6.9.22 讓美辭湧出 Let the Pleasing Theme Overflow

藝術是上帝給人類的獨特禮物，是我們內心的外在表達。 正如查克·科爾森所說，“我們定義藝術的方式具有塑造我們文化的力量。我們聽的音樂，我們在腦海中植入的圖像，我們講述的故事——所有這些都對我們 的人有著巨大的影響。 它們都表達和塑造了我們的信念和價值觀。” 不幸的是，對於現代教會來說，藝術也是一個未知的領域，因此我們年輕人所選擇的音樂、歌詞和視頻並沒有激發對主的敬畏和愛。

“每個基督徒家庭都可以讓家成為培養藝術和文化的地方。當孩子們被最好的音樂、藝術和文學所包圍時，他們長大後就會學會欣賞最好的東西。”

寇爾森

我們迫切需要在我們的下一代中培養好的藝術，這樣他們的心就會“湧出美辭並為王朗誦「他們」的詩章, 使「他們」的舌頭成為敏捷文士的手筆！“

The arts are God’s unique gift for mankind, an outward expression of our hearts. As Chuck Colson said, “The way we define art has the power to shape our culture. The music we listen to, the images we plant in our minds, the stories we tell—all have enormous power over the kind of people we are. They both express and shape our beliefs and values.” Unfortunately, the arts are also an uncharted territory for the modern day church, and therefore it is not uncommon that the music, lyrics, and videos that are selected do not inspire the awe and love of the Lord in our young people.

“Every Christian family can make the home a place where art and culture are nurtured. When children are surrounded by the best in music, art, and literature, they grow up learning to appreciate the best.”

Chuck Colson

We desperately need to cultivate good art in our next generation so their hearts will “overflow with a pleasing theme and address their verses to the king, so their tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe!”
