Over the past few months I’ve created a series of YouTube videos called, Theology Behind The Imagery. These videos are my attempt to explain some of the biblical and theological underpinnings of specific scenes in my animations. I want to do something similar to that in today’s blog post. The picture I want to examine […]

Visual Exegesis As some of you may know, for the last few months I’ve been putting together an art book entitled Visual Exegesis. It’s been a long process–much longer than I anticipated when I started out on it back in February! “How hard can it be,” I thought, “all I need to do is gather together some

  “And after a while the brook dried up. Then the word of YHWH came to him…” – 1 Kings 17:7-8 For today’s blog post I want to briefly point out one interesting element in this account: the the order of the two events. First the brook dries up, and then the word of the

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you…” – John 15:7 In chapter 15 of John’s gospel, we find Christ’s wonderful extended teaching about the Vine and the Branches. The point of this analogy is that Jesus Himself is the Vine and His followers are the Branches. What I love so much

  “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside His outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around His waist. Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash

“The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will

“Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him…” – Psalm 62:8 A Beautiful Call How wonderful that such a command is in scripture….”pour out your heart before Him.” That is truly awesome. Remember that the Bible is the word of God. This means that a call like the one

“But as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 Not Primarily About Heaven It seems that this verse is often taken as a commentary on the joys and glories of eternity (“Heaven”), which

“As I live, declares the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I will be King over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and

For today’s blog post I wanted to share with you all an excerpt from the study guide for the upcoming animation, “It Is Finished.” I create these guides as a way of helping people understand some of the theological underpinnings to the imagery that they see in the animations. My hope and prayer is that

“And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and all its furniture, so you shall make it.” – Exodus 25:8-9   How interesting is it that YHWH God, transcendent creator of time and space and matter and the

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven,making peace by the

Before I begin today’s post I want to give a disclaimer. Much of what I discuss in this post is speculative. I am doing my best to piece together what scripture teaches us, but ultimately these are high and glorious things that are difficult to wrap our minds around. Please read what I say cautiously

“Deep calls to Deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.” – Psalm 42:7 Deep Calls to Deep…? I’ve often wondered what the phrase “deep calls to deep” might mean in Psalm 42. We know that it comes to us in the context of someone who

  Although Full of Eyes is primarily focused on the creation of animations, over the last year and a half I’ve also made quite a few still pictures for the monthly supporters of the ministry and various other occasions. Upon the encouragement of some of those closest to me, I’ve decided to compile what I think

“And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed….and being in an agony, He prayed more earnestly.” – Luke 22:41,44 Prayer was the lifeline of God the Son during His days on the earth. He regularly sought the Father through prayer, and here – as He stands at the precipice

“And going a little farther He fell on His face and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.’“ – Matthew 26:39 “Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father and he will at once send me more

…and so we will always be with the Lord – 1 Thessalonians 4:17   The One I pray to in the silence of my mind, the one whose form I have never seen, the One who has led me from the womb, in whom millions have trusted. The One who has led His church for

“And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ And He said to him, ‘Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.’” – Luke 23:42-43   In Christ Alone I praise God that this account was included in scripture. What a merciful thing the Lord has done

  “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.” -Leviticus 17:11 In this verse we find an amazing explanation given by YHWH as to why the
