After Sin

Here is my first artwork in a couple of decades. I have had many distractions and some struggles over the years and just couldn't and didn't do art for far too long. The will and ambition to draw is always there. Some of the time attempts to make art would yield results I did not want. 

In the last few months I was doodling and trying to draw. And, there was more and more prodding from coincidences. It all came together when I changed jobs (time) and changed phones (tools.) Crazy that a phone can make so much of a difference. I picked out the Samsung Z Fold 3, a great phone that is cutting edge technology. As I am looking at art tools, I figure out that there is a free trial offer for Clip Studio Paint. A program that is comparable to Photoshop, which I used back in the 1990's! Back then I used a big desktop computer, monitor, scanner and more. Now, it's all in the palm of my hand in a phone! It's mind blowing!

As I worked through what to draw I knew it needed to be something Biblical and "good." As I settled on the challenging subject of our Lord and Savior I took inspiration from the book of Revelation and the Crushing Snakes music video by Crowder. This allowed me to envision Jesus in the dynamic and active vison in this art. This is Jesus coming "AFTER SIN" that is in your life. There is no place for sin to hide, not even the dark caves of our hearts. Jesus comes with The Truth to save you. He is unstoppable!
I hope you like my effort.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
