 One World Under God
by Renee Harms
Okay, I confess. I am "politically challenged." I know, that's a little risky to admit in the midst of a heated presidential campaign, but it's true. Politics just does not run in my blood, it doesn't jive with my thinking, it doesn't tug at my passions.
And yet this year it's hard not to be political. I don't know if you've noticed, but there's an unusually intense push to make our voices heard at the voting polls this election season. That in itself has plagued my conscience. But perhaps more importantly, I am becoming increasingly aware of some of the issues that may affect the religious and moral fate of my country. Issues like the marriage amendment, or the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Though the privilege is sometimes taken for granted (as evidenced in my earlier confession), as Americans we have the opportunity of being involved in and actually influencing our government. As Christians, we have the privilege of involving God in those political decisions. But how do Christians respond to a country that is becoming increasingly anti-Christian?

Oxygen Preaching Graphics 8 hits the shelves!
Another quarter has passed and we are excited to announce that our fall installment of Oxygen Preaching Graphics has been released.
Here's a glimpse of what you'll find on Volume 8: topical graphics like Dependence and Peer Pressure, biblical scenes from Daniel and the story of David and Goliath, and even a few politically relevant images. We have also continued to design a few graphics inspired by worship songs such as Awesome God and As the Deer.
Oxygen is proud to announce that we have been endorsed by MediaShout and Sunday Plus. With Volume 8 we introduce an expanded and improved version of our Sermon Design Center that is perfect for PowerPoint users as well as worship software fans.

Creating the illusion of motion in Powerpoint
By: Vince Williams
This month we are going to let you in on a little trick using some of the Oxygen library images. The Heart of Stone and Heart of Flesh graphics from Volume 8 are examples of specially designed images that give you the opportunity to create the illusion of motion in PowerPoint for a nice visual effect. (The following technique also works with Cross02 and Jesus On Cross from Volume 2 and the Easter Collection.)
To create this effect:
1. Insert the two slides into PowerPoint onto the same background, using any of the five compositions.
2. Insert your text on each slide. You can keep the text the same on the two slides if you want to enhance the effect (as shown below).
3. Click the heading Slideshow>>>Slide Transition and choose the Wipe effect. Choose either left or right, then set the speed to the desired effect. I generally prefer slow for maximum effect.
4. Finally, watch the slide show unfold as it appears that the heart of stone has been transformed into flesh.
I hope you will find this tutorial useful for an upcoming sermon. Watch for more congruent sets in future volumes of Oxygen.
