This post contains both sad and good news.For those of you (perhaps that may be only one person but nevertheless...) who are not aware; I am no longer staying at home; I have gone to Bible College and am staying is Res there.Unfortunately this means that I cannot make regular posts anymore.So the bad news is; no more wallpapers.The good news is; I'm learning Greek!!! and I'm at Bible College (

A while ago I found a quote that I really liked, "But now, having seen Him which is invisible, I fear not what man can do unto me." by Anne Hutchinson. Recently (while listening to lectures by Curt Daniel) I discovered that Anne Hutchinson was actually a mystic weirdo which was sort of disappointing to me. However, over the past few months I have really become excited about presuppositional

Once again I've been overloaded and I have just returned from holiday so I will probably need to revert to my original plan of doing one image per fortnight especially with my studies picking up soon.I found this quote a while ago, I don't know anything about John Falconer and so this is by no means an endorsement (nor, though, is this statement a denouncement). Kent Hovind, talking about the

This image was inspired by another image that I saw online a while ago. I could, however, not make out all the words but I thought it was a pretty cool effect. So, here it is... Another wallpaper to remind us of the reformation and those important "sola" doctrines that the reformers rediscovered and that we need to treasure in an age of relativism and surrounded by the secular world that scoffs

Okay, this post is exceedingly late, it's also rather different to the others.While browsing the Monergism website... ahh... (listen to the Curt Daniel lectures if you have the chance and the bandwidth to do so...) I began to think about having a nice shirt with a cool quote or a picture of Spurgeon or something. Later I saw some relatively abstract posters and suddenly thought of designing one!

While participating in forum debates, I realise more and more that John 12:40 "HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM." (uppercase because NASB capitalises quotes from the Old Testament) is true.It is a sad thing to consider that some people will simply never have their

Sorry, a bit late again, I think I will need to revert to fortnightly uploads at some stage...The Gospel never ages, it is as glorious today as when I was regenerated. For this reason, my mind has been mulling over this subject. One of the past images had the same phrase "It is finished" on it, I wrote there as well, that this phrase in the Greek meant "Paid in full". We have a resplendent God

For any of you who may be regulars, last week I was kind of bogged down and so I couldn't get a new image done - sorry.A day later than I would have hoped. Nevertheless, I have been listening to some seminars by James White on church history (as well as some Curt Daniel). So I'm sure that you can guess how this image was inspired. In case you don't know, at the time of the reformation, the

If you haven't heard of Paul Washer, I would encourage you to go and look him up on sermonindex.net or sermonaudio.com. Since watching a little clip made from one of his sermons, I have had this text on my mind. Look up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gP-oD7Y0Ag where a few clips of him preaching this are stuck together. Basically, "Salvation is all about the work of God demonstrating the glory

This image was sort of inspired by mdg's comment a while ago. I love this passage of Scripture, 2 Timothy 2:1-4 "You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier

This wallpaper I actually made a while ago, I've been busy with exams so I haven't had much time for hobbies :). Anyway, this sort of goes with the last wallpaper, no one will ever understand the glorious majesty of the death of creation's maker but by the grace of God. Jesus Christ walked on earth and yet, people did not follow Him (and if you think that God is being unfair, take a look at

I pretty much made this image as I went along, the cross in the center was an obvious choice (If the centrality of the cross is not then perhaps you should visit www.needGod.com). I decided on the verse because of the prominence of the cross. I then added, on the left lightning - for the signs that the Jews seek, and on the right, the Chinese calligraphy for the word "wisdom" - for the wisdom

The text is from Colossians 3:2-3 which says "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. " I chose this text while listening to a sermon by John Piper called "Live to Die". The main thought that I really pulled out of it was a resolve; "To live so outrageously that my life and actions only make sense in

Okay, I missed a week but I was planning on doing a new one every fortnight... This wallpaper was from a suggestion that I was emailed. The verses are both Isaiah 9:2 and Matthew 4:16. The Latin quote "Post tenebrus, lux" is translated "After darkness, light". You may notice that the cross has Christ hanging on it only on the left, dark, side. This is because the resurrection of Christ is our

I made this image a while ago but I couldn't decide what text to put onto it. One thing that God has really been showing me recently is His glory in being just and the justifier; the Judge who must condemn, against whom I am guilty of infinite crime, yet the One who has paid my fine and can now satisfy justice and declare me righteous by His blood. What a glorious thought! So the verse is Romans

Inspired by Enfield's (The band that does the music for resolved conferences (woohoo - we're having one in South Africa!!!)) song "Here Am I" of their album "Oh For That Day". This really is my prayer - that God would send me wherever He wants me to go and that I would, in ecstasy, follow His will, whatever that may be. The text is from Isaiah 6:8 which says "Then I heard the voice of the Lord,

At the time I was inspired to do this wallpaper, I had been reading through 1 Corinthians. In case you don't know, "doulos" is the Ancient Greek word for a "bond-slave" or "bond-servant"; a doulos was someone who had essentially agreed to become his master's slave freely and forever - in the Jewish law, slaves would eventually regain their freedom; a doulos would not. Teleo is the word that Jesus

This is one of my favourite psalms, Psalm 19:1-4 "The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."The earth was a screenshot out of Celestia and

Inspired by the third verse in the hymn "Man of Sorrows". It's undoubtedly one of my favourite hymns because not only does it cover the wretchedness of man but the glory of God. It's like singing a mini-sermon! Such amazing truths! (In case you don't know, "Agnus Dei" is Latin for "The Lamb of God"). Originally I didn't know the exact words so if you like, I've got the same picture with the words

This is in response to SFAforester's request for a widescreen wallpaper with CT Studd's quote "Some wish to live within the sound of church or chapel bells, I want to run a rescue shop withing a yard of hell". Just so that you know, I probably wont be able to produce requests this quickly in future... Charles Studd is known for his cricketting ability and, post-conversion; his evangelicalism and

So here goes, my first wallpaper, I originally made this picture partly as a Bible Ed project but I would have made it anyway. Jeremiah 20:9 is the verse and it says, "If I say, 'I will not mention Him, or speak any more in his name,' there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in. And I cannot"

Please note that I basically make these wallpapers for my specific screen resolution at the time of making (generally 1280*1024 or perhaps 1280*900), if you would like a different resolution when you request, please tell me. If you would like one of the wallpapers that are already uploaded modified for a different screen resolution, I can generally do it for you if you ask nicely :) (although
