It is and always has been a priority of ours to make the unboxing experience of a package a memorable one. We’re always considering and working toward how to make it even better, but one of our favorite things over the years has been the thank you note that’s included with each order. Letterpressed with copper foil, it has a tear off bookmark with a hand lettered Scripture design (which we change up now and then). It’s just one of the ways we hope to communicate how grateful we are for each and every order we get to ship out! 📦 #smallbusiness #packaging #letterpress #handmade #scriptureart #treasuretheword https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJf8x5ASMd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After dinner tonight we talked as a family about wanting to be grateful people, not grumblers or worriers. This verse, like so many others, can become so familiar that we can too easily overlook what it’s saying. But when you stop and think about its truth, it’s life-changing. What if we really did stop worrying about tomorrow and depend upon God for “our daily bread?” It would change everything! How much more peaceful our days would be and joyful our hearts would be. https://www.instagram.com/p/CioPbwWAOUX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.” - Martyn Lloyd-Jones This week we’re starting back to school, getting back into the groove of having a routine and schedule. It’s so easy when the days feel full to forget where the source of our joy is found. It’s found in a person, Jesus Christ - who He is and what He’s done on our behalf. Nothing else will fill our days with as true of a satisfaction as we find in Him. So when the day is racing by and we’re caught up in all of its demands, let’s pause and ask “am I enjoying God today and am I living with Him as the source of my deepest joy?” One glance at Him and everything else is put in its rightful place. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnfBoagm_p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“How much of our fear and anxiety is rooted, not in our circumstances, but in our self-reliance? While the word “Be still” is more forceful than we often imagine, the stillness is still stillness. And have we ever needed stillness before God more than we do in our turbulent age of speed and distraction? Fear and anxiety usually resist stillness and quiet, and especially so today. We don’t want to be left alone to think about the troubles and sorrows in our lives — and so we grab our phones, or watch more Netflix, or turn on some music. Silence often only amplifies fear. Unless the stillness is filled with the confidence of faith.” -Marshall Segal https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzoCxIAsmT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands. -Elisabeth Elliot Waiting on the Lord is one of those things that seems to come up again and again in the Christian life. Sometimes it feels easier than others but I feel like the more time that goes on and the more we see Him work all things according to His perfect wisdom, the more waiting feels like an adventure to watch and see what He is going to do. We’re safe in His hands and He’s never failed us yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/CglAp0NA49u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨New verse design: wallpapers and coloring page download available on the “Treasure The Word” page of our website. This design is a special project we worked on for our friends at @truth78org Truth:78 is the ministry behind Fighter Verses which is really the backbone of Scripture Type. About ten years ago I began drawing the Fighter Verse for each week and putting out free downloads as computer/phone wallpapers for encouragement and Scripture memorization and that is really what led to what we still do today. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf0G-GQAbqW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The quote below was such an encouragement to us today. No matter what life looks like right now or what circumstances you may find yourself in, keep pressing on that you may know Christ more deeply. You will not be disappointed. “The more you know Him, the better you know Him, the more confident you become, the more secure your joy is… Joy is related to your knowledge of God: little knowledge, little joy; much knowledge, much joy. The more you know of God’s glorious truth, of God’s great covenants and promises, of God’s plans, of God’s faithfulness, of God’s power, the more joy you experience in life… Our joy is connected to the goodness of the Lord. And the more you understand His grace and mercy and goodness, the more stable your joy becomes, no matter what circumstances may come.” - John MacArthur https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfp07-6AmJx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been a long time and there’s been a LOT going on personally and with my full-time work that’s made it hard to find time to keep up with Scripture Type. It’s always been a balancing act, but as Carly and I regularly talk about how to prioritize the time we always come back to the importance of prayer and being faithful to what He calls us to each day. I can sometimes feel discouraged by the things that I don’t get to in a day, but God is so faithful to make clear what He requires of us which is simply to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. He has always been faithful to guide our steps and proven over and over to be worthy of our deepest trust. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfiGDKrA7OW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Testing a new process which consists of hand-pouring colored epoxy into the engraving of our designs on salvaged local timber. So far, I’m loving the results of being able to bring out all the natural grain of the walnut wood and still have the focus be the Word. Going to test other colors next, but let me know what you think! https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHUsuBg27i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New verse design ✍🏼 featuring Isaiah 40:8 “Side not with the grass that must wither, for you must wither with it if you take it for your defense. But keep to this grand old Book! Keep the Word of God, for this shall neither wither, nor shall you, if you abide in the living Spirit of God hard and fast by what this Word teaches you.” -Charles Spurgeon https://www.instagram.com/p/CemX4dzA3st/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1 Thessalonians 4:11 has long been a life verse for us. It’s a reminder to us to seek to prioritize our time rightly in light of God’s Word, even when life is full, and to be faithful and work with our whole hearts in all that He’s called us to. We just got a new batch of these shirts in after being sold out for months. They’re printed with super-soft water based inks by our friends at @realthread 🙌🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdrizqEgY17/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This simple, but profound Truth puts so many things into perspective. When we’ve had a long day at work, when we’re reading the news, when we feel discouraged or that all of our labor is in vain, remembering where our treasure is (ultimately, Who our Treasure is) really does change everything. Outside circumstances don’t need to rob us of our joy, our peace, our hope or anything else that Jesus Himself and He alone can supply. When we are truly treasuring Him, everything else starts to fade into its proper place and our hearts are filled with abundant joy, hope and peace. “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbG7dq-goYV/?utm_medium=tumblr

“There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man’s faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.” -Martyn Lloyd-Jones https://www.instagram.com/p/CaTU-8rgLlB/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God.

We’ve been freshly reminded lately of how important and what a privilege it is to memorize Scripture as a family, to have God’s Word hidden in our hearts. We’re thankful for the encouragement of our church to be memorizing verses each week following along with @fighter_verses and also for the reminders of why we memorize Scripture and how vital it is for encouraging one another and in our fight against sin and temptation. These verses in Philippians come to mind often ever since we memorized them together as a family when our now 9-year-old daughter was 3. We still regularly encourage each other with these verses in various situations and it’s just as true now as it was then that the time spent memorizing God’s Word together is time well spent. ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CaOPdiZAnam/?utm_medium=tumblr
