“We must accept that this creative pulse within us is God’s creative pulse itself.”—Joseph Chilton Pearce

God has really been opening doors for us with Shekinah Arts and proving His faithfulness and I might even say we are walking in His favor right now in our little business, and I intend to honor God with what He has given us. I never want to forget why this business exists, who it exists for and even, how it exists. It is ALL for His Glory and His Kingdom! We are helping to build the Kingdom by equipping churches and ministries in their media, (and even social media marketing) and we will be His Light in the darkness.

Creative Matters

I ran across this through Collide Magazine and of course, immediately, went to download it. (Did I see “free”? and “creative”? That’s definitely for me!)

Oh. My. Goodness.

I recommend this book to anyone creative or not. Actually, I believe everyone is creative whether they realize it or not; maybe we have different levels of creativity or different areas of creativity, but

God is a creative God and we were created to be creative!

So, I downloaded this book and really, I haven’t read it yet. I confess. But I skimmed through the first few pages to see what it was about and WOW!

In their preface they describe what the book is about and why it was written. They end with this:

We reject Copy and Paste. We reject settling. We reject excuses. We reject creative atrophy. You were created for more. You were created to create. You matter. Your work matters. Creative Matters.

WOW! Again!

So go download the Creative Matters e-book (pdf) by Clark for FREE and enjoy!

OK, So I’m going to be reading this and keeping it accessible for sure! Loading it onto my iPhone so I can read in bed

Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned–every one–to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

What an amazing God we have! What amazing Grace He gives!
Blessings to you this Resurrection Week-end!
