Do Everything For the Glory of God

Sun Jan 11, 2009, 10:32 PM
  • Mood: Yearning
  • Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:31
So, I haven't updated in a while. I got chastised by God today, a few times. It's always in love.

I kept getting hit with passages of scripture about giving. And then the pastor's sermon today was about being a financial steward - not in a "give all your money to the church" sense, but as in recognizing the sovereignty of God, because all things belong TO him, and to give when, where, and how much, according to His command. This doesn't necessarily include one specific physical church building. It could be a missions trip, a charity, an individual in need, etc. Stewardship also includes all resources: time, talents like art, etc.

This falls in line with what Paul said... "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)


Artist Spotlight
:iconmayshing: I got hooked on her Edepth and 2Masters manga (which I have sitting next to me, actually). She tells compelling stories and it's easy to get attached to her characters. More than that, Mayshing herself has a wonderful personality.

I thought this was just pure awesome: [link]

-I want to leave something for the future, for this world, before I go; something they can hold onto, especially when time is hard.

It has been a long time indeed! I lose track of years, days, hours...

Glad you like my work :)

How has life been?
Woo, crazy, crazy. I've since graduated college, transferred states, and gotten a new job. Time has been flying...

Ah it's ok :) Well I started to do anime art at age 12... been taking art classes at my school ever since, including sketching, computer art, and Photoshop classes... I plan to get a degree in animation or become a mangaka someday if that's God's will :)

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians; who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door, and then, on with their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." -unknown
Be careful, hehe. :XD: I know someone who wanted to get a doctorate, but God basically told him, "It's Me or the degree." :XD: He's now teaching Bible study for new Christians.
