There can be a number of factors related to what may

Sometimes a poetic allusion can be obscure or not be as accessible from culture to culture.  This may be related to limited exposure through education, or background.  Some professors in colleges and universities may go off and do their own thing, or pluck out s…[Read more]

I think that’s a great question, and one every writer/artist should probably ask themselves at some point or the other.  I think the most important thing to remember is who it brings glory to–ourselves or God?  I believe God wants us to be creative and make things–He gave us that ability.  But He also wants us to gi…[Read more]

It is not an either or thing.  It’s not an:”If I serve God, do I have to give up my enjoyment of creativity?”

If an individual puts an activity above worshiping God as a Church (Sunday’s for most people) by performing that activity instead of attending…[Read more]
