  • oil glazes and mixed media on panel 12 x 12 inches framed in a floater frame In the center of this painting is an image of Durer's Dead Christ. He is roaring! To break curse calls for the thunder of his voice, his voice! Job 26. Under it is a construction diagram explaining how to "plum, to make straight or justify" a building. And above is a figure of the risen One who laid down his life and has taken it up again. 
    "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it up again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down on my own initiative. I have the authority to lay it down and I have the authority to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." John 10:17-18 The title is taken from Suzanne's Rhodes book by the same name.

    The antithetical war for truth continues but Revelation 12:7-10 tells us the outcome.
    "Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon, who is called Satan, and his angels fought back, but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven."

  • 12 x 12 inches oil and wax on panel (framed in a black floater frame) We live in the cities of this world and although we know we have "a city eternal in the heavens," God asks us to love our neighbors and "seek the peace of the city." We are to be involved in its daily well-being as stewards, people who know that the "govenment rests upon His shoulders" and Jesus is the true peace-maker.

  • oil and wax 12 x 12 inches in black floater frame The gift is so paradoxical. You must die to live; you must be captured in God's nets to be free. We cannot fathom the love of God before eternity to come to suffer and die to rescue those he came to save. The cross is the glory of God.
