[Alison, that prayer is so informative. Thank you!]
So I've been driving around listening again to Mike Bullmore tell me about the functional centrality of the gospel. and I think this whole art show thing is really helping me to do this.
i mean, i've got these images in my head that i'd like to paint...a dead guy foreshortened, informed by Eph. 2 that we were DEAD in our tresspasses & sins. But God, rich in mercy...made us ALIVE...etc. Its pretty simple, and we've all heard it plenty. but it's deep, pondering that I was DEAD. Dead. gone, vacant, lack of life.
And this has informed my proud thoughts this week, as I've been trying to talk to myself, "stupid, don't think so highly of yourself, you were DEAD until God moved. you bring nothing to the party but DEATH. So give God all credit for anything good in your posession."
So yes, since we're seeping ourselves in these thoughts of what regeneration is and the many images that may portray new life, let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us apply these truths to our day to day temptations and allow the truth to operate and conform us.
How are these images going to inform the days of our Spring?
