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.

John 1:5
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 Romans 8 and 9 - And read some commentary, I like John Macarthur's comments although Calvin or Spurgeon will also do). Nowadays we have a lot of people doing some strange wonders and miracles but I think back to Jesus' words in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, "If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone is rises from the dead". The text in this image is taken from John 1:5 "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
The verse is written in the font "Times New Yorker" and I can't remember what font I used for the reference (If I do remember I'll update this post).
