Issue 3
Welcome back to the 3rd issue of The Art Newsletter
Section 1 - grounding
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand
Good things come in 3s, such is the nature of the 3rd issue of our publication. During my conversations with many of you (now new) fans of this newsletter I have come to see the spirit of trust that resides in so many of you. The spirit that understands creation is about trust, God trusted (sadly) humanity to follow the orders and decrees he had placed before us. We as humans consistently break that trust, but I believe that the biggest leap of faith for the Christian artist is telling God you trust that he will supply you through the art he has steeped into our minds. This is a sentiment that I aspire to receive and am continuously receiving from each and every one of you who reaches out to me. The trusting of God into the vast world of art reminds me of this verse "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." The pattern of this world is to break down artists so much that they believe that they must subjugate themselves to lives they don't want to live simply to fit within the capitalistic framework of modern society, growing up we all heard "okay but what are you going to do to make money." Rejecting that notion and going out and building something for yourself is testing God's will for you on this earth, which is already done in heaven.

"Shadowless Church", officially named the Sino-French Science Park Church, is a minimalist 65-square-meter architectural installation located in the Pengshan District of Meishan City, near Chengdu, China.
We have launched this playlist to feature non standard, undervalued, and rare pulls from modern/contemporary christian music. Genre-less and updated weekly. Read about the methodology here.
Section 4 - action
There is a cost to making something honest, and it does not disappear just because the work is done for God. We are a team of college students and young professionals who believe in our mission of showcasing contemporary Christian arts the world.
If that means something to you, become a paid member here, it costs little and it gives much.
Thank you and God Bless,
