- Let's face it, a lot of Christian art is admittedly bad. But why is that? Well today, we are going to talk about that and go over how Christian artists can avoid the same trap.

Very good analysis! As an artist myself, I’m really glad you mentioned that the act of creating art itself is a reflection of God. Very encouraging!
One thing that is detrimental in this argument is the stance of "the church's mission to get people to pray the sinner's prayer". I think that is very flawed and leads people astray by thinking they prayed one prayer in their life and they're good with Jesus. The church's mission is to "go out into all the world and MAKE DISCIPLES". That's a continual action. Teaching, encouraging, admonishing, and warning every man to place their full faith in Christ alone and walk beside them and teach them how to keep the faith until the end. The goal is not for people to say a prayer one time, the goal is to get people to truly believe with their hearts and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is LORD
Fruits of the spirit first, the rest will come after.
Best explanation I have ever heard for why modern Christian music pales in comparison to the old hymns as well. Explained so well, thanks.
They didn't just want to make music that glorified God. They wanted to good music.
This is awesome! I'm going to be talking to the elementary kids in leadership roles in their group at my church, so thank you for the thoughts and examples!
This is why someone needs to make a movie out of Augustine's Confessions.
This is SOOOOOOO TRUE. Especially with Christian MUSIC. I find myself just listening to 1 artist over and over because EVERYTHING sounds EXACTLY the same, or it's copying the world with Christian lyrics.
Well put, although I really dislike the label Christian artists (or Christian construction companies etc) Beauty is as beauty does.
Thank you for this! Well said!
So true, men of God. Love from Mozambique
This reminds me of someone asking how we can have Good Christian movies.
Turns out it has to do with Protestant Culture as they noted they didn't see these problems or it's far less in Christian Films outside the Anglo sphere.
One has to do with how Art is seen as means to an end to spread the message, disregarding the story.
The other is other more American Protestant problems like avoiding Emotional tensions in the story.
Really good take! I couldn't agree more.
The "sinner's prayer" = the goat prayer. it is the prayer of the modern Pharisee.--- How about "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you ..."
Any mistakes will from a sin....what do you think.....

What is Christian Art? Is that based on history or texts from the Bible? Or is it much more extensive. Can a work of art, a painting that you enjoy and perhaps not a Biblical subject also be Christian art? I think yes. In Protestant churches, at least in the Netherlands, you still see relatively little art. Fortunately, things are changing. This is not an indictment because it has a history like most cultural expressions. I will not tell the European history, but in the Middle Ages where there was a lot of art to no art at all in the church, at least in the Netherlands this is the case. As the Dutch proverb says, the baby has been thrown out with the bath water. I know that God loves art otherwise he would not have surrounded his temple (in the old testament) with art. I enjoy seeing and creating art.
Wow!
I am a christian and a lifelong artist. I even too fine art in college. I don't believe in christian art or prophetic art ir whatever is practiced during worship services and calles that. I know artists who are also christian. What is the point of this talk. Are you saying that christian art is bad or are you saying practicing making art in church is bad?
Christ said that the only thing we'll be judged on is our compassion. He gave two commandments: love and honor God, and love your neighbor.
It was more like to love each other. Imagine if we did follow our route to love each other. This world will be completely different.
He said to give your money to the church so that they can spend it on theme self like we see with this fake Pastos
