...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.

The soul is not more important than the body. God made the whole man and the whole man is important.

How should an artist begin to do his work as an artist? I would insist that he begin his work as an artist by setting out to make a work of art.

No work of art is more important than the Christian's life, and every Christian is called to be an artist in this sense... The Christian's life is to be a thing of truth and also a thing of beauty in the midst of a lost and despairing world.

The beginning of men's rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart.

As Christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true.

Reality is not meant to be only creedal, though the creeds are important. Reality is to be experienced, and experienced on the basis of a restored relationship with God through that finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
