Picture of Grace

I painted this during an Easter Musical service at Woodmont Baptist Church in Florence, AL. I created the collage from the image that God gave me when I first listened to the song. I painted it quickly and expressively, so it doesn't look totally realistic close up, but I feel that the performance worship aspect went well with the timing of the song. I just pray that the Lord uses me.

I love the male soloist's voice!  Who is it?

[sadnacman]

not sure.  I had to fix the sound on the video by adding in the sound from the track, so it was whoever sang it on the accompaniment, if you could find that out. Sorry I couldn't help!

Yes I was moved. Since the song was on a time crunch, I had to practice it to get it in the right time. But I have to say that even while practicing, God moved me. It's what you make of it, you know? Once you shift the focus from your "performance" to God's glory, it takes on whole new meaning when you hear the song.

Yes, people on here have many opinions, but some things are between you and God. If their faith doesn't allow them to do this, that's fine. But it's where God has me.

Really? His disciples Matthew and John never met him? Laughable.

And I can can worship God is singing, music, and dance, why could I not worship him also with art? Were the tapestries and curtains in the temple of God in Exodus blasphemous imagery? Were you not led by the spirit of God to worship him as you listened to this song of redemption?

But imagine if you felt that way and then realized that in all of the senselessness of this world, your life has purpose and meaning to the One who created it. I definitely don't want to fight anyone into being a Christian(as some make the mistake of doing), I just want to make sure that others know that God loves them and that they have meaning to Him.

God wants you to feel His love in you, but our sin(imperfections) keep us separated. We have to start the relationship, the reason Jesus died.

Well I do feel things ... I feel the air and I cant see it ... it's all these hipocresy and lack of ground of reality that amusses me .. but I am ot perfect and I make mistakes also and I shall not fight or try to change someone into my believings so .. I feel no god and I feel nothing divine in my heart by now .. I might change but not with all these ways to find our purpose in life ..

You started your statement with "God does not exist", but you ended it with "It's just wrong". I know that your view may be more popular right now, so I understand why you follow it. But I can't prove to you what's in my heart, and that is Christ. And that's how I know what he thinks.

God loves us all, even those of on here who disagree. But he gives us a standard in his Word for salvation. Without the Bible, there is no standard, so you can't say that anything is wrong.

[conxtantine]

God does not exist ... and the bible its just another book written by humans with many mistakes and contradictions ... awesome stories of fantasy and hope ... it makes me sad you think people are worshiping an image ... when you only worship yourself by saying " Jesus would not aprove this .. " How can you tell what Jesus would think .. ?? It's just wrong ..

We know Who the Holy Scriptures were inspired by and when they were written. Christians don't pray to a painting but the Spirit of Christ.

I do not worship a painting, I worship the actual Lord who saved me. I paint to give Him honor and bring attention to His saving power that the world might know they can turn to Him. Images aren't wrong unless they're worshiped.
