Thursday, March 5, 2009 ( Imagine ) (This is in view of Steve Turners' book 'Imagine', a vision for Christians and the arts) " When Christians think of the arts as something that can be used to win the world to Christ, they create an unrealistic expectation of the arts and put unfair pressure on artists. Christian songwriters are automatically expected to write "Christian songs." But what constitutes a "Christian song"?" The use of Jesus, Lord, God? And thus is what i'm trying to learn as well in art school. Do i NEED to paint a cross to visually communicate Christ, the crucifix and salvation? Or could I portray a grotesque picture/video to portray the total depravity of man? Often, i find myself struggling to put my faith and studies together. It seems to be separate. Just like how we define 'secular job' and 'full-time ministry'. Are they really separate? How are we able to be totally relevant all the time without 'painting a cross' all the time? U2 is such a band. Let us learn from Jesus, who was viewed as 'too secular' by the 'pastors, elders and deacons' of His time. :) For more of the lyrics of this song just google... @ 1:40 AM by MaRia 4 comments |
