A Chief protects his own

Young people attending the Latin Mass, the Mass of All Ages, the Catholic Mass.

They were just praying. 

It has been 70 years since the start of the Korean War - and when persecution of Christians in North Korea dramatically started to increase.

1. You have to do something to prove who you are. (Genesis 3:5, Matthew 4:3)

2. You didn’t hear God correctly/you have the wrong information. (Genesis 3:1, Matthew 4:8-9)

Your art is already inspired by the great creator. Yes, it should have Christian values behind it but it doesn’t have to be put in that category. It doesn’t even need to have crazy themes behind it like C. S. Lewis’ writing does. You can write stories of redemption and adventure without making the main character into a Christian. You can paint inspired pictures of loss and suffering. You can act in a play that isn’t about God.

God is in every aspect of your life already and you can create so many things in His name. But you don’t have to restrict yourself to only making art that’s explicitly “Christian”. Every single piece of art you make can be made with God in mind and can be made for His glory. Be expressive, talk about your struggles, write about the high points and show people your failures.

Create in His name. He takes unimaginable pride in what His artists create. Because He is the great creator, and He is in everything we do.

Create your own art, no matter what form or genre. And, of course, never be afraid to tell people what inspires you. Essentially, just don’t let yourself be put into a bubble that constricts you from your full creative freedom.
