When Good Friday doesn’t seem so good

/
For most of my life, Good Friday primarily served as a heads-up for a nice candy-gorge. I glossed over what it really represented, anticipating instead the large egg-hunts with my cousins around my grandparents’ farm on Easter Sunday.

Stations At The Cross

/
These wood-crafted panels were done for Sacred Heart Church in Samford Village, Queensland, Australia to replace their aged and fading framed reproductions of the Traditional Stations of the Cross. Prayerfully painted on 1.2m tall hoop pine kneelers stripped from old church pews, these Scriptural Stations of the Cross are rich in symbolism.

What is the Mark of A Great Man?

/
Exactly a year ago, my country lost a remarkable man. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding prime minister, passed away at the age of 91 on 23 March, 2015, after battling severe pneumonia.

At The Cross

/
My inspiration behind this diagonal cross is from Rembrandt’s painting “Elevation of the Cross”. This scene depicts men stretching their body to lift up the unbearable weight of the cross, with the chief priest, teachers of the law and elders standing at the right sneering. On the left, the disciples are grieving. May this new unique perspective renew our appreciation of what Christ did for us. (Matthew 27:32) (John 19:17)

When Kelly Steinhaus visited Harvard Square to ask college students what they thought of Jesus, the answers were respectful of Him. One said He was “a person who took care of people.” Another said, “He sounds like a cool guy.” Others rejected Him outright: “He was just a guy. I don’t think He was the Savior.” And “I do not accept any faith system that says, ‘I am the only way to

ODB: Veins Of Gold

While visiting the charming Cotswold area of England, I purchased some bone china mugs as souvenirs. I used them carefully, but eventually one fell into the sink and shattered. I thought about that mug recently when I learned about the Japanese art of Kintsugi.Usually when something breaks we are happy to repair it enough to make it functional again. But several hundred years ago, a Japanese artis

ODB: Crowns Of Honor

The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are stored securely and protected within the Tower of London under 24-hour guard. Each year, millions visit the display area to “ooh and aah” over these ornate treasures. The Crown Jewels symbolize the power of the kingdom, as well as the prestige and position of those who use them.Part of the Crown Jewels are the crowns themselves. There are three differ

ODB: Victory Over Death!

An ancient painting I saw recently made a deep impression on me. Its title, Anastasis, means “resurrection,” and it depicts the triumph of Christ’s victory over death in a stunning way. The Lord Jesus, newly emerged from the tomb, is pulling Adam and Eve out of their coffins to eternal life. What is so amazing about this artwork is the way it shows how spiritual and physical death,
