Art Is. An old joint from 2003 that I recently re-discovered..

 

Art is

 Art is subjective
         Art is objective
            Art can objectify
               Art can glorify
            Art is political
         Art can be Spiritual
Art is Alive

Art moves, takes different shapes and grows. Art breathes and gives the breath of life.
   Art can speak volumes, in total silence, yet says a thousand different things to a thousand different people

      Art is everywhere, though some try to contain it in ugly buildings and make you pay to see it.
         Art tends to show up in the strangest places.
             Art is young, yet old.
   Art practices situational ethics, becoming different things at different times, making statements that change with its surroundings

Art is Wisdom Art has heart. Art keeps its fingers on the pulse of the world. Art is too complex for me to understand, yet simple enough for my daughter to grasp in her little hands.

Art is love and is loved, Art is hate and is hated. Art is a walking contradiction, and Art would have it no other way.

Art allows itself to be defined and categorized, in order to help you understand, (or so you think). Art defies conventions, exceeds expectations, prompts speculation, and destroys traditions (though Art itself can be traditional).

I am an Artist, but I do not understand Art, and Art is cool with that.

"Pope and Change"

A Facebook friend wondered aloud how Pope Francis got to be Pope in light of comments like this: "We have created New idols. worship of the ancient golden calf has returned in a new and ruthless guise in the idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a truly human purpose. The worldwide crisis affecting finance and the economy lays bare their imbalances and, above all, their lack of real concern for human beings."   - Pope Francis I responded thus: "He became Pope the same way that Barack Obama became President. He's ethnically 'new', with clever words and expressed sentiments, that sound like a breath of fresh air, but underneath the same old gears are operating the same old machine. In a few years, the Hope and Change Pope will have the same level of disappointment among those who really care as the Hope and Change President. Mark my words. He will do nothing doctrinally or otherwise to move the Lying Behemoth ...

Examining the tithe

Blessings to you dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to read the following. It is my prayer that it will edify, and bring clarity, and provoke thought and a closer walk with our Savior. Please note that wherever scripture is quoted, it is taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) In His service, Pastor.ctj One of the most heavily debated doctrines of the modern church is the doctrine of the tithe. Many Christians generally accept that the law of tithing, as other Jewish laws, was abolished upon Jesus' crucifixion, when he fulfilled the Old Testament law. For the most part, Christians do not follow Jewish community laws such as the extensive dietary restrictions in the Old Testament, for example, and tithing was part of that group of laws. Others believe that because Jesus spoke about tithing, he was instructing his followers to continue the practice, and for many, not only is the tithe still an active doctrine, it is proof of one’s commitment to God. The doct...
