Only Through Jesus

Only through Jesus
and not through me...
it's only through Him
that I truly see.

Only through Jesus
I can't go wrong...
I'm finally singing
a decent song.

Only through Jesus
and not through me...
I have been broken,
but truly set free.

Only through Jesus
I can't go wrong...
when I am weak
He is strong.

Only through Jesus
I'm finally free...
I only wish
that all could see...
that this is not
because of me...
only through Jesus
I'm truly free!

Only through Jesus,
this is my case:
I'm only a sinner,
saved by grace.

Note: Before I wrote this poem, I said a short prayer asking God to give me the right words for this poem. So to Him be the glory. Here are some verses that helped inspire this poem....

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:5-7).

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is
made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Unwittingly Proving The Bible to be True

By Jesse Larsen, written on November 24, 2009 As some of you may have noticed, we are currently living in a day when hostility towards Bible believing Christians (and even God Himself) is increasing like never before. I see this hostility through the comments that are made on much of the Christian videos I watch on You Tube, and I have also seen it on the message boards that I have been to over the years (both Christian and secular message boards). This obvious hostility has been seen through those who call themselves "The New Atheists" , it has been seen through the continual anti Christian propaganda that comes out of Hollywood, some video games .... and even through some of the music that I used to listen to before I was a Christian myself . This worldwide hostility towards true Christians is not just limited to atheists - I actually see it the most in those who are religious - and even some who claim to be "spiritual but not religious" - yet their lives sh...

Can Masculinity Be Toxic?

By Jesse Larsen, written on August 21, 2025 I want to start out this article by saying that I am all for respecting women, but the term "toxic masculinity" implies that woman are superior to men, and that is the main problem I have with it. With that being the case, I just wanted to write a brief article to point out that neither masculinity or femininity are to blame for some of the problems that both of them have been blamed for. Masculinity is what God intended for men right from the beginning of creation, and femininity is what He intended for women. While there are indeed some men who are disrespectful towards women, there are also women who are disrespectful towards other women. I see that all the time. So the main point that I want to make here is that masculinity has nothing to do with the corrupt nature that is in all of us, which is revealed by the following verses: "there is none righteous....for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (R...

Philosophy Vs. Christ

By Jesse Larsen “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” - Matthew 7:13-14. (Kings James Version) “Then one said to Him, ‘Lord, are there few who are saved?’ And He said to them, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able’” – Luke 13:23-24. In our day, there are some who claim to believe that the Bible is true, yet they seem to deny that truth can even be recognized. Some may view that mindset as reasonable… After all, there are so many different people in the world who have come up with so many different interpretations for different Bible verses. How can we really know the truth? First of all, I would like to point out the fact that the Scriptures themselves make it abundantly clear that interpretations belong ...
