Size: 36x48   I recently read an article about a discovery found in 1980, the same year that I accepted Christ as my Savior. It was a silver amulet found in a cave across from Mt.

36”x36”x1.5” Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas   As our nightly routine, Heather or myself will take Bo Diddley on a short walk right before bedtime.

For is you possess thsse qualities...

16”x20”x.75" Acrylic on canvas  * Framing options available. This is a slender canvas and requires framing.   Before Christ, God gave His people the law so they would have knowledge of sin and become utterly aware of their condition before a holy God. To get a better sense of their powerlessness, He said they needed to make an offering, a pure offering. But offerings meant different things. The two main offerings included a sin offering, or burnt offering, as a gift. The sin offering was intended to humble the people before God. It was atonement for their guilt. The animal...
