Intensity Is All That Matters In Painting.

The Evil And Suffering In This World Are Greater Than Any Of Us Can Comprehend. But Evil And Suffering Are Not Ultimate. God Is. Satan, The Great Lover Of Evil And Suffering, Is Not Sovereign. God Is.

It Is Evil To Justify Killing (unborn Babies) By The Happy Outcome Of Eternity For The One Killed. This Same Justification Could Be Used To Justify Killing One-year Olds, Or Any Heaven-bound Believer For That Matter. The Bible Asks The Question: "shall We Sin That Grace May Abound?" (romans 6:1) And: "shall We Do Evil That Good May Come?" (romans 3:8). In Both Cases The Answer Is A Resounding No. It Is Presumption To Step Into God's Place And Try To Make The Assignments To Heaven Or To Hell. Our Duty Is To Obey God, Not To Play God.

People Don't Enjoy Salt. They Enjoy What Is Salted. We Are The Salt Of The Earth. We Do Not Exist For Ourselves.

We Can Be Content With Simplicity Because The Deepest Most Satisfying Delights God Gives Us Through Creation Are Free Gifts From Nature And From Loving Relationships With People. After Your Basic Needs Are Met, Accumulated Money Begins To Diminish Your Capacity For These Pleasures Rather Than Increase Them. Buying Things Contributes Absolutely Nothing To The Heart's Capacity For Joy.

All That Looks Like Reality To Us Is Dependent On God. There Is Creation And Creator, Nothing More. And Creation Gets All Its Meaning And Purpose From God.
