How to Use This Board

Here's our
Twenty-Eighth Challenge for you all.

"The Holy Bible Says"

Details:

This topic was chosen by LaughingPeppers, who won our last Challenge. The subject of the next Mini Challenge is "The Holy Bible Says". LaughingPeppers says, "Members who wish to compete are free to pick any verse in the Holy Bible that best describe their photos."

Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes. If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo. If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it. It's best if your photos are at least 500 to 600 pixels wide so that they are easily seen.

Please upload up to4 entries per member for this challenge.

The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on January 17, 2009 and then we'll vote on them.

Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it. Please only enter photos taken by you.

Please put a short title above your photo. We need the title for the poll listing. If you want to tell us a bit about your photos, please do that in a separate post so that every post ONLY has the Title and then the Photo and that's all.

Please post only one entry per post. .

Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge. So start posting. Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
Remember, this is a fun project!

About the photo:

"This was shot at the courtyard of The Church Of The Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The silhouettes are my fellow pilgrims from St. Thomas Church, Canada. This is also the photo that inspired me in forming the group "Photographers for Christ."

"Be Still"

I captured this little bird when he landed on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Snake River Canyon. He was there for such a short time, barely long enough for me to snap the photo. It made me think of how we humans rush about and God tells us to be still and know that He is God.

[attachimg=#]

Deep calls to Deep: I had a very profound experience with the Lord a few weeks ago at one of our Sydney beaches where I was totally overwhelmed by a wave - Deep calls to deep very aptly described my experience with Him and the photo I was able to capture, which shows both oncoming waves and a breaking wave in the fore-ground.

OK - Thank you Don, trying again....

You'll have to ask a specific member who created the image if they would mind if you snagged it. Do this by clicking on their name and sending a PM to them.

you have already won. God must be smiling at all of us.

Let us answer to our calling. Keep on shooting photos that convey the Holy Scriptures and
share it to the world.

Congratulations to the winners! These were all excellent photos and of course, the Scripture was most excellent too.

I think you all outdid yourselves.

Chris & Margit Saunders · January 25, 2009, 11:09:51 AM

"Christian Photographers" has always been a very talented group, and unlike some other photography websites to which I have belonged, the Scripture is more important than the photo, many people will throw a gospel tract away, (sometimes while you are still there!) Christians don't take offence easily :-) but if you give them a nice photo with scripture, they will take it home, Margit and I have given out hundreds over the years, usually about 4x2 size.
It is truly more blessed to give than to receive, especially the gospel.
Please feel free to print any of ours that you require, it will be a privilege. Thank you for your votes and congratulation to all.
your's Chris & Margit.
