Notes from pastor brian

Art is fearlessness or rather courage in the face of fear.
Artists have this in common with children- they learn to play in the face of fear.
To create is to be vulnerable.

There was a moment when we looked at someone's creation and said 'art is not my thing'-we felt inadequate.
Artists say no to that idea. They say no to the pressure. We were designed for risk.
God did not design us to be afraid. Sin and loss of innocence has brought in fear.
As soon as we lower risk in one area we heighten risk in another.(example- more people die walking within MARKED crosswalks then people walking within UNMARKED crosswalks)

why is it that when two wonderful forms of art come together it is better?
We may be able to go to the sculptor and thank him for his magnificent work...but who made the materials? Who gave him the ability?
To whom do I go when I watch a sunset? When I stand on the edge of the grand canyon?

Only God can create out of nothing. He also was the first to create out of His own creation. He planted the garden.

Artists remind u to play in the face of pain.
