Witness for His Name

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of...

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~ Matthew 5:16  In this painting I wanted to depict the Savior with open arms, welcoming and inviting us to come unto Him, the Prince of Peace. My intention was to create an expression of His softness, forgiveness, and understanding; for He knows us and...

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. ~ John 15:12It is an enduring theme for followers of Christ that except [we] be converted, and become as little children, [we] shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.??Matthew 18:3). In this painting I wanted to portray the comfort of the two children in Christ?? presence. Christ?? red robe is meant to symbolize his royal birth ??truly He was the only begotten of the Father, the Son of the living God. His humility is...

The wise virgin with her lamp trimmed and oil ready - waiting for the coming of the bridegroom. This painting illustrates the parable of the wise virgins from the New Testament.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ~ Matthew 6:28Just as Christ taught His disciples to turn to the Lord for al of their needs, so little children turn to loving parents to care for them. And we too must become like little children, having faith that a loving Father will readily provide. If we seek for the kingdom of God first, all these things will be added unto us. If we, with...

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness". ??Psalms 23:2 This beautiful green pasture reminds me of the countryside I loved to roam as a boy growing up in England. The path in this painting represents our journey through life, and Christ is on the path watching over us. He is the Savior of all who will accept Him, but most importantly He is the Savior for us individually. In this painting the Savior is caring for the individual lamb while...

Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation. I believe that one?? image of Christ is a very personal thing, and I take a great deal of personal responsibility in painting the Savior ??my Savior. I wanted to convey in this painting both His strength and His sensitivity. To go through everything that He did for us and yet He was sensitive and caring enough to recognize and heal so much pain and hurt. I wanted...

I am the resurrection, and the life. he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. ~ John 11:25Perhaps the most awesome event in history was that glorious moment when the Son of God stepped from the tomb and broke the chains of death that held us all bound. In that instant, majestic and triumphant, the singular act of sacrifice and love on the part of the Son and the Father bore fruit and gave us all the gift of life. As the son rose upon that first Easter day, the world was...

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ~ Isaiah 9:6 Picture the humble surrounds in which the most precious infant in all history lay asleep on the hay. Mary - the loving and attentive mother - and Joseph - the worthy guardian - watch over the babe with awe and wonder, likely feeling the way all new parents have throughout...

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. ~ John 8:58 There are many names and titles for Jesus the Christ. Each has something unique to inspire in our minds one of the attributes of the Son of the living God. Several of these begin with ?? Am???? Am the Bread of Life, I Am the Light of the World, I Am the Good Shepherd. Each one of these is beautiful and reveals a part of our Savior?? purpose and being. However, it occurred to me that while all of...

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. ~ Rev 21:4Each of us experience times of sorrowful tears, disappointment, and heartache. As with this little child, Jesus reaches out to us and asks ??as he did Mary Magdalane at the tomb ????hy weepest thou??? Regardless of the reason for our suffering, He is able to comfort us. The well and the water bucket in the painting symbolize His ability to provide us with Living Water and the early morning light reminds us of the hope that shines...

Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord. ~ Psalms 119:156Through the Savior our lives can be made complete ??In our greatest moments of joy and rejoicing, and in our deepest moments of tragedy and despair, we can take comfort in the fact that His love for us is everlasting, and that we, God?? children, are in His constant care.

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ~ Matthew 25:40  In His ministry our Savior provided many examples of how we should be in our various roles in life. I have always though His washing of the apostles' feel was the ultimate example of true leadership. I wanted to show that the Savior is willing to be a servant to all and we too should learn to do such service. This is a sacred and very intimate moment and...

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness". ??Psalms 23:2 This beautiful green pasture reminds me of the countryside I loved to roam as a boy growing up in England. The path in this painting represents our journey through life, and Christ is on the path watching over us. He is the Savior of all who will accept Him, but most importantly He is the Savior for us individually. In this painting the Savior is caring for the individual lamb while...

"I am the Light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." ??ohn 8:12The latest beautiful image of the Savior by Simon Dewey

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16  The example we set may be the only gospel message that some people ever receive. When we think of our example to others in those terms we can see why the Savior associated light with this principle. I hoped to show that even children can be taught that the way they live their lives can be the most significant missionary tool. It is quite a challenge to...

...whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. ~ John 4:14It was at Jacob's well, in the presence of a Samaritan woman, that Jesus chose to declare his Messiahship in one of the most tender and profound teaching moments in the New Testament. He could have delivered his message to a large multitude of learned and favored individuals. Yet he took time to meet...
