Walking in Love

For this week's challenge I (Kimberly White) have chosen Walking in Love. There is so much that God has said to us in his Word about Love. God is Love. Faith works by love. The greatest commandment given to us by Jesus is to love.

Jesus replied, "' Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind'. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22: 37-40

But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him; Whoever claims to live in him, must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:5-6

This week, consider your love walk ... and join us in creating art that glorifies him.

Forgiveness -Matthew 11:28

The SALT team continues to be encouraged and blessed by your continued participation in our faith-based challenges and we praise God for allowing us to share our creativity in a way that seeks to honor and glorify the risen Savior!

This week it's my (Kim S.) turn to set the challenge and I chose forgiveness. The idea for this challenge came from a hymn we sang in church a few months ago. The focus of the hymn is on man's natural state of sinfulness and how, through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, we can be set free from the bondage of sin and be "set faultless before the throne."


Many people would state that they don't need forgiveness and yet, when we compare our every day acts against that of Christ, a sinless man, we are able to see our utter hopelessness of ever being worthy or "good" enough to receive the gift of everlasting life. Praise God, He sent a Savior who can forgive even the worse sinner and create in us a clean heart. "Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down...."

Please enjoy the beautiful creations the team has made this week! You may click on each team member's name to visit their individual blogs and read more about their art pieces.



If you are inspired by this week's challenge and would like to share something that you've made, please leave us a comment with a link back to your blog or online gallery. We'd love to see your creations!
