Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
From Mr. Popular to drug addict to D.J. to Jesus – Sam’s amazing journey to Christ.
Another amazing story has recently hit our inbox.
Sam was an athlete in high school and college and enjoyed being popular and in the limelight. But as these situations often go, Sam didn’t become a professional athlete – instead he became a drug addict.
Find out how God brought someone into his life (like He did for me) to speak the truth to him and get him on the right track.
His feet, oh those beautiful that were nailed to the cross just so I would not be lost. A poem.
Jesus walked the miles for us. Every step he ever took was in our service. And, ultimately, his feet walked the path of death – for us.

This poem reminds us of the heavy debt Jesus paid for us. He gave His life so we could be free of sin’s bondage.
This poem was recently (well, not so recently; I’ve been busy and my computer’s been in the shop) submitted to us. It’s a beautiful reminder of the debt that Jesus paid for us. He gave His life. He paid for our sins. He paid the debt that we owe.
When we realize that all life’s treasures can’t provide fulfillment, we’re ready for Jesus. A powerful poem.
People work so hard to make their lives significant. Fame, wealth, status . . . but does any of it really matter?
Without Jesus, we’re nothing but broken people. And when we reach that conclusion, Jesus will be there waiting for us.
Read Karen’s first submission (a poem) to our site:
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.
Cindy’s poem encapsulates the gospel quite succinctly. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. The gift is ours for the taking.
It’s not often we see a poem that encapsulates the gospel so neatly. Cindy’s poem does so.
A site viewer posed the following question:
The Bible says that the Messiah would be of the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. According to Christians, Jesus was born of a virgin. However, tribal affiliation is conferred through the birth father only (Numbers 34:14, Numbers 1:18-44, Leviticus 24:10). The mother’s tribal affiliation was considered irrelevant to what her children’s tribal affiliation was and tribal affiliation/genealogy could not be inherited though a stepfather; only property could be inherited. Because Christians believe that Jesus had no human father, he would have had no tribal affiliation and would be eliminated from messianic consideration.
How can this be refuted?
The logic seems sound, doesn’t it? Let’s see if Scripture provides any clues as to how Jesus could be considered of the tribe of Judah.
A picturesque poem about the Master Painter putting His touch on our world.
This poem by Belinda Van Rensburg creates a picture in my mind. I see the hand of Jesus, as He paints the world into existence. A mountain here, a valley there, a canyon over yonder.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:3 (ESV)

A poem reminding us that the Christian walk is not about rules; it’s about a relationship with the God of the Bible.
Mike’s latest submission reminds us that following Jesus is not about remembering a litany of rules. It’s about a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.
Read Mike’s latest poem:
Luke presents a different genealogy of Jesus than does Matthew. Why?
The genealogy of Jesus presented by Matthew seems different than the genealogy presented by Luke. Why is this the case? What is the difference? Is one the genealogy of Joseph and the other the genealogy of Mary? Or are there simply irreconcilable differences between the two?
