ARTICLES #Faith Expressions

The article contains faith expression artworks that my Little Angel Gabby made during her preschool years. That was more than a decade ago.

The article contains faith expression artworks about the cross of Christ based on Galatians 6:14. In the NIVUK Bible, the verse is translated in this manner: “May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” In the KJV Bible, the verse is translated in this way: “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”

The article contains twenty-five quotes about faith, a term which is defined by the author of Book of Hebrews as “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” The sources of faith quotes are the following: Alex Moises, author of the Book of Hebrews, Carrie Lowrance, Dwight Eisenhower, Gordon B. Hinckley, Grace Theological Seminary, Jesus, John Hagee, King David, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Mike Pompeo, Patrick Henry, St. James, St. Paul and Steve Scalise.

The article provides a list of quotes about prayer and praying. To pray is quite important in the lives of Christians. To quote Mike Pompeo, he said: “We should pray. That’s the first of all things.” St. Paul, Mahatma Gandhi, John Hagee, Max Lucado and St. Teresa of Avila tell us the essentiality of prayer and praying and Steve Scalise gives an account of the power of prayer during a tragic moment in his life.

The article contains quotes from Alex Moises, Mike Pompeo and Steve Scalise. The topics of the quotes are the following: Bible, Christmas, education and learning, faith, freedom of conscience, Jesus Christ, love, and prayer and praying.

The article deals with the story about Mary, Martha and Jesus that is found in Luke 10:38-42.

The article contains quotes by St. Thomas Aquinas, an Italian Dominican priest born during the Medieval era and a Doctor of the Church. He is best known for the work entitled, “Summa Theologica,” or “Summa Theologiae,” which serves as basis for many teachings of the Catholic Church as well as other Christian Churches and denominations.

The article contains faith expression artworks and Gospel verses about the Holy Trinity. According to Catholic and Christian faith, there are three persons in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God the Father is the invisible God; God the Son is Jesus Christ, the incarnation of the invisible God – Jesus assumed the state of human beings in order to save mankind from sin and destruction; and God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of love and truth that flows from the Father and the Son. This is the mystery of the Holy Trinity, and it is essential and central to Catholic and Christian faith.

The article contains Bible verses about the birth of Jesus Christ.

The article contains Christmas and Jesus quotes from many individuals: Angel Gabriel, Steve Scalise, Alex Moises, James Allan Francis, Little Angel Gabby, Mike Pompeo, Queen Elizabeth II, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles Dickens, Agnes M. Pharo, Winston Churchill, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ronald Reagan. There are more Christmas and Jesus quotes from many other different individuals.

The article contains a second set of faith expression artworks about God based on Old Testament verses of the Bible. Each Bible verse or group of Bible verses is paired with a faith expression artwork taken from the artist’s Blue Faith collection. An exception is a faith expression artwork about “YAHWEH,” which is based on many Old Testament verses and which is not paired with a particular Bible verse. The Bible verses are Genesis 1:1-2, Exodus 17:15, Psalms 19:14, Psalms 46:10, Psalms 100:5, Psalms 110:4, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 11:10, Isaiah 52:13-15 and Isaiah 54:5.

The article provides faith expression artworks based on two gospel verses about the greatest commandment of God, namely: Mark 12:30 and Matthew 22:37. The faith expression artworks are placed under the “Expression Arts for God’s Sake” classification, and the Bible used as reference is the KJV Bible.
