I Love Ink

Just a silly little video, thinking back on high school art class.

 Christ Preached

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

-Philippians 1:15-20

Older video when I owned and operated a small art store in Libby, Montana.

the Living Stone

Denver Colorado in the early 1990s: I was inspired by so many friends and artists in the community that it influenced my art. I wanted to become everything they were. I was excited about painting, poetry photography, sculpting, music, comic books and film making. I was super creative, but never got good at anything. I saw no improvement in my craft. 

Now, in 2020, I think I have figured it out. It’s like I’m “laying a single brick onto a million different houses expecting one day it will magically become a mansion”. This is a quote from a YouTube video by Struthless (https://youtu.be/M6NsEDwHHiE). By focusing on one thing (comic books), I will start to build up my skills and hone my craft. And by putting Christ in the center of it all, I will have a solid foundation.

A Letter to Darwin Scofield

 Darwin Scofield was the pastor of the Libby Baptist Church for decades here in my home town.

Dear Darwin,

I wanted to send you word on how Amber, the girls, Luke and I are doing. The years are flying by with ups and downs, trials and tribulations. But we stand firm in the Lord. I feel compelled to share with you the impact you have had on our lives by allowing God to use you.

“Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.” Galatians 6:6

When I first met you, I claimed to be a Christian on Sundays, but went back to the ways of the world come Monday morning. I was living with my girlfriend at the time (now my wife of six years). When you found out we wanted to get married, you stepped in and put your foot down. I found myself in Richard Minor’s basement trying to get right with God until my wedding day. I thank God he put you in my life to set a good example on how to be a proper man and fear the Lord. It hasn’t been easy, but I have seen much fruit come from the path I am now on.

“Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:7-8

“But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them. From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:14-15

My family and I love you very much… thank you.

God bless and keep you my friend.

John Bursell
