The picture has meaning in that it is an ever changing painting in live by the Creator and were it not for GOD's faithfulness to His own I would find unbearable loneliness in this world.
I pray you find the fellowship in Him and in His people that soothes the longings of the human heart for the intimacy with one another built in by GOD, who likewise longs for our fellowship.

WHERE IS THE SECURITY?

Man has sought security in insurances, armies, weapons, walls, laws, sea walls, police, and a multitude of other ways; yet security remains illusive: Hurricanes, wars, stock market crashes, economic collapses, governments, disease, and death ALL & more have proven life insecure. SO WHERE DO WE FIND IT?

LOOK ONTO JESUS

"LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH."

DELACROIX HOPE

Once a Presbyterian church this stain glass work in Delacroix Hope Baptist Church presents to the viewer the agape love of GOD in sacrificing His only Son for the atonement and redemption of all who would believe. In deed we are born in sin. Sin meaning in direct opposition to the ways and person of our Creator. JESUS is our only certain hope we can find on earth.

MEMORIAL

This cross is a memorial for those who died in St Bernard parish at the ruthless hands of Katrina in 2005. But for the cross of CHRIST GOD'S grace would escape my heart and parish I would.
But even from day to day I find the need for His graciousness - His mercy.
No new revelation here but certainly as profound as it gets. What does the cross mean to you? Will you trust the Savior's work and sacrifice on your behalf?

I Am NOTHING-Think not to highly of oneself

If CHRIST does not immerse me in His cleansing blood I am and will continue to be dirty. For without Him I am nothing and with Him I am only what He in graciousness and mercy makes of me; Yes I said mercy for my best is still far short of His love and holiness, and therefore I require His merciful and gracious love or I will remain nothing. GOD be merciful to me a sinner.
The world would not stop turning if this cog fell off -
I am but a spoke amongst many
which if broken
the wheel would continue to roll down the path of life;
ought I think highly of myself?
BY THE SAME TOKEN
I OUGHT NOT NEGATE THE MARVELOUS CREATIVE WORK OF GOD
WHO WHEN IT WAS FINISHED MOLDING THE CLAY
LOOKED AT WHAT HE HAD MADE
AND SAID, "IT IS GOOD".
AND SO WE ARE FOR WE ARE EXQUISITELY AND INTRICATELY MADE
BY HE WHO ONLY COULD
CREATE & ORCHESTRATE SUCH A COMPLEXITY AS THE HUMAN BEING.

ONE QUICK STATEMENT

The war of the believer is not aimed at conquering but at submitting.
I do not conquer my flesh, I live in His Spirit.
Huge difference!
