Free to Create

Live creatively, friends.
Galatians 6:1, The Message

"I believe that we are made in the image of God and that because God is a creator, we are creators.

Our early experience often does not encourage that. We are instructed to stay within the lines. In school and church, at home and at work, we are handed someone else's outline and told to learn, pray, play, work -- whatever -- within it. The intimidation is appallingly successful.

In Christ we are set free to create. He sets us free to live -- toward God, with people, in the world -- as artists, not as copiers. He sets us free to use the stuff that God gives us to live something original."
