• This is great. I love the expression that Jesus is Lord over our whole life, that the whole man is redeemed. I admit that I have often struggled with the concept of "spiritual vs natural." It is spiritual vs carnal, but that is dealing with the sinful nature.

    Many are concerned with entertainment in the church, and I understand that concern. However, when we realize that the prophets were often "dramatists" in the way they communicated the Word of the Lord, we can appreciate their eloquence and artistry as they served Him.

    Then there is Bezaleel in Exodus 31:2, who was one of the first people of whom God said He "filled with the Spirit of God." His gift was to work with gold, silver, wood, precious stones to create what might be called "works of art," that were used in worship.
