Dive into the Bible - A Very Deep Pool!

Dive into the Bible - A very deep pool, no one knows it's full depth, only God, yet its safe for toddlers to paddle and enjoy...in fact learning to swim in the Bible pool is the best thing children can do growing up, with eternal blessings for all who enjoy its benefits and find the Pearl of Great price found within its depths. Many wise merchants have been known to sell all they possess, that they might obtain this one unique precious pearl. Have you swam in this pool of no regrets? Whatever situation you are in, take a swim in the Bible pool, don't give up, when you find this precious and valuable pearl, seek to obtain it - because you wont regret it! “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46.   

Recently we did an outreach at the local Mangroves near where we live in Caucaia - Some photos of our time, bringing a little joy to a very needy area. We had some presentations and Bible stories also food. Also took my easel and paints and revisited a subject, placing a huge Bible as a swimming pool in the scene of the mangroves. I painted a similar picture many years ago around 2004 helping an outreach to a very needy area in Fortaleza. The photo below is from the outreach in 2004 - How time flies!

Carol Coppens from Canada also saw the recent picture on Facebook painted at the Mangroves and made a poem inspired about diving into the Bible pool, and came up with a poem below. So I decided to share it here, alongside a similar picture I did years ago in 2003 when experimenting with Bryce 3D Software. Thank you Carol for sharing your wonderful poem and words! Click on the image below for posters and cards available

Dive into the bible,

It is a deep pool,

All wisdom and knowledge

Contained in its whole.

Each page tells the story,

Of God's plan for men,

To rescue from sin,

And restore us again.

Our sin holds us captive,

God's will we defy,

We hate being told,

To the world we must die.

We know we're unable

Our sins to deny,

God must grant to us faith,

To see Him with our eye.

The story's all there,

In clear black and white,

Press on through its pages,

'Til God grants you sight.

Without living faith,

Heaven's closed to our pleas,

So give God what He's due,

And submit, on your knees.

Dive into the bible,

Its waters are deep,

Pray His grace to convert you,

And your soul to keep safe.
