Im an artist too in fact i have many artistic talents thx to God i thank him everyday i do my art i get lost in my own creative world its a magical feeling n God is Incredible
As an Artist it is hard to be an artist who expresses their faith in their art, especially as an expressionistic artist. Most secular art galleries don't take religious(Christian) art. Christians and churches don't always buy or support that type of art. I continue to hear God call me to creating this type of art. Thank you for your words of encouragement.
@@Preacher_Henrry Sad, but true. Even when the Bible Tract Society started putting illustrations in gospel tracts they had severe push back from some denominations simply because they had illustrations. We hope our teaching can start to illuminate the truth and free people up to embrace all forms of art.
Richard, my pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Abstract art has a unique place in our culture and time, and can absolutely be used by God. it is very true about mainstream galleries not wanting religious art, but I think there is a growing curiosity. It is also true many Christians and churches don't get abstract art, but I think that is changing. My friend Mako Fujimura is probably a part of that.
@@y.moreno7863 hello, I am sorry to take so long to reply. I don't remember receiving a notification on your reply. I have a blog purplemaizart.wordpress.com, I am on Facebook and Twitter under Richard J Bond Art.
My friend, who was also an Art Major like myself, was just talking about how our professor told us in class how Artist were the first to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Indeed, some times we look back at old creative choices and realize they weren't up to the quality level we should be pursuing as artists, or they fail to fit the purpose for which God gave us our gifts. We need to embrace the freedom in the process, while still being faithful to consider the content and impact our art may have when we are editing/finalizing/producing our art.
Nova, thank you for taking time to comment! it is very encouraging to get comments like yours. Feel free to check out our website for more resources: www.a-e-m.org
Is so nice to see how humans get a piece of God in many ways.. we know God is the 🤴 of art by all He has create animals plants the way He form us is so beautiful those who have the gift of creating... all glory to God🙌🏼
man I stay struggling with music because I want to make rap music but struggle with aspects of making secular music and gospel rap. It's hard to say this but I want to do both without projecting darkness and glorifying light since ik that my true purpose is the give the gospel to people. Your video is definitely helping me come to terms with aspects of creation. I just pray that I keep god at the center of my life and that my art isn't something that makes him angry or hurt because of me.
Trippy, thank you so much for your comment. I am well aware of this issue. I have some good friends in the hIp-hop space. It is a culture bred on bragging, dissing other people and celebrating drugs, etc. BUT, our God is a redeemer of not only individuals but also cultures, and types of art! Please go to our website and join us for our faith and art summit....you will be very encouraged by it. Www.a-e-m.org. also check out our video on Bezalel.
Thank you for sharing this, I am a Christian and I teach art. It is really hard to promote christian art but I will continue to praise God through my arts. It was sad sometimes to see great artist that focuses in other form of art that does not align to God's teaching. This video will encourage me to keep teaching the kind of arts that God wants me to teach. Gob bless your ministry!
Zyct, this is great to hear. If you want to really gain some solid principles for teaching.art.from biblical principles...check out our blogs at www.a-e-m.org, and our online courses! You will be so encouraged
Talent is important, along with pursuing spiritual maturity. Talent alone can lead us to pride in our gifts, instead of humility as we seek to honor God with our life and our art.
The same as honoring God through your life. This looks different depending on whether you are working with an ensemble, in a large production, or in an instance where you have complete creative control.

THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE IN THIS VIDEO 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 IT TOUCHED MY HEART TO KNOW GOD CATES DEEPLY ABOUT ART AND OUR GIFTS DO ART TO REPRESENT HIM 🙌🏽🙌🏽 GLORY TO YAHEW TO YESHUA TO HOLY SPIRIT FOR THIS AMAZING GIFT
wow- expressing the struggle that artists face at the beginning of this video was encouraging-don't find a lot of material that addresses how your relationship with God intersects and informs the creative capacity He's placed in you...and, it often does feel like you're having to choose between "church" and "art"...i enjoy the privilege of getting to play on worship teams, but i also find it musically unsatisfying a lot of the time because of how limited your contribution can be in it because you're playing other people's stuff, etc...but, it's equally difficult to get people's support for work you do that is a "fuller" expression of what many years of creating/practicing, etc have brought out...i wish i knew how to reconcile a lot of this...
Steve, thank you for your response. You got it! We need to regain a healthy view of the arts within the church. As a jazz musician, I get so tired of all the 'cover tune' bands leading worship. The performance may be solid, but the creativity is not, and the option to use other talent in the pew never occurs - because the original music doesn't have a violin, clarinet, sax or flute. Pastors are understandably more fearful of risk in the area of worship so they often prefer the 'cover band' option. They don't realize that real players are bored with the worship the way a great speaker would be bored with a sermon that isn't fresh and new. Thanks for taking time to comment. Blessing.
I wish how to connect faith and art, giving faith first place of course. God bless, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, at the foot at the cross of Calvary, amen and hallelujah! Annelies Bakker, the Netherlands.
Those are good concerns to have. Take some time to articulate and write down what your desires are, and what you mean by glorifying God....and then assess where your talents and skills are. Our online calling course can walk you through more of this. a-e-m.org/the-artists-calling-online-course. Glorifying God can be done in countless ways. It can be through art that explicitly talks about God, but it can also be done implicitly. Watch more of our videos and sign up for our newsletter to get regular blogs and devotionals to encourage you in your journey.
Absolutely. God gave us a sense of humor, irony, satire, etc. I have spoken on this but haven't done any videos on it. You can check out our blog for other content: www.a-e-m.org.
Read the second the second commandment. Art and sculptures is not of God.don't let the deceiver convince you otherwise read the whole commandment and you will understand and are willing to please God because he loves you and you love him. He will fill your life with other things that are more important , art will no longer mean nothing to you.
Elsa, please watch our video on the 2nd Commandment to get clarity. The actual context is critical, and the fact that God commanded an artist to create art from the same Mt. Sinai where he gave Moses the Ten Commandments is profound. ruclips.net/video/IZcZV4AJ7po/видео.html
God is a creator. He is creative, there for, he is an artist. And because of that It only makes me love God more.
Indeed.

Richard Bond i would love to see your art . Do you have any links ? God bless
Richard Bond this is true. I draw biblical cartoon illustrations and have noticed that few people find interest in it. It can be discouraging.

I deleted a couple songs: but my father blessed me with talent. Now i happily create the music i want freely.

Another thing to add is God is already an artist, we are made in his image and that means we are all artists.
Taylor, that is true indeed. we have another video about being made in his image - or the Imago Dei.ruclips.net/video/sC15QImVxT4/видео.html
This was super encouraging! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Father God blessed me with talent. I’m using it

Hi! I'm currently a youth struggling my artstyle for God's glory. I want an artwork to glorify God and not only my own desires.

Thanks. Will do.
I want to know if God cares about comedy
Absolutely. God gave us a sense of humor, irony, satire, etc. I have spoken on this but haven't done any videos on it. You can check out our blog for other content: www.a-e-m.org.
My art contains montrous creatures, fictional animals, characters, and scifi related things, am I wrong?
Not necessarily. The question is context. Take a look at Tolkien and C.S.Lewis.
It is better to ge a christian who happens to be an artist
Indeed. We are Christians first. Our occupations and pursuits are secondary.

God is not condemning art, he is condemning idolatry
art does not mean idolatry. It's one thing to create something. It's another thing to worship what you create.
I'd rather die than to never make art again what kind of God would ban you from making a drawing or picture
Amen Bailujen
