Encouraged, We Recognise The Importance

It Is True That All Men Are Created In The Image Of God, But Christians Are Supposed To Be Conscious Of That Fact, And Being Conscious Of It Should Recognize The Importance Of Living Artistically, Aesthetically, And Creatively, As Creative Creatures Of The Creator. If We Have Been Created In The Image Of An Artist, Then We Should Look For Expressions Of Artistry, And Be Sensitive To Beauty, Responsive To What Has Been Created For Us

Is A Christian- One Who Communicates Daily With The Creator- To Divorce Himself From The Things God Created And Intended Man To Have, And Which Demonstrate The Fact That Man Has Been Made In The Image Of God? In Other Words, Are We Who Have Been Made In The Image Of Our Creator To Be Less Creative Than Those Who Do Not Know The Creator? The Christian Should Have More Vividly Expressed Creativity In His Daily Life.

Our Personal Afflictions Involve The Living God; The Only Way In Which Satan Can Persecute Or Afflict God Is Through Attacking The People Of God. The Only Way We Can Have Personal Victory In The Midst Of These Flying Arrows Raining Down On Us Is To Call Upon The Lord For Help. It Is His Strength, Supplied To Us In Our Weakness, That Makes Victory After Victory Possible.

Human Beings Are Very Unbalanced And Prone To Go Off On Tangents. In Every Area Of Life- With Too Great Emphasis On One Thing, Leaving Out Another Important Thing Altogether. None Of Us Will Ever Be Perfectly Balanced In Our Spiritual Lives, Our Intellectual Lives, Our Emotional Lives, Our Family Lives, In Relationships With Other Human Beings, Or In Our Business Lives. But We Are Challenged To Try, With The Help Of God. We Are Meant To Live In The Scriptures.

There Are Various Art Forms We May Or May Not Have Talent For, May Or May Not Have Time For, And We May Or May Not Be Able To Express Ourselves In, But We Ought To Consider This Fact-that Whether We Choose To Be An Environment Or Not, We Are. We Produce An Environment Other People Have To Live In. We Should Be Conscious Of The Fact That This Environment Which We Produce By Our Very 'being' Can Affect The People Who Live With Us Or Work With Us.
