God is not only the embodiment of Love but also the embodiment of Justice, Justice and Love are interlinked together. So whatever harm and suffering we do to any being a similar suffering and harm we have to endure as a lesson of repentance.

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

 

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

 

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

I have always loved music and songs, it was my first love in life, and it will be my last love among others, like those closest to my heart.

 

My inspiration to capture pictures comes from this first love of mine, "music".

Sometimes just instrumental music, but most times there are lyrics to amplify the feeling and mood or message I am trying to convey. Whether it's landscape pictures, or as of recently, I've also started experimenting more and more with avatar pictures, most of my captures are inspired by the music I listen to, and that I love so much, so that being said, my pictures doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me at all.

While taking this snap a car stopped and the driver asked for directions. He was actually driving away from his desired destination! He was very glad he'd stopped to check if he was on the right road. Making a U-turn, he headed off in the opposite direction.

 

There's a word in the Bible that essentially means to make a U-turn. That word is "repentance", which is simply a turning from sin and a turning to God. It requires an acknowledgement that our sin is not just a problem for us, but it is an offence against Him.

 

Someone once noted that in order to go to hell, we just need to keep doing what we're doing. We simply need to stay on the road we're on. The problem is, that road will take us to hell and hell is not somewhere we really want to reach. In order to avoid it, we need to make a U-turn.

 

God... now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world...

(Acts 17:30-31)

 

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

(Mark 1:15)

Aerial scenic view of Farsh Elias basin from above Moses Mountain 'Jebel Musa'. Showing the orchard and cypress trees of the mountain basin of Farsh Elias in the foreground.

At the edge of the basin is a relatively large church, known as the Church of Elijah. According to traditions, Moses and Elijah probably visited the same place where they had a vision.

 

The mountains of Sinai surrounding Saint Catherine are packed with many religious history and symbolism.

 

Shot before the beginning of the 3,000 steps of the Stairway of Repentance that lead down to St. Catherine's Monastery. It is also below the 750 final steps to the summit.

 

I'll have a few final sunset shots from Ross tomorrow, but this one marks the end of our current exploration into the origins of the Ross Bridge and its astounding art. I hope that I have convinced you these carvings are NOT the work of a madman who made bizarre grotesques as mere decoration.

 

I realise that is the way most people have seen the Ross Bridge art, if they have even bothered to look at the bridge too closely. We all know how often the tourist experience is one viewed through the lens of a few selfies. Very often we are not actually "present" when in tourist mode. That's a tragedy in my view. I dare say quite a few locals still scratch their heads about the meaning of the bridge too.

 

But this work is far from meaningless. I hope I have shown that. But more than this, it is a call to recognise that no matter how dark our history may have been at times, the chance for redemption and renewal is there.

 

But, and this is a very important "but" that the Prophet Daniel from Ross wanted us to hear: We cannot renew ourselves as children of the light until we face our deeds as children of the darkness. There is no forgiveness without repentance if I can put it in distinctly Christian terms.

 

Daniel Herbert did not believe in cheap grace. His freedom was bought with a heavy price, but in the end he died a free man, a man whose conscience was clear.

 

"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" - Matthew 25:23.

“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait on time.”

I'm not a religious person, but as someone that grew up to be a bad Catholic this is where my mind went.

 

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. weekend everyone!

A tribute to my mother who just passed away...

 

And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship And she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him, and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)." Al-Ahqaf:15.

Luke 3:3 “And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.”

HBWE!

We often hear the “Savior” characteristics of God stressed – His love, mercy, goodness and so on – but the matter of His lordship is absent. The distortion is particularly clear in evangelism. In modern practice the call to repentance is usually called an “invitation,” which one can obviously accept or refuse. It is offered politely. Seldom do we hear presented God’s sovereign demand to repent or His demand for total submission to the authority of His appointed king, Christ Jesus. - Alistar Begg

Almost shameless Photoshop double for today folks.

 

After a tidy up at home today I found a softbox kindly gifted to me by Chris T.

 

Cheers mate :)

 

I decided to put it to use and have a practice with the lights. A process made much simpler now due to having a zoom lens and a flippy screen.

Whilst the headshot was ok, I wanted to add another layer so I took the misty tree shot used for Riley's double. One in normal orientation and one flipped to form a zigzag pattern providing the dead space in the middle where I plonked my head.

 

I'm off to self flagellate with some birch twigs as repentance for using potatoshop.

 

Happy days.

Matthew 3:11

New International Version

 

11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

"Unstoppable"

You're never gonna stop me

I'm the nightmare you've been dreaming of

Now the day is approaching

Gonna show you what I'm made of

This is just the beginning

Your anxiety is justified

Let me tell you something

There's nowhere left for you to hide

Justice will be mine

You can be certain

That sound of your heartbeat

Like a time bomb slowly ticking down

You won't see me coming

I can end your life without a sound

Hear me now

It's unavoidable

I fulfill my vow

There's no escape

I am unstoppable

(I am unstoppable)

There can be no penance

For the parasite that you've become

There is no repentance

This judgment can't be undone

There will be no mercy

No lenience while I'm alive

Vengeance is coming

Believe it now, you won't survive

Justice will be mine

You can be certain

That sound of your heartbeat

Like a time bomb slowly ticking down

You won't see me coming

I can end your life without a sound

Hear me now

It's unavoidable

I fulfill my vow

I am unstoppable

Don't bother running

It's over this time

You're going to pay now

For all you have taken

Hear me now

There's no escape

I am unstoppable

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am

I am unstoppable

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am

I am unstoppable

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am

I am unstoppable

Hear me now

It's unavoidable

I fulfill my vow

I am unstoppable

Don't bother running

It's over this time

You're going to pay now

For all you have taken

Hear me now

There's no escape

I am unstoppable

I am unstoppable

You're never gonna stop me)

Tour de France J7 – Vallée de la Marne - Champagne

Missbrauch - Kritik in Kunst am Kölner Dom Mit seiner neuen Installation von 333 Kinderfiguren vor dem Kölner Dom macht der Künstler Dennis Josef Meseg auf die Missbrauchsopfer der katholischen Kirche aufmerksam.

Aufgestellt hat sie der Künstler Dennis Josef Meseg. Mit der Installation "Shattered Souls… in a Sea of Silence" möchte er auf die zahlreichen Missbrauchsvorwürfe gegen die katholische Kirche hinweisen.

Die Figuren symbolisieren den stillen Ruf missbrauchter Kinder nach Gerechtigkeit: "Durch meine Installation sollen sich sowohl die Missbrauchsopfer, als auch die Täter gesehen fühlen", sagt Künstler Meseg dem WDR.

Jede einzelne Schaufensterpuppe ist mit farbigem Flatterband umwickelt. Die Farbe Weiß soll für die Unschuld der Kinder stehen. Purpur ist in der Katholischen Kirche die Farbe für Buße und ReueAbuse - Criticism in Art at the Cologne Cathedral With his new installation of 333 children figures in front of the Cologne Cathedral, the artist Dennis Josef Meseg draws attention to the abuse victims of the Catholic Church.

The artist Dennis Josef Meseg set them up. With the installation "Shattered Souls... in a Sea of ​​Silence" he wants to draw attention to the numerous allegations of abuse against the Catholic Church.

The figures symbolize abused children's silent call for justice: "My installation should make both the victims of abuse and the perpetrators feel seen," artist Meseg tells WDR.

Each individual mannequin is wrapped in colored ribbon. The color white is said to represent the innocence of children. Purple is the color of repentance and contrition in the Catholic Church.

South of the village Osterwick, on the way to Coesfeld, lies in the peasantry Höven castle Varlar. Since the 11th Century, the existence of this plant as the main courtyard is documented, as the owner, a noblewoman named Reimod, made a church foundation as the foundation stone for a future parish of Varlar. However, the founding of the parish was not carried out, and barely 100 years later, the counts of Cappenberg, probably relatives of the founder Reimod, were based in the main courtyard.

The Cappenberger came from a wealthy and influential Earl family, which had close family ties to the most respected Imperial House.

 

When they supported the struggle of insurgent Saxons under Duke Lothar of Supplinburg against Emperor Henry V and played a major role in the siege and plundering of the city of Münster, either repentance or fear of the imperial ban should have caused the counts, most of them Ownership in Westphalia to the founder of the Order of Premontre, Norbert of Genep, and renounce the secular life.

From Wednesday the time of Lent

 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar, directly following Shrove Tuesday.

According to the canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by Satan. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting or abstinence.

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a celebration and reminder of human mortality, and as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered from the burning of the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday.

This is inspired by the Holy week ritual back in my home country when some people would go as far as being crucified on the cross as repentance for their sins.

The basis of the title though will require one's detail observation of this piece ;)

In downtown Paprihaven, the girls are headed to Duper's Super as preparations for Thanksgiving at the Simmons continue.

 

Buckley: Oh, let's stop at Reigny Daze!

 

Tracy: We don't have time, Buckley! Thanksgiving is toMORow! Hello? This is our third trip to Dupers!

 

Buckley: Hey, it wasn't my idea to add lemon meringue pie to the list.

 

Briar: Oh, look, Creepers Sneakers is having a big Thanksgiving sale!

 

Tracy: Lemon meringue is SO good!

 

Buckley: HAHAAHA!!

 

Tracy: What's so funny??

 

Buckley: On Paprichat, Erin said some action guy's been hitting on Trajetta... and she's been really dressing up now!

 

Tracy: Those girls always dress up.* And... I've never been sure about Fashions dating Actions.**

 

Briar: I think RC's dad is dating a Fashion.***

 

Tracy: Mr. Cooper was married to an Fashion. But she died in the war.

 

Briar: Oh, that's sad.

 

Buckley: RC looks very Action.

 

Briar: *giggles* RC is totally action! There's a looooot of Fashions waiting out his on/off with Shasta.

 

Tracy: RC definitely takes after his dad, but Cloe and Cici are definitely Fashions.

 

Buckley: Some big, hunky Action starts giving me attention, I'm all for that! I'm like, "WHUT UUUUP!"

 

Briar: HAHA!

 

Tracy: You don't think that's weird? I mean, crossing that boundary with Actions?

 

Buckley: I guess it's weird coz you don't have many nexus like Paprihaven or Coopers Town where they coexist. But there's nothing wrong with it, right?

 

Briar: Yeah, when we were watching Cooperstown on TV, wasn't that really good lookin action dating a fashion? What was his name? 'Hawk Fang'?

 

Buckley: Hawk Fang??

 

Tracy: Are you talking about Pierce Falcon and Vinona??****

 

Buckley: HAWK FANG!! GWAAHAHAA!

 

Briar: *giggles*

 

Buckley: Was Vinona a fashion??

 

Tracy: Totally. Slim, non-gripping hands. Big anime eyes.

 

Buckley: That's right...

 

Briar: Well, like Buck said, it's rare just because of circumstances, but there can't be anything wrong with it. The Bible says somewhere that in Jesus, there's no difference.

 

Tracy: True that. Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." It just warns not to be unequally yoked.

 

Buckley: I dunno how many actions you're gonna find that read the Bible.

 

Briar: Cam and RC do! Pastor Calvin is an action.

 

Tracy: Well, whether this question, or anything else, God always has the answer in His Word.

 

Briar: Yep! And we can always ask Him! James 1:5 , "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. "

 

Buckley: HAAAHAHA!!

 

Tracy: What now??

 

Buckley: Erin posted a pic of Trajetta with a meme, 'Ready for ACTION!'

 

Briar: HAHAHA!!

 

Tracy: Oh, dear.

Subjectivity and the Will of God

 

If you rely on internal, subjective messages and promptings from the Lord, what prevents you from imagining the input you want from Him? Moreover, what reliable, objective mechanism exists to keep you from misinterpreting your own imagination as divine instruction?

 

Many good souls and even some heroes of our faith fall into that same error, mistaking imagination for revelation. Many—perhaps most—Christians believe God uses subjective promptings to guide believers in making major decisions. But, a thorough search of church history would undoubtedly confirm that most believers who lean heavily on immediate “revelations” or subjective impressions ostensibly from God end up embarrassed, confused, disappointed, and frustrated.

 

So how are we supposed to determine the divine will? Virtually every Christian grapples with the question of how to know God’s will in any individual instance. We particularly struggle when faced with the major decisions of adolescence—what occupation or profession we will pursue, whom we will marry, whether and where we will go to college, and so on. Most of us fear that wrong decisions at these points will result in a lifetime of disaster.

 

Unfortunately, many of the books and pamphlets on discerning God’s will are filled with mystical mumbo-jumbo about seeking a sense of peace, listening for a divine “call,” putting out a “fleece,” and other subjective signposts pointing the way to God’s will. That kind of “discernment” is not at all what Scripture calls for. If we examine everything the Bible has to say about knowing God’s will, what we discover is that everywhere Scripture expressly mentions the subject, it sets forth objective guidelines. If we put those guidelines together, we get a fairly comprehensive picture of the will of God for every Christian. We can summarize them like this:

 

It is God’s will that we be saved. “The Lord is . . . not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). “God our Savior . . . desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3–4).

It is God’s will that we be Spirit-filled. “Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. . . . Be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:17–18).

It is God’s will that we be sanctified. “For this is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Thessalonians 4:3).

It is God’s will that we be submissive. “Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men” (1 Peter 2:13–15).

It is God’s will that we suffer. “Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right” (1 Peter 4:19). “For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake” (Philippians 1:29). “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12).

If all those objective aspects of God’s will are realities in your life, you needn’t fret over the other decisions you must make. As long as the options you face do not involve issues directly forbidden or commanded in Scripture, you are free to do whatever you choose.

 

Whatever you choose? Yes, within the limits expressly set forth in God’s Word. If those five objective principles are consistently true in your life—if you are saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering for righteousness’ sake—you are completely free to choose whatever you desire.

 

In fact, God providentially governs your choice by molding your desires. Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” That doesn’t mean merely that He grants the desires of your heart; it suggests that He puts the desires there. So even when we choose freely, His sovereign providence guides the free choices we make! What confidence that should give us as we live our lives before God!

 

Haddon Robinson wrote: “When we lift our inner impressions to the level of divine revelation, we are flirting with divination.” In other words, those who treat subjective impressions as revelatory prophecy are actually practicing a form of fortune-telling. Those willing to heed inner voices and mental impressions may be listening to the lies of a deceitful heart, the fantasies of an overactive imagination, or even the voice of a demon. Once objective criteria are cast aside, there is no way to know the difference between truth and falsehood. Those who follow subjective impressions are by definition undiscerning. Mysticism and discernment simply do not mix.

...purely art!

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5

Psalms 139:13-17.

 

12 gates into the New Jerusalem

Know your tribe--Ezekiel 47:21-23) Rev 21)

Keeping Sabbath is the start, to be fed with the heritage of Jacob thy father-Isaiah 58:13,14 Remember Ephraim would become a multitude of nations-Goyim Gentiles Gen 48:19 Abraham would become the father of many nations, the seed of Abraham by faith in Yeshua.

The Sabbath day was never lost by Judah, after the 70years in Babylon, the exact dates-days months of the return(actions) are given in Nehemiah Ezra. Sabbath is from Friday evening to Saturday evening. The Sabbath is kept in the coming kingdom- Isaiah 66:23. Yeshua is Lord of the Sabbath. Gen 20:8-11) Don't let anybody judge you in keeping Sabbath, new moon etc. Colossians 2:16) The sabbath is perpetual from Genesis to the coming kingdom of Yeshua, the law also will go forth from Jerusalem. Feast of Tabernacles in the coming kingdom & passover- Feast of unleavened bread will all be observed/kept. Same as dietary laws Leviticus 11;7 & Isaiah 66:17 are all required to be kept when Yeshua returns.

 

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. Proverbs 6:16,17

 

Abortion- shedding innocent blood, brings God's judgment.

Ireland as many of the world's countries today has innocent blood on it's hands. The pinnacle of God's creation on earth, man, is violently ripped apart in the womb by man's hands, a place where God forms a person created in His own image. Galatians 1:15,16

Ecclesiastes 12:14 ''For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Numbers 35:33'' So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Shed innocent blood has a voice before God-Genesis 4:10

 

Ezekiel 14:13 ''“Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:”

 

A call to repentance, mercy rejoices over judgment

 

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

  

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Psalm 27:8)

  

Psalm 83 'Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

 

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

 

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

 

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

 

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

 

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

 

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

 

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

 

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

 

10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

 

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

 

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

 

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

 

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

 

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

 

16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.

 

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

 

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is YHVH, art the most high over all the earth.'

Gen 12:3 Isaiah 41:8)

Surrealist fantasy for a collage class I'm taking. "Pure Land" Buddhism is a Japanese sect that promises salvation for repentance. The sign is clear, but written in a language no one understands.

 

I should add that I don't have anything against Buddhists. This is just a collection of images that grab me in various ways. The location and camera information apply to only one of the images. The collage includes 18 images from 4 cities and 2 cameras.
