Self Ain't Much To Discover


I Corinthians 2-6

“I (Paul) do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children… Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 
I Corinthians 4:14; 3:16

What is the greatest sin of the American believer?  We have forgotten our first Love so that our temple is hollow and our dwelling cold.  We are trying to fill it with wealth. 

Art is the same way.  As artists we have forgotten our role is to make art and have instead chosen to make trinkets of self-discovery and self ain’t much to discover. 

The Running Wall at Storm King NY
by Andy Goldsworthy, one of the few humans
making art today.  Several years ago my wife and I
took our children to see this piece.
