s called What Christmas Means to Me.

Two New Christian Poems

Two poems about Jesus Christ and the hope He has supplied to the world.

Here at truthsaves we love poems that glorify Jesus Christ. Recently we’ve received two excellent submissions. One is written by Joe Breunig, author of Reaching Toward His Unbounded Glory (http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513), and it’s about the truth revealed in Biblical archaeology.

Read Prism to Our Past here.

The other is a powerful poem by Scot Crone revealing the hope Jesus Christ graciously supplies to all those who trust in Him. It doesn’t matter what we’ve done or where we are in life – God waits for us. His mercies are new every morning.

New Testimony on truthsaves.org – Arrested!

Read this Christian testimony of being arrested for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This testimony tells the story of an arrest . . . typically the testimonies posted on this site tell of a conversion experience. Webster defines the word “testimony” as:

1. an open acknowledgment or
2. a public profession of religious experience.

I think that leaves it pretty wide open.

So, take some time to read Henry’s story of being arrested for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s a good reminder that no matter what the cost, we need to be confidently and openly sharing our faith.

We want your Christian Testimony!

Submit your Christian testimony to us and we’ll post it on our site.

I know I’ve said this before, in other places, at other times . . . but we’d really like to have your Christian testimony! Your testimony could be the one that someone needs to hear. Sometimes it’s a bit of a pain to write something up, or perhaps you don’t think you’re a good writer at all. It doesn’t matter! We can help you edit your testimony until it’s just what you want. Jesus didn’t call us to be sedentary and keep all the Good News bottled up. He commanded us to share His Word to the nations.

No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.
Luke 8:16

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19, 20

Sharing what He’s done in your life is an easy way to do this!  All it takes is a few minutes of effort on your part to write up your testimony and email it to us.  We’ll post it for the world to read.  Our website, in terms of traffic, grows monthly.  This last month (December 2007) was our busiest month yet.  If you post your story with us, the world will read it.   You will be obeying God’s command to let your light shine.

Your testimony doesn’t have to be a shocking story, or an amazing story that will blow people away.  We’re not looking only for sensational, unbelievable, dramatic, earth-shaking Christian testmonies (although we like those too).  We just want your story of God’s grace and forgiveness in your life, whatever that may be.  Every Christian has such a story.  Every person who has experienced God’s grace has a story worth telling.  And every story is a story worth hearing.  If you feel the Spirit prompting you to share His truth with others, now is a good time to get started.  Sit down and start writing it up.  We’ll not only post it here, but if you’d like, we can also recommend other sites that will post your testimony as well.

In His service,

Eric
