10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
✨Just a little project I’m working on for the children’s ministry at the church ✨
I don’t know if it’s impressive that I have kept at this for *drum roll* 9 hrs… I’m new to this whole digital art thing… is this normal time? Just curious. I have a friend wanting me to another little project too! Excited but still not too sure how it all works.
The helmet of salvation stands as a profound gift, awaiting our open embrace. To truly make it ours, we must welcome it with faith. This powerful act not only adorns our minds but shields them from the assaults of the enemy, directing our focus towards God. Let us collectively cultivate the faith required to secure this invaluable protection, expressing gratitude for the ultimate gift—salvation, bestowed upon us by God's grace.
God is not indifferent to wrong, and God knows you and I cannot rescue ourselves.

God is not indifferent to wrong, and God knows you and I cannot rescue ourselves.
The Armor of God
“He saw that there was no one and was appalled that there was no one to intervene,so his own arm brought him victory, and his righteousness upheld him.”
Isaiah 59:16 (NRSVUE)
God will redeem those who turn to the Lord, and God will give recompense to those who have made themselves enemies…
I have to admit that I’m a fan of Star Trek and most of its children and grandchildren. One consistent thing across all variants of the show is that as soon as any sort of bad guy started attacking the Enterprise (or other starship), the first thing Captain Kirk (or other captain) would do is order, “Raise shields.” One thing I always wondered, though, is why they would wait until they were under…

“I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me.” A line in a song by Red. I have said that many times. I don’t like it when I lose self-control, and someone gets hurt. I don’t mean it to happen, and I definitely don’t want it to happen, but it does sometimes.
The darkest part of me is big, loud, mean, and ugly. It violates the scripture of Eph. 4:29. (Do not let unwholesome…
Mercury and the Dishonest Woodsman by Salvator Rosa
The subject of Rosa’s painting – the story of the honest woodsman – is taken from Aesop’s Fables, a collection of ancient Greek tales with moral lessons. In the story, the god Mercury takes pity on a woodsman who has accidentally dropped his axe into a river. He retrieves two axes from the water, one gold and one silver; the woodsman claims neither as his own and, as a reward for his honesty, Mercury gives him both, along with the original axe. On hearing this a dishonest woodsman threw his own tool in the river and pretended that it was made of precious metal. Rosa’s painting shows Mercury in his winged helmet emerging from the water holding a golden axe, and the woodsman dashing forwards to claim it. The god, disgusted by the man’s dishonesty, denied him the axe.
