Artist Profile: Katalin Kovács

When she was only 11 years old, Katalin “Katyus” Kovács began attending art school. She later studied advertising design at Partium Christian University in Oradea, Romania to develop the skills that have made her the talented artist that she is today.

The Tales of the Kingdom project was an ideal fit for Katyus, because illustrating books – especially children’s books – is her favorite medium. She told us that she was excited about the 99 Design contest and the Tales of the Kingdom, “from the first moment, the first impression, when I read the story, until the last part of the project.” Her excitement can literally be seen in her art.

Not all that many years ago, it might have been difficult for a woman in the small village of Bäile Tuşnad, Romania, to make it to the international stage with her artwork. But with the emergence of the internet, this young lady in this quaint village in the mountain valley alongside the Olt River, some three-and-one-half hours north of Bucharest, is now receiving world-wide recognition.

Stay Alert to Self-diminishing Compromises

Image
I believe that when most of us think about Daniel our mind and memory immediately go to him and the Lion’s Den!  Yet, there is so much more about Daniel that we need to know!  In fact, the story that first introduces him to us is one that allows us to see how Daniel was able to  Stay Alert to Self-diminishing Compromises . Daniel 1:1-20 tells us that he was taken captive from his homeland and wound up in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar.  While there, he and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, along with the other young men who were taken, were to be fed the king’s delicacies preparatory to serving in the king’s palace.  You, I am sure, remember that they choose to eat veggies and water instead and, when they were examined, were in as good, if not better, health than those who had chosen to eat what the king provided. Daniel and his three friends recognized that eating the delicacies would have been detrimental in the long run, making it beneficial that they were ab...

Reference the Culture to Share God’s Love

Image
When we contemplate the ministry of Apostle Paul we see a man who was a zealot from the very moment we are introduced to him.  Though playing for “the wrong team” at the time, he pursued the Christians all over Jerusalem, and  then  made arrangements to go to Damascus and pursue them! After being converted on the road to Damascus his zeal, if anything, grew in intensity.  It caused him to be stoned.  It caused him to be imprisoned.  And, it caused him to be ingenious!  That’s why Paul was the first one who was able to  Reference the Culture to Share God’s Love! You probably remember the story.  Paul is hanging out in Athens when his spirit is terribly troubled by all of the idolatry that was taking place.  Acts 17:16-34 tells us that members of a number of different philosophies were gathered there, Epicureans and Stoics to name a few.  “Pleasure” was one of their main life goals, and one of the things that pleased them the most was...

Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed

Image
I was talking with a good friend one day and he said, “You know, I struggle with making sure I am doing God things and not just good things.”  I nodded that I understood, but, since then, I have pondered that statement a lot.  Since it is accepted that “Christian” means to be “Christ like,” it is important to see if Christ did differentiate between the two to help us determine if we should  Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed . In Mark 1:29-39, we find that Jesus does make this distinction and that He did, in fact,  Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed .  After raising Peter’s mother-in-law from a bad fever and healing a host of others and casting out demons, Jesus retires for the evening.  Rising before daylight the next morning, He goes off to pray.  When His disciples come and tell Him that folks are looking for Him, he advises them that they need to go to other towns in the area for,  “this is the purpose I have come forth.” We all know...
