Session 3 Highlights and More
Rise,
People of love rise
Give yourself away
This was definitely the message of the afternoon.
Robbie, Nancy and Brian certainly encouraged us to live beyond ourselves. To pay attention to the world around us and to use our resources and our art to champion the causes of the invisible and to bring to light injustice as well as beauty.
For me personally, this has been a message God has brought into a new light over the past few years. In April, author and speaker, Lynne Hybels wrote the lead article for EQUIP about how artists can change the world, “We who are entrusted with the gifts of words or melody or film or dance or paint, are also entrusted with a responsibility. To look unflinchingly at reality. To discern truth. To let both the beauty and tragedy of the world break open our hearts. And ultimately, to let God use this process to change us, so that we can in turn become God’s humble, yet bold, agents of change in the world he loves so much.”
How have you been living out Micah 6: 8, “To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. “
What examples of art have you seen that are shining a light on truth and calling us to bring His kingdom here on earth?
