"Psalm 50:1" - "The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting."

This short came to life as I planned my photos for our "Project 365 - a photo a day" during Easter. I decided to take the photos and use them to share about my faith in Jesus. Hebrews 9:14 shed a new light on the death of Jesus this year for me.
If you aren’t following Jason aka “dub” over at Dubtastic.com, then you need to! His blog has a wealth of great information on design, photography, creativity and the like. The thing I love about dub is he shares so much with the rest of as he develops his skillz. Thanks bro!
Check out dub’s HowTo on creating your own, homemade lightbox. I’ll be making one of these for sure!
Every time I hear this song by Nickel Creek it reminds me of how true it is for many people, especially our young people. Even with Reformed theology gaining ground with the younger generations of believers, I still see and hear many who’s testimony about Jesus in their life echoes the lyrics in this song.
Nickel Creek’s “Doubting Thomas”
What will be left when I’ve drawn my last breath,
Besides the folks I’ve met and the folks who know me,
Will I discover a soul saving love,
Or just the dirt above and below me,I’m a doubting thomas,
I took a promise,
But I do not feel safe,
Oh me of little faith,Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face,
Then I beg to be spared ’cause I’m a coward,
If there’s a master of death I’ll bet he’s holding his breath,
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power,I’m a doubting thomas,
I can’t keep my promises,
‘Cause i don’t know what’s safe,
oh me of little faithCan I be used to help others find truth,
When I’m scared I’ll find proof that its a lie,
Can I be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
That prove I’m not ready to die,Please give me time to decipher the signs,
Please forgive me for time that I’ve wasted,I’m a doubting thomas,
I’ll take your promise,
Though I know nothin’s safe,
Oh me of little faith
Its so crucial that we know what we believe based on the truths of God’s Word, the Bible alone. Which paints a picture of absolute faith in Christ and his work on the cross. My heart pains when I hear and see people buying into so much false doctrine or even more destructive at times, shady doctrine that leaves people utterly confused and lacking faith.
For this reason, movements, to name a few, The Resurgence, Desiring God, Monergism, White Horse Inn, and our very own, St. Louis FamilyCamp are pivotal in spreading the Gospel truth to a people saturated in opinion and feeling. May God continue to bless these essential voices for His glory and purpose to a dying world.

In his newest book, Christless Christianity, Michael Horton argues that a semi-pelagian understanding of the gospel plagues the American church. Is it fair, however, to lay our rampant nominalism at the feet of Pelagius? After all, most so-called “semi-pelagian” churches are neither aware of nor lay claim to Pelagian doctrine (heresy). Perhaps it is overreaching to frame the Christless Christianity of America with a 6th-century theology? Regardless, Horton has placed his finger on the near lifeless pulse of the American gospel.
Its official. I have agreed to embark on a 365 photo a day project with 3 other photographers at work. Now they do not have to be self portraits so at least this gets me off the hook! Let me know if there are others out there willing to take on this challenge as well!
Here’s those that have agreed to take this challenge on as well, and I will hold them accountable!:
Jacob White
David Volz
Ellen Baker
My hope is this makes me a better photographer, not a frustrated one…
This is a message that every man should listen to, a reminder to what characteristics men of God should possess.
