Our focus verse for the Say It With Scripture Challenge at the Sweet 'n Sassy Connection is 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new." Last week we talked about how our music should change once we've accepted Christ as Saviour. This verse tells us that the changes should not stop with just our music. Old things are to pass away and ALL things are become new. This means those old attitudes, actions, vocabulary and ways of thinking need to change. Depending on the person, it may require a change of wardrobe, viewing habits and how we interact with others. WHY do we need to change? Because we are a NEW creature in Christ. We are not the same as we used to be and we now wear the name of Christ. People should be able to see a difference in our lives; we should not look, act, sound or react like an unbeliever. This week, let's each take a look an inward look and ask the Lord to show us areas where we're allowing the world to creep back into our lives. Then, let's ask the Lord to help us make the changes necessary to make sure "old things are passed away."
I chose a card style that really stretches my comfort zone...CAS (clean and simple). I like the look when other people do it but I'm not so sure about mine. I used CPS Birthday Celebration Day #5 sketch for this card.
Supplies:
Cardstock - Recollections (cream), Bazzill (kraft)
Patterned Paper - BG (Oxford)
Stamps - Sweet 'n Sassy (New Creature)
Embellishments/Tools - Jute (Joann's), Scor-Buddy for scoring lines, Spellbinders (Label One)
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Hi Stephanie, I like your clean and simple card and of course the scripture on it. Love to see scripture on projects. A good devotional you've shared to remind us that the "world" always has ways of sneaking back in. I hope you'll be feeling better real soon. Thanks for linking this to Scripture Thursday, and congratulations for winning last week. ~ Abby
