We Need You…to Vote!

January 6th, 2011 1 comment

Yesterday we asked our Facebook Friends to look at five selections from the Book of Psalms and tell us which one they most like to see on a piece of inspirational fine art. We’d like your thoughts, too!

Below are the verses in question. Which would be your first choice?

A) The Lord is my light and my salvation. Psalm 27:1

B) I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2

C) The Lord hears when I call to him. Psalm 4:3

D) By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me – a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm42:8

E) Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you. Psalm 55:22

Use the comments to let us know what you think. Thanks!

Too good not to share.
 
As we’re about to head into prime vacation season, maybe you’re looking for some new spots for you and your family to explore. Check out these ten interesting ideas from your fellow readers.

1. Roaring Fork, Tennessee – for less crowded views of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Your Favorite Scripture Verses…Part 2

As you’re probably aware, my photography is the basis for most of the wall art designs at The Christian Gift. Most of what you see on the site are landscape images, though I also do quite a bit of architectural work.

Upcoming shoots are mainly New Hampshire-based, though I’m trying to work in a few days around DC. In the mountains of the northeast, we’ve got lupine season coming up in June – that’s perennially on my calendar.

I have a short list of scripture verses in the back of my mind that I’d like to pair with imagery I capture with the camera. Sometimes these end up as pieces of inspirational art.

Last year about this time, I invieted you to chip in by submitting your favorite verses as well. The one mentioned most often, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” was the basis for a design created last summer. Read more…

Your Favorite Scripture Verses

June 5th, 2008 No comments

Thanks to all who submitted favorite Bible verses last month! As you’ll recall, we’re going to design our next piece of inspirational artwork around the verse most often mentioned by our Friends.

Wondering which excerpt from Scripture was most frequently cited?

It was Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That happens to be the New King James translation, which is the one we’ll use for the design. A great choice!

Some of the other excellent suggestions included:

In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 Read more…
