FRUIT COCKTAIL TEE

Got my new B3AR FRUIT t-shirt. I really like it. Good concept, great design and quality print. I was also pleasently surprised to see B3AR FRUIT and Stephen the Levite posting this photo with a shout out on their blogs.

The Old Me

Sometimes people find it hard to imagine that I used to have dreadlocks and a Rastafarian mindset. Here's some old photos of me that I put together into one.

I am so thankful that the true Lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5), Jesus Christ has saved me from all of my sin and self-righteousness. He is the true King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev. 19:16), the Alpha and the Omega! (Rev. 21:6).

Filippiläiskirje 4:4

"Iloitkaa aina Herrassa!
Vieläkin minä sanon: iloitkaa!"
(Filippiläiskirje 4:4)

2 Timothy 2:8-10

"Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory."
(2 Timothy 2:8-10, ESV)

Psalm 90:2

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."
(Psalm 90:2, ESV)

Job 37:10

"By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast."
(Job 37:10, ESV)

Isaiah 40:8

"The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever."
(Isaiah 40:8, ESV)

Matthew 12:18-21

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
He will not quarrel or cry aloud,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
a bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
(Matthew 12:18-21, ESV)

Psalm 59:1-8

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;
but your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.
No one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.



They hatch adders' eggs;
they weave the spider's web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.
Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
Their feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
no one who treads on them knows peace."
(Psalm 59:1-8, ESV)

"The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne."
(Psalm 97:1-2, ESV)

"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters
may cover you? Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, 'Here we are'? Who has put wisdom in the inward
parts or given understanding to the mind? Who can number the
clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together?"
(Job 38:34-38, ESV)

"When the house was built, it was with stone prepared
at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool
of iron was heard in the house while it was being built."
(1 Kings 6:7, ESV)

"May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
like showers that water the earth!"
(Psalm 72:6, ESV)

"Sillä armosta te olette pelastetut uskon kautta,
ette itsenne kautta - se on Jumalan lahja"
(Efesolaiskirje 2:8)

"O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures."
(Psalm 104:42, ESV)

"And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord;
I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree,
dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish.
I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it."
(Ezekiel 17:24, ESV)

"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap
nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they?"
(Matthew 6:26, NASB)

"The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands."
(Psalm 19:1, NASB)

"The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever."
(Isaiah 40:8, NASB)

"for our God is a consuming fire."
(Hebrews 12:29, NASB)
