HOW GOD PROMPTED
THIS BIBLE-ART SERIES

"The Bible comes alive so much more with all the
illustrations, paintings, sculptures and stained glass windows.
Through them the stories are crystallized in our minds."


”Reading the Bible, we meditate, we think deeply about faith and beliefs, we gain insights and, thanks to all these great artists, these paintings become visual teachings and a powerful companion to the Bible.”

Happy Sunday Dan, and greetings to all!
Wonderful posting, and thank you Dan, for a crucial lesson on pride, to each of us.

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

God can save anyone, Leon, even blockheads like me.

As far as I know, Daniel Chapter 4 is the only book in the Bible written by a Gentile and not a Jew.

Daniel is a fascinating book.

Nebuchadnezzar was apparently one of the most ruthless and violent kings ever who had such a temper that he would just kill people because he was so angry.

Yet here was a wicked king with whom God went through all the trouble to get him saved and let him write the only book in the Bible by a Gentile. Amazing.

Oh the great love and mercy of our God. His ways are past finding out.

Nebuchadnezzar repented. His son, Belshazzar wasn’t so fortunate.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou, a very blessed Lord’s Day to you.

And Also to You.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Nebuchadnezzar repented. His son, Belshazzar wasn’t so fortunate.

As we shall see, vividly, tomorrow.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Many thanks.

#5 by Ted Larson is wonderful. The colors, the canopy of the tree...

#14, a beautifully executed engraved illustration by Charles Horne, late 19th c.

[Hebrews 11:6]

All of Larson’s works uniquely seem to present a vividness of light which I find very appealing. Don’t know how he achieves it.

A wonderful Sunday to you, Dan, and to all!
Thanks for posting this today, our leaders, and those in power all over the world should take heed to this lesson.

[etabeta]

Digital art?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Pete. Leaders do need this message, but so do the rest of us, all of whom preside over their own domain.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, but how does that work?

[fidelis]

Happy Sunday to all. Thanks as always for this post.

I wish I could find the quote but someone once said something to the effect that a man who does not pray to God everyday is no better than a beast. In Ecclesiastes 3:17-18 we find:

“God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.” I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”

[Hebrews 11:6]

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1Thessalonians 5:16-18

[Allegra]

As always, I am blessed by these posts and so enjoyed yesterday’s and todays.

May I please be added to your ping list?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Allegra, I am pleased to have added you as a Pingee!

You may expect an average of five posts weekly, for that is as quickly as I can turn these out.

You first ping, God willing, will occur on the morrow, when we will be inspecting some strange sort of wall graffiti.
