Irresistible Mystery

Kenyon Adams This Easter season we share the benefit of hindsight as we reflect upon Christ's death. We behold the spectacle of God's shameless love, his inordinate response to our need for rescue and reconciliation. And yet, those who were most expectant of a rescue in Jerusalemexperienced instead the disaster of his trial and crucifixion, the scattering of...

Challenging the Darkness

As we discuss how the church can engage an increasingly post-Christian culture in the west, it is helpful to take a step back from our own times and historically examine how Christianity has dealt with cultures that seemed implacably opposed to it. Christianity was never expected to convert the Roman empire; nor was it expected to convert the barbarian tribes after Rom...

Passion for People

Andy Mills answeres the question, "What does it mean to have a meaningful passion with regard to our work?" First, it means that our passion for work is secondary to our passion for Christ. Only then can Jesus truly use us for all his purposes. Next, it means aligning ourselves with God’s reality. We must strive to see people as God see...

Art Illuminates: A Lenten Reflection for the Artist

Kenyon Adams PROLOGUE We must never imagine that art is wholly subject to the fallen mind. On the contrary, the fallen mind must be lifted up in taking in the art.

ACT I Because of the gospel, the artist can delve into the deepest grime of fall...

In The Livingroom: A Seven-Week Faith & Arts Study

Maria Fee Since its inception seven years ago, InterArts Fellowship (IAF) has gathered artists of all disciplines to showcase their work and talk about their faith. While IAF is a dynamic and well-attended quarterly meeting, our artists also felt the need for a more intimate setting to share their faith journeys. This fall we piloted a seven-week art and faith study entit...

Up, Light/Light, Up

The idea of “Christian Art” is a subject that has been continually shrouded with a sense of discord. Few people can reach an agreement on how to define this term, or agree on what type of art this term should define. Yet, for those of us who consider ourselves Christians and who make art (or who participate in the art world in some capacity) it is a phrase we are...

Art Matters for God's Sake

Art is of enormous consequence. It can transform our world. Art has the potential to awaken our imagination and show us worlds that we had not previously dreamed. Art can give us hope when the world seems hopeless. Art provides us with stories through which we make sense of the world. Yet, despite these artistic gifts, artists often go unnoticed by ou...
