SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Standing on a hill above the Artist’s Drive road, we have a clear view across Death Valley of a bajada (compound alluvial fans) at the foot of the Panamint Mountains. Much less visibly, we are standing on another bajada at the base of the Black Mountains behind us.

I was fortunate enough to be among the first group of photographers to capture the interior to St Paul's Cathedral a little over two years ago, when St Paul's organised its first photography evening. Despite three hours inside the building, the architecture is so vast and so stunning that the time vanishes, and it wasn't until recently, during one of several of the Cathedral's late-night events, that I was finally able to visit and photograph the Dean's Staircase in the southwest tower.
Sir Christopher Wren's spiral staircase was completed in 1705 and is made from 88 steps of Portland stone, with each step set 150mm into the wall and carefully shaped to rest on the step directly beneath it. The staircase leads from the Cathedral floor to the Triforium, where the the dean and chapter's library is located, and although the steps leading down to the crypt were roped off, I was able to sneak down to the end of the staircase and capture a look-up of the 50-foot tower in which Wren's sweeping and geometrically flawless staircase ascends.
This image is a blend of eight exposures, combined in Photoshop using luminosity masks to control the highlights and to bring out the detail in the shadows. In the end I still opted for a darker finish towards the end of the staircase, as I felt this added to the moody tone I was aiming for, as well as allowing me to emphasise some of the lovely early-evening light as the sun was going down. The main challenge was the bright light coming through the window on the immediate left. I was able to rein much of this in with highlights from darker exposures, but the light was also leaking into the midtones along the window's grate and edges, and creating a small amount of lens flare along the steps directly below the window. To overcome this, I had to refine a luminosity mask and blend in light from my darkest exposure (which was -4 stops), and then incorporate the grate from the second-to-darkest exposure and the steps from my third-to-darkest exposure, using radial gradient masks to ensure each of these exposures would seamlessly combine with the surrounding walls and steps for a balanced finish.
The other challenge was how much of the building's texture to retain. While the Cathedral floor is one of the most pristine interiors I've ever photographed, the walls surrounding the Dean's Staircase have a wonderfully gritty and high-contrast texture. I very much wanted to keep as much of this original detail as possible, but felt it would distract from the pattern of the staircase and the drama of the warm light falling against the walls. To tone this down, I isolated the walls using the Pen Tool and used Nik's Silver Efex Pro to gently lower their midtone and shadow structure. Inside Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I then applied the Pro Contrast filter to the steps to emphasise the light along their edges, as well as small amounts of the Glamour Glow and Sunlight filters to play up the soft, dreamy light streaming through the windows.
The final editing adjustments were minor clean-up for cracks and imperfections at the end of the staircase, brightening of the ceiling, and lastly three low-opacity Colour Lookups set to Soft Light and using the Foggy Night preset targeted to the Shadows, Candlelight for the Midtones, and Edgy Amber for the Highlights. This helped to bring out the warmth of the sunlight throughout the tower and a cold, muted finish in the shadows. While the workflow was extensive, the end result hopefully conveys the elegance and simplicity of the architecture and the drama of the fading evening light, which made this staircase an absolute joy to photograph.

Midnight Ascend
She stands in the alley, poised and free,
A vision wrapped in mystery.
The city hums a gentle tune,
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon.
Sparkles dance upon her skin,
A quiet strength that glows within.
Silver gleams where light embraces,
A soul untamed, no need for traces.
The stairs ahead may lead to air,
Yet she climbs without a care.
For every path, though yet unknown,
Is hers to take, is hers alone.
The night is vast, the world is wide,
But she moves forth with fearless pride.
A dreamer’s fire, a heart so bright,
Glowing softly in the night.
