Inheritance

God's Warth is Coming... Are You Ready?

You had better listen to the words of Jesus, “Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter, but he that does the will of my father in heaven.” If ye by the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live. If you live after the flesh, you’ll die! The cross does not give us a minor shift or two with regard to a few of our ethical and religious values. The cross radically disrupts the very center and citadel of your life from self to Christ. And if the cross has not done that, YOU’RE NOT A CHRISTIAN! My Friend face it, young rogue, you’re not a Christian until the cross has radically disrupted the very center and citadel of your life! And brought you from a life of commitment to serve self…What are the focal points of the reign of your self? If you’ve gone to the cross in union with Christ, it’s been shattered!"

Some Pictures from the Last Year - Without Commentary

Sorry, commentary will have to come later if I get around to it before I fly out in a week. But these pictures are from the last year in Malawi. These are not in chronological order. All pictures were taken by me.

The best picture:

That is a real Python killed on the property where I was living... :-|

Special thanks to Wacom for an excellent tablet and to Adobe for Photoshop and its powerful tools. But most of all, praise to the Lord that he has blessed me with an ability to draw. I find great joy in it.

Food for Thought

"The revelation made of Christ in the blessed Gospel is far more excellent, more glorious, and more filled with the rays of divine wisdom and goodness, than the whole creation and the just comprehension of it, if attainable, can contain or afford. Without the knowledge hereof, the mind of man, however priding itself in other inventions and discoveries, is wrapped up in darkness and confusion."
