We
are a very visual people, profoundly affected by
what we see. The Banner Ministry desires to
capitalize on that very thing! How so, you ask?
In an extremely busy world, we
have to remind ourselves of the promises of
God. The Word of God teaches us not to set
wicked things before our eyes. So, He requires
the opposite of us … that we set good things
before our eyes! If you look at something
Godly, you will think God thoughts and act in a
Godly manner.
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.”
Philippians 4:8
How uplifting it is to see words like JOY and
PEACE and LOVE! And what an appropriate
reminder to us to see words like PRAISE and
WORSHIP and THANKSGIVING! The words we see will
affect how we think and how we feel!
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his
banner over me was love.”
Song of Solomon 2:4
If you have a creative or artistic gift, it came
from God. He wants you to offer that back to
Him
through ministry. Using your creative gifts to
make banners is a service to God and to His
family! We invite those that are skilled in
art, sewing or crafts to join with us in
proclaiming God’s Word through banners!
We encourage helpers to join us as well. You
may not be skilled in sewing or crafts, but we
need people to iron, cut out letters and pieces
of the design, etc. There is room for you in
this ministry!
“Thou hast given a banner to them that fear
thee, that it may be displayed because of the
truth.” Psalm 60:4
Every time we come to the house of the Lord, we
celebrate! We have the opportunity to enrich
the service of celebration with a beautiful,
creative, visual statement … a banner! |
