‘When our unique gift to be creative is separated from our burning desire to know the Creator, we begin to lose ourselves. We may still have the capacity to create beautiful things, but the source of all creativity becomes distant to us……’
To become a God Artist is to become a world changer. To be at the forefront of our artistic medium is to bring about influence on a global scale. As creative people, we can choose to model ourselves after God – the greatest artist of all, or we can choose to simply follow the crowd. When we try to emulate what works in our worldly culture, we become lemmings, not leaders – artists who do not rustle the waters, when what we should be, is a people who make the waves.
