“…human creativity is supremely about sharing through the Spirit in the creative purpose of the Father as he draws all things to himself through his Son”
“Self-deception is the enemy of wholeness because it prevents us from seeing ourselves as we really are. It covers up our lack of growth in the Spirit of the truthful One and keeps us from coming to terms with our real personalities.”
“If the opening chapters of Genesis portray God as a creative artist, then it only stands to reason that the people he made in his image will also be artists. Art is an imaginative activity, and in the act of creating, we reflect the mind of our Maker.”
“But unless we are creators we are not fully alive. What do I mean by creators? Not only artists, whose acts of creation are the obvious ones of working with paint or clay or words. Creativity is a way of living life, no matter our vocation or how we earn our living. Creativity is not limited to the arts, or having some kind of important career.”
“When Christians criticize, carp, and complain but offer no alternatives, the world rolls its eyes, snickers, and moves on. It is really only when we offer a ‘more excellent way’ that we command or deserve much attention.”
“The bigger the change we hope for, the longer we must be willing to invest, work for, and wait for it.”
“Let’s start seeing creativity as an investment rather than a cost.”
“The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.”
Play is an activity we engage in for its own sake—because we love it. Because it feels good. Because it brings us joy
“Since we were made to glorify God, worship happens when someone is doing exactly what he or she was made to do.”
