But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
"The Christian themed art that I create is not an attempt to depict a likeness, nor an image of anything to be worshiped here on earth, or in heaven above. My art is created to point all people to Jesus Christ who is worthy of all of our honor, glory and praise.”
Mark Lawrence became a born-again Christian after he went through tough financial times in the early ‘90s. To help ease his stress, he once again picked up his paintbrushes and began rediscovering his love of painting. It was also during this time that he began his habit of reading and studying the Bible every day seeking God's wisdom and direction for his life
Mark is still looking for ways to use art to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ . His paintings proclaim his sense of faith, hope, and security for the future as a Christian. He says: "God has a lot that He wants to say to us, but the worries and concerns of this life just run us over"
The New International Version Chapter 13
