Art is a gift from God, and never has this been more true than with Bezalel, the artist called by God to build the Tabernacle. God called Bezalel and filled him with His Spirit and made him a wise artist at heart. In the same way, God calls all artists to transform their natural talents into supernatural so that they can become wise-hearted like Bezalel.As related in Exodus, after the Israelites left Egypt, they eventually came to Mount Sinai. There, the Lord not only gave Moses tablets of stone with His laws and commandments, but He also instructed that offerings be made and a sanctuary built so that He might dwell among his people. This sanctuary was the Tabernacle-a visible manifestation of the presence of God among his people. But it was not Moses who designed the Tabernacle. Instead, the Lord gave him detailed instructions for its construction, including its dimensions, the specific materials to be used, and even the colors. These instructions were to be followed explicitly-as the Lord said, "According to what I show you, you will do." This approach to art serves as a model for contemporary art projects: God provides the design and instructions, and artists have only to implement them to create works that will impact nations.Though Moses would supervise, the construction of the Tabernacle would fall to the artisan Bezalel, whom the Lord called by name. Bezalel means "shadow of God," and as biblical scholar Edward Ephraim Kalish explains, a man created in the image of God is a man with the ability and the need to create. As a result of this similarity, the artist must reflect the glory of God. In other words, only the artist who loves God and respects His laws can fulfill the commitment to create art for the glory of God. The Lord called others to help Bezalel, including Oholiab and both men and women who were "wise hearted," experts with special abilities, people with great artistic capacity and an artistic spirit filled with wisdom.The first gift that God gave to Bezalel was to fill him with the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God enriched the natural capabilities in Bezalel and transformed them into extraordinary ones. The Lord also gave Bezalel wisdom, the complete vision of the project; understanding, or comprehension of the information, distinguishing or discerning between what is true or false; and knowledge, or the information itself. The fifth gift God gave Bezalel was that of art, or that touch of excellence of the Spirit of God and virtuosity, giving him the ability to do his task with "honor and beauty," and the sixth was that of teaching. When combined with Bezalel's obedience and submission to God's instructions, these gifts were used to build the Tabernacle with a high level of excellence, and the Lord was glorified. The story of the Tabernacle does not end with Bezalel and its construction. The rituals established have transcended generations with a primary purpose: to point to Jesus as the mediator of a new covenant. Ultimately, the story of Bezalel includes the foundation of a possible theology of art, one that proclaims that art is God's will and a gift to humanity, that artists are creators, chosen and called by the Lord. Artists reflect the greatness of God, and consequently, they need to shine and reflect His glory.

Getting to Know God is a unique blend of art and religious thought. Inspired verses from the personal journal of a Charleston artist are joined with biblical quotes and reproductions of her oil paintings. The images embrace the artist's love of nature, celebrating God's creation. Her words express life experiences while exploring the meaning of faith and the glory of God. From reflections on the simple things in life to parenting, praising God, and dealing with anxieties, Getting to Know God is all about gaining a sense of peace by trusting in His love. Now in its second printing, it continues its positive effects on people of all ages. When challenging times demand an oasis of hope, Getting to Know God offers an uplifting visual and emotional experience. "An artist possesses gifts of perception and interpretation. Alice Ann's abilities in this respect are obvious. It is however, her willingness to share her deepest thoughts and meditations, in the context of her own life's journey, that makes her most gracious. Many of us marvel and see the presence and power of God in nature. It is Alice Ann who reminds us, as our Heavenly Father does, to see His majesty in our everyday lives. Allow this artist, daughter, wife, and mother to open your eyes and hearts so that you may seek to truly know God and see all of the majesty and blessings that surround you. For this, I am grateful to Alice Ann, that little gallery on Johns Island tended by her faithful husband, Robert, and their dog, Ben. I am most grateful to our heavenly Father who brought her to us in this book. By the Grace of God indeed." C. Harvey Rice Private Wealth Advisor Charlotte, North Carolina

"[Author] examines recent art, showing that its insignificance is due to the collapse of cultural values. At the same time Christians have lowered their aesthetic standards and failed to interact with contemporary culture. Ours is certainly a time for a response from Christian artist with the highest of aestihtic sensitivity"--Back cover.

Christian artists and creative people often believe that they are less valuable than others in the church. Christ John Otto, founder of Belonging House, explores how relationships with God and with other people give value and dignity to our lives. Mary is the most extraordinary person in the Bible. Through her, God chose to become flesh. And Mary is a model for artists and creative people to participate in God's endless creating. She is the embodiment of the value and honor God places on every human being. This book was written for artists and creative people who are called to impact the culture of this world with the culture of heaven. This impact happens when we become disciples, master copies of the Icon of the Father, Jesus Christ. Mary: Value and Honor is the Blue Book of Poetic Theology of Artists, a series of big ideas that are essential for artists and creative people to function in their role as culture shapers.

Creative outlets can be a source of immense joy and satisfaction in our lives, but the question remains: is creativity something that is innate within us, or must it be learned? God the Artist is a three-part, step-by-step guide to pottery making and how it relates to Christianity. It provides a clear understanding of the references to pottery in the Bible, where they originate from and why they are significant to every Christian’s life. It concisely interprets these pottery references in their original context, while explaining Biblical ceramic symbolism in a conversational way. Through insightful commentary on The Potter's House in Jeremiah 18, as well as other pottery references from the Old and New Testaments, God the Artist proves that all people are inherently creative because all human beings are made in the image of God, the ultimate creator. Each chapter is reinforced with a Creativity Challenge designed to encourage pottery pros, admirers, and anyone seeking to expand their creative capacity and strengthen their spiritual practice, to grow closer to God as they progress on their journey. With the help of this guide, individuals will gain a deeper understanding of the creativity given to them by God and how to use it to honor and glorify Him.

What does God say about the arts? Can you be a Christian and an artist? How do the arts impact your church? The creation sings to us with the visual beauty of God's handiwork. But what of man-made art? Much of it is devoid of sacred beauty and is often rejected by Christians. Christian artists struggle to find acceptance within the church. If all of life is to be viewed as "under the lordship of Christ," can we rediscover what God's plan is for the arts? Philip Graham Ryken brings into sharp focus a biblical view of the arts and the artists who make art for God's sake. This is a concise yet comprehensive treatment of the major issue of the arts for all who seek answers.
