“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no […]

    “If He should set His heart to it and gather to Himself His spirit and His breath, all flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust.” – Job 34:14-15   The Intimacy of Existence “IF He should set His heart to it….” With these words, Elihu (the one friend of

    “Jesus wept.” – John 11:35   God Ordains that He Should Weep. Consider the wonder of that statement. God – who is sovereign over all things and who does whatever He pleases in heaven and on earth (Ps.135:5-6) – freely ordains that He Himself should weep. And this is true not only of

    “I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and He will hear me. In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints.” – Psalm

“The Lord Himself will descend from heaven, with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet

  “…the King of Assyria [shall] lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot…And the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and to whom we fled for help to be delivered from

“Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died – more than that, who was raised – who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.” – Romans 8:34 If you’re reading these words, you – like me – are a sinner. Today, you – like me –

    [Christ Jesus], being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to

“And [Stephen] said, ‘Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him.” – Acts 7:56-58 How are Western

“[The angel] swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh

    “When the crowds were increasing, He began to say, ‘This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given…. The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.” – Isaiah 9:2 This verse highlights at least two beautiful aspects of God’s work to save fallen humans: 1) it is a gift, and 2) it is external to us

“I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above Him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:

    “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquities of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the

  “No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will worship Him.” – Revelation 22:3 In eternity, when the visible Jesus Christ sits on the throne of the universe and radiates the glory of God over all of creation, He will

John 20:19-20,”Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When He had said this He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.” The Resurrected Jesus Christ still has wounds in His hands. Even though His eternal body is healed

  Ephesians 2:13, “But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” The Bible teaches such staggering truths….There are passages – like this one – that should just cause us to wonder at the reality in which God has placed us….a reality in which

    For this final blog post dealing with the ministry of Full of Eyes itself, I want mention a few of the “special concerns” that I believe the Lord has given me for this work.   The Special Concerns of Full of Eyes Christocentric Our art will maintain a special focus on the person

The Foundation of Full of Eyes – IV   The Necessity of the Holy Spirit “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18
