FAITHFUL SAYINGS

“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.” 1 Timothy 1:15 ESV

Christ Jesus came into the world to save the lost!

All sufficient grace overflows to me, of sinners the foremost

My Redeemer’s great mercy displays his perfect patience

Rejoice in the faithfulness and love that are in Christ Jesus!

“Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.” 1 Timothy 4:7-9 ESV

Godliness is treasured in every way holding the promise of life

Our hope is set on the living God for whom we toil and strive

Grow your faith with virtue, knowledge, restraint and steadfastness

Enhance brotherly affection with genuine love leading to godliness

“The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13 ESV

In suffering with Christ Jesus we will also reign with him

Our sufferings cannot compare to the Lamb who bore our sins

Rejoice! Suffering produces endurance, character and hope unending

All glory to Christ whose love for us was manifested in suffering!

“The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.” Titus 3:8 ESV

Good works were prepared beforehand for us who are in Christ Jesus

Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all unrighteousness

A people zealous for good works for the glory of the Living Word

Let us stir up one another to love and devotion to good works!

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
