Biblically speaking the making of art
is not an option but a command.
Harold Best
God is an artist and he is beautiful. He has woven his image into the fabric of our lives, which explains our drive to create things which are beyond us and which we don't always understand. Perhaps more important, he has issued a call to us that carries with it the possibility of obedience or disobedience: the call to respond to his beauty with creative worship. God calls us to create a space in time for ourselves and others to meet with God, to gaze upon his beauty and to worship him.
Michael Card
Oh, I love the term 'creative worship'! I've been planning some of that for myself today. I do find that nature and art calm the soul and are, indeed, expressions of God.
