For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God” (Rom 13:1) and “whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment” (Rom 13:2). Romans chapter 13 is where this young man should have done a home Bible study because it expressly states that “every person be subject to the governing authorities. They had really broken no law and weren’t on parole for it. ![]() ![]() When others would try to correct him or warn him about that being a violation of parole, he would quote (or misquote?) Acts 5:29 where “Peter and the apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.'”Yes, I agree, and especially when God’s higher, moral law supersedes man’s laws, but this is not what was going on in Acts chapter 5. When he got out, he thought he was going to skirt the law a bit and not tell his parole officer everything. One real life example was that of a young man who was just released from prison. Sometimes we can take text out of context to make it a pretext and much of the time, it’s a false one. Luke chapter 6 is also a superb example of not only how we treat one another but how we treat even those who are our enemies. First John chapter 2 tells us that we can’t say we love God but not our brothers and sisters (1 John 2:9-11). We nurture, care for, provide for, and yes, even pamper ourselves but do we treat others in this same way? The first and greatest commandment is to love God (Matt 22:37), “And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself'” (Matt 22:39). Of course we don’t have trouble loving ourselves. Our actions betray our hearts, for good or for bad, and if we treat others and even esteem others better than ourselves, then we are fulfilling the royal law to love our neighbor as ourselves (James 2:8). These chapters are sometimes called “the love chapters” and they show that the main thing we should focus on, next to Christ, is in how we treat one another. This Bible study concentrates on 1 Corinthians 13 and Romans chapter 12. We recently had a Bible study at our church that would be a superb Bible study for home. Screen and Lighten work pretty well, too.Here are what I believe to be seven great Bible studies for your home Bible study groups. I like to use Soft Light, Add/Add (Glow), Hard Light, and Overlay for that. You can also use blending modes for highlights. There are plenty of options, though, so don’t be afraid to try them! Color Burn works, but it doesn’t show up on pure white. ![]() Mulitiply and Linear Burn are best for shading. It made the pink blend with the layers below it differently, and it’s much darker and a lot more intense than simply using black would have been. I like to use that for shading, so let’s click that one. In that list of options, there is one called Multiply. (this should look about the same for most programs) There’s a menu above the layer list that says “Normal.” If you click on that, it expands to reveal several other things. I know a lot of people who feel like they need to black or dark colors for shading and white/really light colors for highlights on their digital art, but this isn’t the case! There’s a feature on most painting programs (SAI, Photoshop, Manga Studio, and to some extent FireAlpaca) called blending modes that can help you if you want to try different colors for shading and highlights.įor this drawing, I’ve done the shading in a bright pink on a separate layer from the coloring. OKAY SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THIS BUT THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO DON’T ![]()
