Bible Note: Hank I believe that it is good to remember not to completely discard the thought of religious art, all together. Just as the choir is able to worship and praise God with their human talents, an artist can also do the same - as can/should all of us through all of the talents we possess. However, if your talent is auto mechanics, it is recommended that you not demonstrate your talents during Sunday services. I remember one time I was in a museum and I saw a painting reflecting one of the saints and the torture he experienced. I had heard the story before but did not give it serious thought. Through the talents of this artist, I was visually seeing the suffering another man experienced on behalf of God. Humble is not adequate to describe how I felt to better realize the physical sufferings which this and many other Christians of all denominations had experienced for God. Through the use of his talents, this artist helped me in my relationship with God. Much in the same manner as when I read Paul and see his incredible ability to paint an image with words about the sufferings of Jesus. Brian |
