Welcome back by, friends. We're so super glad you're here to join us for another FUN challenge. God has been BLESSING once again, and our Sponsor Calendar for 2025 is FULL. PRAISE GOD! We love and appreciate having you play along in our challenges, and it's our greatest hope that our challenges are a blessing and encouragement to you. Please know that we care about you, about your spiritual condition, and we're here to encourage you if you need us. We also love seeing your amazing art each week. Thanks for being here.
The scripture used for our word art during this challenge is 1 Timothy 5:17 and it says, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine". This verse is speaking about elders or pastors - those who are serving and preaching in the church. The verse tells these people to be counted worthy of double honor. It's a reminder to them that, because they are in a position of leadership and teaching, they need to be found "worthy" of the calling and position. Each pastor, or elder, in the church who is supported by their church needs to be sure that they are never becoming lazy or complacent. In the same fashion, God expect each of us to be found "worthy" of our calling. We all have a responsibility to serve God, to teach others with the knowledge we have (especially Biblical knowledge), and to always remember that others are watching us. Our behaviors, good or bad, will affect others. We will either be a blessing or a hinderance to others; especially those who are less spiritually mature. Let this be a reminder to each of us to always seek wisdom and to truly care about being worthy of what God has given us. No matter what your level of spiritual/Biblical maturity is, always be sure to use it for God's glory and to be a blessing in the lives of those we encounter.
As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along or to win in our challenges. We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly. This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards). You may link up to five (5) projects each week for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge. The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning. It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and an encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "Challenge Rules". Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines. Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone. We're not. We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules. Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.
