Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 6:22
"But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life."
Colossians 2:6-7
"Freedom From Human Regulations Through Life With Christ
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Galatians 5:1
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
1 Thessalonians 5:23
"Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

I first and foremost do all of this in the name of Christ Jesus my Lord and savior, my rock and my foundation of truth. I am not talking about the plastic fake cheesy Jesus that this culture would have you believe in… I am talking about the objective historical man who lived and walked this earth over 2000 years ago, changed lives, blew minds with radical love, died was buried and rose again from the dead... My faith is not watered down. I stand firm in my faith with objective bold truth rooted reality and facts, and I stand in faith lovingly towards others not oppressively. I don’t love religion, in fact I would go as far to boldly say that I hate religion. But I love Christ, because what he did was destroy religion along with its dogma and laws, and instead made a relationship and bridge from us fallen human beings to the loving holy God that we cannot begin to understand.
Whether you believe in him or not, he still loves you and laid down his life for you!...
For as long I could hold a crayon, I have been trying to use my creativity in any medium I could get my hands on and try to share my work with others, not to glorify myself or my own personal talents, but to glorify the one who has given me my talent, Christ, who gives me strength in all of the work that I do to glorify his name and nothing else!
Hebrews 13 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
1 Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
hey man thanks for the artwork you did. we have our layout still in the process of being built but we have a song up on a temp layout. thanks again www.myspace.com/iamhistorypa
Deff in the future I will purchase one no doubt! I'm getting married on sep 20th so money it tight, but man to have you make me a sword, would be an honor. You really dont understand how much i admire your skill and things of that nature. Growing up there was nothing like escaping into other worlds to get away from my family problems. It was a help for me growing up to be in the realm of dwarfs and wizards and dragons. It all sound geekish and weird to many but man, its enchanting, hints why Lord of the Rings is my all time favorite, and my anticipation for the Hobit series is ridiculess! LOL, Well Grace and peace Brother.
Bro, it is so amazing what you do. From childhood I have had the same passion for history and mythology. What your doing with your God given talent is beautiful and I want to thank you, because it really does inspire me. I will be purchasing on of your forged swords or knives. I have always had knives growing up, my dad would collect all sorts and then he gave them all to me. Bless you bro. Grow in your skill, but grow more as a student of Gods word rightly dividing the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil.
Funny story. I'm actually watching the video's in your bulletin and I just got your comment. Hahah. That made me laugh. I looove Lecrae and Flame. I'm massively stoked on that show.
PS. Thanks for the bulletin. I don't really understand the whole 'elect' thing and how it works. I don't even really understand the video, haha. I shot my pastor a message on myspace though and asked about it so I could get some opinions on it.
Psalm 93:1~5 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
Psalm 25:4~6 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
i really enjoyed coming across your profile. i majored in digital art and your pieces i can really relate to. thanks for the encouragement. i enjoyed your last bulletin about the wonder of God. stay in the creative field.
Psalm 97 1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Hey my brother! I have shown my youth and family pastor your beautiful artwork and obsession with the Christman. Something came up while i was talking with him. Do you remember this guy that was part of the college ministry when bryan allred was the college leader at westminister presbyterian in muncie, indiana. His name is Jeremy Kistler, and he remembers you and your sister hannah and your parents. He was greatly encouraged by the work that Christ is doing in your life. He said that your dad should remember him.
much love my brother and once again the providence of God as it always does is amazing!
Matthew 18:21~35 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
