REMEMBER
meditate and ponder what God has done

Trust
in His creative grace-filled renewal
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
DISCIPLE
listen and learn in community
"Start Children off in the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
Tell
share and witness His faithfulness
"We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children." Psalm 78:4-6
Visual Faith is about taking deep breath moments that allow us to capture God's rich grace in our daily lives. It brings margin to our busy lives.
Visual Faith is spending time in the Word with God. It is the nurturing of a deeply personal relationship.

What can YOU add to the VISUAL FAITH conversation? Won't you join us in this journey?
“Here’s the truth: It’s impossible to lack creativity while standing in the presence of the creator. The Lord has graced us with an intrinsic ability to create. To design beauty from nothing. To write, to draw, to build, to sing and to dance for something and someone bigger than ourselves…”
“The Lord always has a purpose for blessing us with gifts—and He wouldn’t be so clear about our creative prowess if He didn’t expect us to use it without abandon. Ephesians 2:10 says we were ‘created in Christ Jesus for good works.’ Attention, people of the free world, this does not mean to ignore your gifts, talents and innate creativity because you might be too afraid of what the world thinks of you.”
