Worship King Christmas Gift

Worship Him!

Because of my collages different size I had to scale it and put a background color on the print version. If you want a different color let me know. If I were buying a print of it I would just cut/crop the excess of the background color to fit a unique frame! :thanks:

The wrapped canvas is a perfect fit (no cropping needed) and came out the best in my opinion! :)

Be Holy...Pursue what?

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 20, 2009, 6:21 AM


Noah Webster brought a great definition to holiness. I think it is good to look at holiness in both the person of God and as application to its pursuit by people; in light of His Sovereignty.

The Sovereignty of God and the pursuit of holiness by His people are a beautiful marriage. Here is holiness defined for both. Observe the notation that for man it is NOT perfection.....

HO'LINESS, n. [from holy.] The state of being holy; purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin; sanctity. Applied to the Supreme Being, holiness denotes perfect purity or integrity of moral character, one of his essential attributes.

Who is like thee, glorious in holiness? Ex.15.

1. Applied to human beings, holiness is purity of heart or dispositions; sanctified affections; piety; moral goodness, but not perfect.

I really can pursue holiness without being perfect....ssshhheww thats a relief! I believe the Word teaches this.

We have so many beautiful stories of people in the Bible who are considered faithful (Hebrews 11) and they were by no means perfect. Yet they were in the "pursuit" of holiness.

The "pursuit of holiness is a noble cause because it is actually the pursuit of God ...the Holy one! So when Jesus says "Be holy for I am holy" It makes me want to run to His embrace because He is calling me to the "pursuit" of Himself

So its not about personal perfection...its about the Perfect One!!!


Pursue God and you will be pursuing holiness.

I love God! I love my family! I love all kinds of art! I'm learning "how" to paint...never really tried before....so pray for me :pray:

I thought it good to do a page just for my paintings and photography so as to see if I can learn and improve :) Thanks for bearing with me!
Glory to God for His precious gift of sending His Son to be with us and to die for us! May art be a means of expressing our gratitude to such a wonderful God!!!
