Creativity in the Church
The very nature of God, our Father, is shown to us in the first book of the Bible, Genesis. It is the very heart of the Father to create. You can almost always tell something about someone by first impressions and the first thing we see is God creating. He said and it was.
If the one of the main purposes of the church is to develop a Christlikeness in people, then we must realize that also includes the desire to create. Man in his very nature longs to create as well as to have dominion over all things. The church must then restore the concept of creativity in the church and encourage creativity. Christians, like our Father, should be the most creative people on earth. Instead, the secular world seems to have some of the best musicians, the most creative music, and some of the most creative art. And until the church returns to it’s “roots” of creativity it will remain so.
The people don’t exist for the church. The church exists for the people and we often spend more time trying to gather people into our meetings instead of giving them away and releasing them into their own gifting, what ever it may be, and allow them to produce fruit for the Kingdom.
John 12:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
God Bless,
