An Interesting Project

Who would have thought that a mobile phone App would enhance a trip to the museum or gallery, and make experiencing Christian art richer and more meaningful?

That is precisely what this project aims to do. Not dealing specifically with each work of art, it instead offers the tools to interpret and better understand the work that is being viewed. It should be handy to have for everyone - expert, novice or simply a neutral gallery visitor.

The Alpha and the Omega

I am unashamedly thrilled when I hear a testimony like this one. It so powerfully attests to the awesome magnificence of God, as well as His infinite love and tenderness to woo, and win, each precious human being into an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Please view and listen with your heart. If you yearn for, and have not yet tasted the joy of this experience, don't put it off for another minute! He is as real as Kamal describes Him. No one else could have effected the transformation that you see here. No one but Jesus.



For those who view this and want to know more, his book should make an interesting read.

It's our time.

I create because it is part of my vision, which I believe artists are given by God. The Church has denied the value of visions of its painters and sculptors

"For the Son of Man Is Come to Seek and to Save That Which Was Lost", acrylic painting

My inspiration for this piece was from a recent bible study on God's grace. I was like the sheep: completely ruined and separated from God by my sin.

May you have a blessed Christmas!

Words are inadequate to fully express my gratitude for what happened when God took the form of a helpless baby and stepped into sin-sodden humanity. It was a rescue mission beyond imagining. I know that I will spend my lifetime attempting to grasp it's phenomenal implications.

Jesus is the gift that can never be fully unwrapped.

Just when I think, "Ah! Now I understand!", the Bible will unravel some new aspect about his redemptive work that I had not even considered. So yes, a babe was born, in humble circumstances, but what that means to each of us, is truly what is mind boggling.

My prayer for all the visitors to this site - those who have written to me and those who choose to remain silent - is that you will fully grasp the extent of His love and mercy, which "extends to those who fear (reverence) Him, from generation to generation." For "He has performed mighty deeds with His arm". Luke 1: 50, 51

No other response is appropriate, but overflowing praise, for by His coming, He has "filled the hungry with good things." Luke 1:53

I wish each of you, and your loved ones, a very blessed Christmas.

May you too be filled to overflowing!
