Art by its creative nature must always seek the new, the fresh, and push back the outer limits. Therefore the artist is often in danger of crossing the line into error but without the freedom of the artist, we are already captured by the dead form that has no life. When the church has returned to true worship, true art will have also been recovered and promoted by the church as one form of that worship. This is an art which transcends glorifying the creation to that which imparts awe and wonder of the blessed Creator that is reflected through the wonders of His creation. The Lord Jesus said that the publicans and the harlots would enter the kingdom of God before the Pharisees and other most righteous men in Israel. The religious spirit that has worked in the prevailing religion of that day was further from the heart of God than many of the greatest sinners of the land. It is because of this that the Lord is going to raise up Christian leaders with the vision to recapture true art for the church which is the rightful property of the church! These will have to brave brutal assaults from religious paranoids, but the domain that is retaken will be worth the price.
