The Dream (art and the church)

"May the dream never die that some day, when people want to go and find the most moving and excellent art, they will go to the church. I am so convinced that we've only just begun to tap into some of the improvisational sounds that can be created in the presence of God. These are the sounds the world can't touch, yet will be drawn to." Tommy Walker, Jazz Fusion guitarist, Theologian and worship leader

Art

'Art addresses us in the fullness of our being....There are some truths about life that can be expressed only as stories or songs or images.  Art awakens, enlarges, refines, and restores our humanity.'  Poet Dana Gioia

The Dangers of this century

"In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which
confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation
without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell."
William Booth

We Are Part of Something BIG!
