  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I put together this concept to give me a general idea of how I want to approach a bigger piece. it will be called Enduring Hope.

The cross gives life; Placed in the middle of cracked Earth, it enriches the soil. And from their, sprawling moss grows. A true symbol of enduring hope.

LOL it's a little 3 x 2 canvas. The cracked earth effect is a gesso technique. And the moss is sculpted clay.

I love your art, seriously consider making it into a cake, I think it would look fantastic as a cake!

The cross is the victory over sin and death and the glorious gospel is the only hope anyone has to be saved. The earth is prophecy is going to get worse and worse and the hope is the LORD returns in power and glory. He comes with the sword of His mouth and triumphs over the evil that has taken over and if you look at the earth it should be all the trees burned up and the seas dead when the LORD comes. Read Dan 7 Zech 14 and Rev 20. You image is good over a sea of humanity and like the story of Abraham;s bosom and Lazarus people are on one side of the cross or the other. The cross is salvation offered to all and the choice to which side you are on is everything. The image is cool but I think you can go deeper and make people think. e I cannot think of a single worship song that is about the wrath of the LAMB treading the winepress of the wrath of God. This is what is going on when Jesus returns to earth. In Isaiah 61 Jesus quoted the passage of the Spirit of the LORD being upon Him and proclaimed a mission and the acceptable day of the LORD. Jesus stopped right there mid sentence and this same passage is also Jesus mission which is the day of vengeance of our God. The earth is moving rapidly towards this day and the acceptable day of the LORD is ending and the day of vengeance is coming. Many get saved when this judgement comes and the same love and mercy the cross is still available but choosing then will probably cost you your life. If you think and pray about this I think your art would be more dramatic and illustrate the contrast between being under grace or wrath. As is I find it a little vanilla for me.
