Scripture Series: Called Unto Liberty Card---Join Our Anything Goes/Inspirational Challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

Hi there, everyone!  A week ago, we started another Anything Goes/Inspirational Challenge at Word Art Wednesday (WAW) as we feature another great Scripture Word Art (free for you to download at the WAW site). It comes from Galatians 5:13 which says, "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another."

The other night, I remember telling my hubby how wonderful it is to live in the United States where the laws are founded under the Judeo-Christian standards and the Word of God is weaved in our culture and way of life through the framework of our Constitution.  Yet today, the very same freedom it guarantees are being used diabolically by the demonic entities that seeks to destroy our country.  They've used money, power and influence to turn our system against us and lies are spread everywhere through fake and demon-possessed media to convince the gullible to join their despicable agenda.  The globalist-elitist who are running this country will stop at nothing to realize their One World Government and though the Bible tells of the reality of such time, I believe the Lord has given America a window of opportunity to complete His work when He chose a leader who would stand up against the wiles and whims of these global puppeteers.  Unless people are adept in the Word of God, many will be blind to the destruction of our country.  These deceived people will speak in favor of the sugar coated issues laced with poison; parroting their twisted social media sites that packaged issues based on humanitarian lies and fake concern.  In reality, the globalists aims to stab every God and freedom loving citizens of this country behind our backs and strip us of every freedom we have left.  Isaiah 5:20-23 tells us, "What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold. They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent."  The only way we can  effectively discern from the issues of our time is to be very familiar with God's Word.  Do not believe everything the media presents to you (no matter how convincing it is) but gather facts and then run everything through the principles of God's Word.  Lay down every personal opinions and emotions and aim to extract Truth using the holy Word of God.  Hebrews 4:12 tells us, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."  I would like to share what my Life Application Bible said about the verse in Isaiah 5:20 which tells us, "When people do no carefully observe the distinction between good and evil, destruction soon follows.  It is easy for people to say, "No one can decide for anyone else what is right or wrong." They may think getting drunk can't hurt them, extramarital sex isn't really wrong, or money doesn't control them.  But when we make excuses for our actions, we break down the distinction between right and wrong.  If we do not take God's Word, the Bible, as our standard, soon all moral choices will appear fuzzy.  Without God, we are headed for a breakdown and much suffering.  The people suffered because they rejected God's law.  It is sad to see so many people today searching for meaning in life while spurning God's Word.  We can avoid the error of Israel and Judah by making not only reading the Bible, but also understanding and obeying it, a high priority  in our lives."

For this Card, I used an image from "From the Heart Stamps" called "Rainy Day Birdbrains" that I colored using my Hobby Colour markers.  The base is white CS, cut and scored to make a 5.5 inches square center step style card.  The DP's are from American Crafts, the die cut leaves by Fiskars, the brads from Stampabilities, the washi tape from Tape Works and the fence border by Martha Stewart punch.  I also layered some Prima flowers and added some glitters with Stickles (Crystal).
