Too often, Christian artists hear spiritual tropes that are long on theory, but short on practice. In our inaugural lecture of CFW's new Faith & Art Lecture series, artist and pastor Vito Aiuto expounds three modes of vision that engender artistic excellence for the person of faith.
Praise Jesus. I am only a few minutes into this lecture and it is so beautiful I am getting goosebumps. Thanks for this.
This is incredible! As a child, I was very creative and right brain but through education and so on, I was forced into a mold of left brain, mathematical... mostly because I thought that is how you show you are clever and you have potential. Many years ago, God has started to lead me to study theology and teach the Bible, which I did, completely forgetting my arty side. New few years, ago, I picked up the brush again and started painting and I realize there is a depth in my heart when I paint and it connects me with the Holy Spirit... Now, that you say that artists should be theologians, it makes so much more sense... Thank you for the confidence and the boldness in which you carry your message...
I'm so grateful for you sharing this message because I have been struggling spiritually in life and with myself as an artist, trying to figure out if or how my work does or doesn't honor the Lord.
One of the best talks/sermons I've heard. 💖🙏
"It's a talk I never wanted to give - ever." .................Gives the talk.
Amen Amen and Amen!!
great sermon. in depth and and thoughtful. great job man! this has really helped me think about this in a new way, and the fact that other Christians are struggling with this is a comfort to me. Its crazy, we are Creations of the Ultimate Creator, God.
God forgive me for my dark art. Not creating is torture. God give me a creative outlet that matters and will make a difference..🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What a beautiful sermon.💖
This did my heart good today.
Wow.... this was amazing. Just what Jesus needed me to hear
Excellent sermon.

17:25 There is s difference between voluntary, faith-based Christianity and magic. A person who, voluntarily becomes a faith-based Christian humbly asks for the miraculous blessings of his Heavenly Father through the personal act of prayer.
On the other hand, a person who voluntarily practices magic commands miracles to happen; there is no "asking" involved. As a person cannot command any miracle to happen, supposedly competent magicians always depend on fraudulent trickery and the practiced art of sleight-of-hand to fool people into thinking that the magician himself controls the elements.
I've just started watching, so maybe he will touch on this as it goes on, but why on earth would anyone - especially a follower of the ultimate Creator/Artist - view talking about art and faith together as being "obscene" or pointless?
What is important to talk about according to churchy status quo? How about: conformity, rules, fitting in, bureaucracy, institutions,administration, credentialization, hierarchy, authority, privacy. Are these things Jesus would find conducive to his ministry?

I feel like this is wrong somehow
It indeed is. There were nuggets of promise, but the foundation was unsound. It sounded magical until the knowledge of self was exalted above the others. That was a dead giveaway of the counterfeit. Also, we find God in His Word and in relationship with Him, and in relationship with others. Finally, God does not call us to harmonize the good and evil within us. He calls us to repent and be made perfect in Him. Our life and art will flow out of that. May the truth find you.
@@LISLOVESTRUTH thank you so much dude. May God bless you and all of your family for your wisdom, courage, and love for the word
Who is this speaking?
doesn't deuteronomy talk about how we shouldn't make likenesses of anything on earth water or in the heavens
yes it does, but the context is important to understanding the text. Hopefully that will be the same of the art that is made too.
Yea, with the intent to worship them. If just stopping at not making any image were true, then God went back on his word when he gave design instructions for the temple.
