Our Search For Jesus
Are you serious about putting Christ back in Christmas?
The only way we can really know another person is to "walk in his shoes..." Think what He thinks...learn what He knows...say what He would say...and do what He would do. Christ said, "Be ye therefore perfect." We can only accomplish this as we become like Him. Faithfully follow this 7-day walk with Christ. you will come to know and understand him better.

Painting The Best Art Of All The Art
This makes sense because Jesus actually wrote the Constitution and revealed it to the founding fathers—devout Christian men like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson.
Paintings for Christmas
This is a question that re-invents itself every year. People change, fashions change and you change as well. As such, you are back to square one almost like clockwork, every year. There is no denying it, whatever your gender, sex and age, buying that special present for someone else remains as elusive as landing the perfect job or finding the perfect mate. It can happen, but lighting rarely strikes twice and in any event, hoping for it to happen exactly right this year requires an enormous amount of personal Christmas spirit, to say the least.Wednesday, November 24, 2010

The Another Testament of Jesus Christ
You have seen from the writings of the Prophet Alma above that he was saved from exceeding anguish after he recalled and believed in the prophetic words of his own father, Alma, regarding the future coming to earth of Jesus Christ to atone for the sins of mankind.
It should become obvious to each of us that the gift of Prophecy and Revelation is heart and soul of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why then is it not a part of the Christian churches of today's world? I must also ask, why don't those churches accept the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ? After all its prophets often testify in their writings of their using the gifts of Prophecy and Revelation.
The Mormon Art Christ
Considering the age-old era and its ability we cannot balloon the addition of the Mormon art. They are the art forms which characterize the history and the ability of the cathedrals of the age-old times. It lays accent on the article and the letters that are the agency of communication. The paintings call the affluent ability and traditions that were followed during the Mormon period. The artisan mostly concentrated on the paintings of Jesus Christ.There are altered art forms accompanying to it from the acceptable to the temple art and the portray paintings. Let us apperceive about their altered appearance and how they are different.
Christ Painting In The Desert
without sounding like a religious nut I hope,I will say that Jesus has always been the biggest inspiration in my life.There are a lot of paintings of Jesus but nothing caught my eye like this painting.There is Jesus so Human and frail and alone.He's Probably thinking of the trials that lie ahead before him or probably something much further but there is that frailty in those hollow eyes and face that is so human.Probably he's praying a desperate prayer for everyone and knows somehow it won't work.There is this landscape all around him of a desert that is in complete agreement with him.The Human suffering and weakness so apparent in a being worshipped as a Messiah always inspired me to realize how he has been through it before me for me and that everything will be alright.Only one who goes through pain can know and understand others pain and suffering and one look at that picture even in my lowest of the lows tells me that he understands and cares..
Resurrection Paintings of Jesus Christ
The Renaissance era of oil paintings brought in new styles for religious paintings whilst still continuing the common subjects as seen before in Christian art. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a very common choice at the time and this has continued ever since. Several of the key Renaissance artists of the time used the Resurrection as subject in many of their works, and this article explains a little more about them.
The Resurrection is an obvious choice for these artists, with it's symbolic strength which inspires many, even today. The supreme miracle, when Jesus Christ overcomes death is ideal fodder for mystical, powerful art. In each case, the Renaissance artists aimed to portray Jesus as an extraordinary being, separated from mere mortals. How this was achieved differed from artist to artist.
Hans Pleydenwurff's The Resurrection simply used Jesus' determined facial expressions to portray his strength, whilst others prefered to underline the miraculous activities (Giovanni Bellini - The Transfiguration) or superimpose the crucifixion as seen in Fra Angelico's oil painting of the same name. Grunewald created The Resurrection in bolder, brighter style that remains popular today, around 1512-15, and set Jesus against a night scene to underline his brightness and maximise his contrast to everyone else.
