don't look at me
so i've been reading a lot today...sitting in meetings and between meetings that don't really concern me, just my presence..and I don't mind...I like multi tasking and the great thing about doing it at work is there is no one out to sabotage you or test you to see if you're paying attention...people are more concerned with getting their point out there rather than you understanding it. maybe not? im a cynic. yeah.
so i was reading these articles on RELEVANTMAGAZINE.com just now: Re-Fusing Form & Content & Casting Out The Demons In Art I really feel like this is what i was suppose to read today. This is the underlying melody of an anthem that has been lying dormant in my chest for a long time.
I think I try to talk myself out of how i really am under my skin. i long to create just for the sake of worship, not evangelism. but i think the one leads to the other...for too long i've had the mindset of: write a worship song or do some christian art for the sake of perhaps drawing someone near to Christ by my creativity...note the not so subtle self gratification that comes from this mode of operation. its selfish.
why not do what my heart longs to do? why not create for God and God alone...sure there is a place for using my talents to serve my church and Gods people but i think if truly just worship god through my love of music, art, design, film and not really have this underlying scheme of evangelism or communicating a message over or under the art itself it could be something great. it could touch people more than the message ever could. i believe this...
any thoughts?
