" For the Word of God

is living and powerful,

sharper than any two-

edged sword, piercing

even to the division of

soul and spirit, of joints

and marrow, and is the

discerner of the thoughts

and intents of the heart."

Hebrews 4:12

What our eyes see and our ears hear every day influence what we believe, speak, and do. With all the images and sounds of our world coming at us 24/7, it gets harder and harder to always think, say, and do according to what our Christian faith demands of us, how we should act, how we should speak, the choices we should make.

Christian art, particularly scripture, counteracts that daily dose of all-pervasive world-based thinking. So, let's put the power of God's Word to work in our lives. Let it transform our thinking, shape our speaking, and guide our doing. No compromise ... in our walk, in our talk, in all we do, let's shine Christ.
