I enjoy making wallpapers and I have a specific passion while doing them; that is, Soli Deo Gloria. Glory to God alone for everything. I make wallpapers to glorify my Creator and Sustainer and to remind me of important truths that have recently been burnt into my mind. If you would like a wallpaper, comment on the first post with the phrase you suggest as well as the visual elements you think should be utilised.
Most importantly however, do you know Christ? If you have ever lied, stolen anything or even looked with lust, you will be guilty before God Almighty on judgement day. As a righteous and holy God, He must punish you. You will be rightfully damned for eternity. However, God is also loving and merciful and so He has made a way of escape. Jesus Christ came to earth and lived a sinless life. He suffered and died on the cross where God lavished the wrath and anger that had been stored up for the sin that we have committed, on His son Jesus Christ (who is God incarnate - God in the form of a man). So now, we can recieve mercy for our sins if we repent (confess our sins and turn from them) and believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you have any questions about this, please email me...

John 1:5 and Matthew 5:16
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 brevity and inconsequence of life, shows a slide depicting a tombstone with a name, the year of birth, a dash and the year of death. He qualifies the image saying that all we get when we die is two numbers and a line and then asks, "What on earth are you doing for heaven?". The non-Christian also thinks over his meaning in life; men dream of being remembered like Ghandi or Einstein, Lincoln or Caesar. I think Paul Washer identifies this desire of men to glorify themselves and receive praise and exhorts his listeners who pray "God use me" to instead pray "Lord, use my roommate and let me carry his bags all the days of my life". George Whitefield said in his latter years, "Let the name of Whitefield perish and that of Christ be glorified" and most are familiar with the quote "Only one life, 'twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last". In light of all this, how then should we then live? I think that Falconer gives his answer in this quote, "I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light." What further discussion is necessary?
Verse text is in "Papyrus" and their references are in "Lucida Blackletter". The quote itself is in "3 theHard way RMX" and the background words "Light" and "Darkness" as well as "- John Falconer" are in "ParkAvenue BT". The wallpaper was designed for a 1280x1024 resolution.

Five Solas
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 at such glorious concepts as being "saved by grace through faith, and this not of ourselves but a gift from God."
Therefore, let us always live Soli Deo Gloria!
The "Sola" and derivatives are in "University Roman LET", the other half of the phrase for each sola is in "Times New Roman" and the phrases beneath each sola are in "Cardinal Alternate". I think I should also acknowledge that the background is by no means my artwork (in case you don't recognise it). Rather, the background is a painting by Van Gogh, I hope he doesn't mind :).
Also, just so that you know, yesterday I posted a *very* late image (I missed posting one last week)...
