Artist Statement

Fiery Trials

As Christians we are often engaged in battles with unseen forces in the heavenlies.
These forces war against our soul as they seek our harm and destruction. We are not left defenseless.
The Lord is on our side and He works all things together for our good, including the fiery darts
of the enemy. As you can see in the painting there are many dark areas here and what looks like
fiery places, but they all work together into something that appears to have a design and plan
that is lovely. God has that creative power to display his glory even as we are being tried as if by fire.
