Visual Theology – Think On These Things

Visual Theology
This series of infographics that I’m calling “Visual Theology” has visited the ordo salutis, the attributes of God and the books of the Bible. Today I continue this series with a stop in Philippians 4:8. This is the first of the graphics that answers a request from one of the readers of this site and is also the first to seek to display Scripture rather than theology (to draw a potentially-perilous line!).

The much-loved words of Philippians 4:8 read as follows: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” In this graphic we’ve attempted to both portray and explain the verse. I hope you enjoy it!

Think On These Things

If you would like the graphic in high-resolution, you can download it in JPG or PDF.

Visual Theology Store

Also, lots of people have requested printed versions of these infographics, so I’ve gone ahead and created a shop at Imagekind. You can buy each of the prints on a variety of media and at a variety of sizes; the prices you’re paying are just barely marked up to help cover the costs associated with the store and (hopefully, over time) cover the cost of some of the graphics. Visit challies.imagekind.com.

    Praying for the Impossible and the Simple

    It is good to pray that God would save the ones we love. As Christians, we believe that God loves to save the lost and that it gives him special pleasure to do so in response to the prayers of his people. It is good to pray, but sometimes also difficult, especially when we have…

    How Much Money Is God Not Concerned About?

    Here is the kind of question I sometimes enjoy pondering: How much money is God not really concerned about? I guess I’d better explain what I mean by that. If someone told me a wealthy neighbor was handing out $100 bills to anyone who dropped by, no strings attached, I would immediately go over and…
