Does your church sanctuary declare the splendor of God?
Chapter 2
C H A P T E R 1 GOD IS FAR FROM BLAND!
We must not allow what I call the blandizing of our God, representing God in bland ways. Repeatedly when people see my banners, they say, “I didn’t know what I was hungry for in worship until I saw your banners.”
Why? It’s what happens when people see beauty that awakens in them the visceral experience that the Kingdom of God truly exists.
When the human spirit sees that beauty it comes conscious to its own longings and to the source of life behind all that is beautiful: the Creator.
Beauty awakens the realization that His Way is utterly fitting, astoundingly right, true, good. And yet more, that His Way completes all that we need.
