random musing

"Most Christians today have one of two responses to the subject of art. They either know nothing about it — hence, they care not a wit about it — or what they do know about today's art world is repugnant to them. As a result, they are openly hostile to the cultural domain of the arts. This circumstance is both understandable and tragic.

But Christians must not run and hide from art — we must not totally abandon the art-driven cultural domains. We should take up the challenge of involving ourselves in the world of art while striving to build and to hold a biblical foundation for working in its arena of life and influence. Christians need to wisely enter the powerfully influential arts arena and ask God for the grace and wisdom to live as gospel carriers there, too. We can do this. And it would be a great encouragement to our children to see and to hear us do this."

A hearty "amen" to Mr. Hurd's thoughts. We, as Christians, have avoided art for so long we have forgotten the link it holds to our Creator. God, the Master Artist, creates beauty and beautiful things scream in worship.
