Art as an
expression of worship...
For centuries man has expressed himself in various art forms and mediums. However, man can become so impressed with his own art, that he worships either the art itself, or the human artist who made the expression. Art makes a great expression of worship, but an insufficient object of worship. Just as man is an artistic expression himself, the things man creates are expressions of art, and are the result of being one of God's masterpieces himself. God created man with the appreciation and ability for enjoying and creating art of all kinds. All works of art produced by man are renditions and continuations of the real art produced by God on the canvas of creation and nature. Man is simply a brush in the hand of the master painter, or the camera lens that accurately captures the beauty it sees. Art that expresses something beyond itself, an idea, a truth, a reality, a person, place, a moment, is art that captivates and inspires. Art that captivates and inspires man to worship the creator God is the fullest expression art can attain. For it encourages us into a relationship with the artist of our souls. |
