FIRST AND FORMOST

I am not an official representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). I am merely a member of said church living a normal life, doing normal things. Everything contained in this blog is, "according to the dictates of (my) own conscience," (Articles of Faith #11) as far as I believe. That is to say, it is my personal belief that these things are acceptable by the church and God. Being human, and thus subject to error, I am fully aware that there may be times when my opinion and belief may be different than the official stance of the church. I try to align my life and ideas with those of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but again, I must account for the unavoidable errors that are bound to appear. Therefore, take what I post here, say here, and write here with a grain of salt. If there are any questions as to an official stance of the church, please go to www.lds.org. Thank You.

ART

Art is a bit of a generic term...but for the purpose of this post, I mean sculpture, painting, etc...(I'm afraid my knowledge about Art unto itself is limited). And the answer would be:

YES

It is by faith inspired paintings that we can feel God's love, his spirit, and his wish. By that I mean, what his purpose and glory is (which is): "...to bring to pass the cimmortality and deternal elife of man" (Moses 1: 39). I can remember catching a glance of a very simple picture. It was of a little girl in a blue robe, standing next to an off white robe. I could not see who it was that wore that robe, but I knew who it was. It was a picture of a little girl, who was full of love and innocence, looking up with admiration at Jesus. My heart got caught in my neck, and I was stunned for a few moments. It is touching moments like that, that lead me to believe that God delights in his artists. Provided they use their gift for good. Does all art have to be spiritual in nature? No. We are individuals, and we are free to express ourselves, but so long as we stay within the boundaries God has set.
