Above image is the homepage of Zoe Threads. This is Not an affiliate post.

Zoe Threads sell great looking Christian Tshirts (Christian Tees) and hoodies that are modern, meaningful and spiritual.

The site company page reads:

Lauren Ellis has always wanted to use her art to glorify God. When she was 15 years old, she experimented with the idea of making Christian t-shirts. After completing high school, she studied graphic art and design. In the beginning of 2009, Lauren combined her art and love for God and began producing designs that were both fun and exciting.

In early spring, she began doing test designs. With very positive feedback, she went forward in business plans and started Zoe Threads™.

Here are some of their great Christian-inspired designs:

What does Heaven look like?

What does Heaven look like? This is a question that many of us have asked ourselves or others at some point. There are plenty of descriptions in the Bible describing Heaven, but it is up to our own imaginations to create the imagery on paper, canvas or computer.

Here is a selection of images I found on the web relating to Heaven (the Christian interpretation of it). There are some illustrations showing a general view of the interior of the great city, to the outer-wall and the Throne of God…

PLEASE NOTE: These are NOT my images. I’ve linked to the original sources underneath the images. You can click the images for fuller more details.

So, What does Heaven look like?

Here’s an illustration I found of the Golden City of Heaven. Those lions look a little angry, but its a sure inspiring image of Heaven:

Heaven: the tip of the golden New Jerusalem:

Maybe like some of it has field and rolling clouds like this…

The golden New Jerusalem is actually has the dimensions of a Cube, as recorded in Revelation. This is an interesting sketch of Heaven:

The next illustration tries to capture part of heaven on a road, although the Bible states the New Jerusalem will be gold. Its great inspiration, though:

If you know of any other images of Heaven online, please leave a comment and let me know. I may add it here, creating a large collection of images of what Heaven looks like…

“Look, it’s Jesus” Illustrations by Adam Grason

Andrew Kelsall — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:15:12 +0000

I love these illustrations named “Look, it’s Jesus” by Christian designer, Adam Grason. These “shots” are from the site Dribbble,where Adam uploaded these images (which are progressional illustrative snapshots of forthcoming work).

You can see the rest of Adams work over on his site, Zadok44, or view his profile on Dribbble.

Be Bold For Christ

I saw this amazing Christian Illustration recently, named “Be Bold for Christ“. You can see the image in more detail over on Flickr, via A Message. In the Gospels, we are told how Bold the disciples were in preaching the Good news of Jesus Christ—so what a fitting message this design conveys…

10 Christian Angel Tattoo Designs

Andrew Kelsall — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:04:31 +0000

This article originally showed a gallery of 10 Christian Angel Tattoo Designs. I don’t have any tattoos myself—but many Christians do. Some believe that for a Christian to have a tattoo is wrong, because of Leviticus 19:28, where it reads:

“You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”

There’s an interesting article on the meaning of this verse, it’s context and validity in the New Covenant over at Religious Tattoos. I have deleted the images this post contains, as I now feel I was in error. Whilst I’m not stating that having a tattoo is wrong, I don’t want to glorify it either. If you are a Christian who is thinking about having one, please pray to the LORD Jesus about it first.

Are you a Christian who has a tattoo? Do you think it’s okay by the LORD? What do you think of these designs? I’d like to hear your opinions below…

Stunning 120 Year old Gothic Bible Page

Andrew Kelsall — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:48:16 +0000

I was flicking through the images on Photo-site Flickr—and found this stunning image of a 120 Year old Gothic Bible Page:

Image Copyright: Wonderlane

As can be seen, “they don’t make Bibles like they used to”…although the modern ones are a tad more legible I love the colour and the style of the imagery and illustration; I doubt that anyone who doesn’t even believe in The LORD would dislike a Bible such as this.
