Free Printable - Word Art Project - Jeremiah 32:17

Here is another Word Art Wednesday scripture graphic for you created with their scripture graphic and my art work. This time I only made a 5x7 inch graphic because it appeared to me that this one could still be shrunk to 4x6 inches without too much loss around the edges. Also, because there is a top and bottom border and some space on the sides, you should be able to trim it down after printing if you so desire.

Show No Mercy, Give No Quarter?

I posted this link here several years ago, but it seems like a good time to repost it due to all the merciless judgment and lack of compassion we are seeing of late.



James 2:13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

------------

Some years ago a pastor my dad met told him that he thought a lot of pastors had the philosophy, "Do Satan no harm." We agreed in many cases and remembered that quote. However, in doing Satan no harm, or perhaps we should say in pretending to do Satan harm, too many pastors and Christians in general resort to harming the believers or the sinners they deal with.

Our natural response, if not too weak, is inclined to be too hard. We forget that ...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 We are often inclined to count the person as the enemy, and in giving Satan no mercy nor quarter, our human tendency is to react upon the person in giving them no mercy nor quarter either. It is this forgetfulness and merciless attitude that eventually leads some to extremes like the Thompson brothers who beat a Mexican boy nearly to death in Austin, Tx.; and the infamous godhatesfags.com and Westboro “church”, that encourages wild rage against many sinners for whom Christ died…

Nevertheless Afterward - by Annie Johnson Flint

Here is a poem to remind us that the Lord has reasons for the dark times through which He allows us to pass. We can trust Him take us safely through to the other side.

Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

I was so happy in my lot,
I was so glad of work or play,
I only asked that I might walk
With others on life's common way;
My Father let the sorrows come
That blotted out the sunlit skies,
That stopped the toil of busy hands
And turned my laughter into sighs.

I was so sorrowful, so spent,
I only asked to dwell apart...

Evening Song - Jesus Is Mine

John 14:2-3  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Romans 8:18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Card Making - Word Art Project - 1 Corinthians 13:13 - Printable

I decided to try participating (at least some) in the Word Art Wednesday projects this year. I'm not sure how often I'll be doing this, but their free scripture verse art and my own enjoyment of card making and offering my reader free graphics seemed like a good combination, so I'm going to give it a go, Lord willing.

Here is my first effort. As usual, these are free and you can click on them to download them in their original size. I will be posting my cards in 5"x7" and 4"x6" sizes. I hope someone will enjoy using them to create their own cards. :-)

The files are rather large because I saved them in 300 dpi in order to keep the text at a good quality for printing. You may need to select the correct size on your printer in order to get them to print in the proper sizes. You should be able to size them down if you want a smaller size, just know the text could become unreadable if you make them too small. You can add color or embellishments to your heart's content. :-)  The lower graphics might look nice printed on colored paper - probably a lighter color.

Enjoy!
