Scripture Graphics 10

The journey of following Christ is a daily battle of saying "no" to self and "yes" to Christ.

Complete abandon. This was Christ's life for us. If He so freely have so that we could have life, should not we freely give of our time and lives for others?

Scripture Designs 09

"It is written...it is written...it is written..." (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)We are reminded that Jesus used Scripture to combat satan's temptations, but does this knowledge affect our daily life? How can we use Scripture in the face of temptation of we are not actively reading, memorizing, and studying God's Word?

First of all, they're one of the cutest couples I know. ;) I may or may not be a bit biased. ;)

Second, doing their engag...

Wow, what a challenge to include those topics--yet I know how needful in our day and age! What spurred on the desire for writing? I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t writing. That may have more to do with my poor memory than with my...
