"People of this world do not understand our Christian language. How can we speak to them in a way they will understand? People of this world do not think it is necessary to believe. How can we get past their defenses to get to their hearts? The world, in trying to sell its philosophies, understands one thing we forgot. A person won't believe something until it speaks to his feelings and his spirit. The media uses what they know about how the mind works and the power of the arts, drama, photography, film, dance, story-telling etc. to speak to people and sell us whatever they want." (excerpt from In Defense for the Christian Arts) The Arts originally started in the church. I believe the church has become afraid of the Arts. We need to teach the church, not say the 'Arts are corrupt', or 'stay away' or 'you can't be an artist and a Christian'. Rather, if the arts are corrupt, let's redeem them and use them as a source of healing and a tool for evangelism.
