God Is Far From Bland!

We must not allow what I call the blandizing of our God. Over and over again when people see my banners, they say, “I didn’t know what I was hungry for in worship until I saw your banners.” Why are people repeatedly moved to say this? It’s what happens when people see beauty that awakens in them the visceral experience that the Kingdom of God truly exists. When the God-famished heart sees that beauty, it comes conscious to its own longings and to the source of life behind all that is beautiful: the Creator. Beauty is the resonance of the reality of God, that He does exist, that His Way is utterly fitting, astoundingly right, true, good, and perfect, and completes all that we need.
